We now have picture proof that the Netflix-commissioned reunion of the Gilmore Girls is happening.

Yanic Truesdale, who played Michel Gerard on the show, and who we weren't even sure was coming back, posted a picture of himself with Lorelai in what appears to be the cost interior of the Dragonfly B&B they ran together.

This picture, however, also serves to remind Gilmore Girls devotees that Melissa McCarthy's Sookie - the third member of this friend group - will not return to small town Conneticut.

McCarthy said this week that she wasn't invited back, while showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino has indicated she would welcome the now big-time movie star.

Netflix has commissioned four 90-minute episodes, retaining its title of show after it rescued Arrested Development.

Here are the characters and actors we do know are coming back: Lauren Graham (Lorelai), Alexis Bledel (Rory), Kelly Bishop (Emily), Scott Patterson (Luke), Matt Czurchy (Logan), Liza Weil (Paris), Keiko Agena (Lane) — and now Yanic Truesdale (Michel). Edward Hermann, who played Richard Gilmore, died in 2014.
