"Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" brought back the popular show a decade after it ended. However, the mini-series concluded with a cliffhanger and now Netflix is teasing the possibility of another season being released.
The mini-series ended with Rory (Alexis Bledel) telling her mother, Lorelai (Lauren Graham), that she was pregnant but she did not reveal who the father was. A tweet from Netflix teases that Rory is aiming to find out who the father is as it shows an image of Logan (Matt Czuchry), Paul (Jack Carpenter) and a blank slot that simply states "A Guy Dressed in a Wookie Costume."
Fans who did watch the mini-series will recall that the third, unidentified person slept with Rory while she was working on a story. The image tweeted also showcases a banner that reads "finding my father" and the caption "Where's an eighth grade science fair when you need one?"
This image is reminiscent of a similar experiment done by April (Vanessa Marano) back in Season 6 of the original series, Screen Rant reported. It was through this experiment she discovered Luke (Scott Patterson) was her biological father.

However, series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has been coy regarding the possibility of a second mini-series. This may change given the success of "A Year in the Life" and the high demand from fans to get a conclusion regarding who the father is. During the show, Logan was the one most widely presumed to be the father given he was the one Rory slept with.
Daniel Palladino did explain back in December that he and Amy did know who the father of Rory's child is. She stated there were clues in the mini-series but they may be less obvious to viewers due to the quick passing of time in the four episodes. She further explained that the father's identity was not as important as the journey getting to that cliffhanger.
"We just sort of felt like we wanted to leave it in that way because it was really less about who the father was and more about Rory repeating her mother's history," she told E! News. With that statement it is possible that there really was no intention of following the series up with another season.
"Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" is available on Netflix. The official trailer can be viewed below:
