Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

After almost a year of teasing, Lorelei and Rory have returned for four new episodes of Gilmore Girls on Netflix.

Each chapter is 90-minutes long and themed around a season - ‘Winter, ‘Spring’, ‘Summer’ and ‘Fall’ - with all of them being released on the streaming service.

Subtitled A Year in the Life, it picks back up the lives of the original main characters as they sip coffee in Stars Hollow, with Rory now travelling the world and Loelai facing a bit of a midlife crisis.

Original actors Lauren Graham (Lorelai), Alexis Bledel (Rory), Scott Patterson (Luke) and Kelly Bishop (Emily) are all back, along with Melissa McCarthy as Sookie, Milo Ventimiglia as Jess, Jared Padalecki as Dean, Liza Weil as Paris and Keiko Agena as Lane.

Official synopsis:

‘Picking up nine years after we last dropped in on the whimsical Connecticut town, Gilmore girls: A Year in the Life finds each of our leading ladies at a major crossroad: Lorelai’s relationship with Luke is at an unnerving standstill; Rory’s budding journalism career in New York has stalled before it's even begun; and Emily’s world is turned upside down following the untimely passing of her beloved husband, Richard.’

A Year in the Life has been dubbed the “final season” of the show, with the first seven seasons also streaming on Netflix now.
