Both E! and TV Guide talked about ?Gilmore Girls? getting renewed for next year, in what would be the eighth season of the show. It seems that The CW is very interested in having the show back, but both Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel?s contracts run out this year.

Word has it that Graham is interested in returning but that Bledel isn?t. Both sources say that the network talked about continuing the show without Bledel, but that the idea was quickly scrapped.

(a big spoiler after the break)

TV Guide specifically had this to say?

David Rosenthal is seriously considering ending the season (or series?) with Lorelai and Luke not only married but expecting a baby.

While E! shares this?

You may have heard TV Guide’s report that Alexis Bledel (Rory) does not want to continue Gilmore Girls and that the CW is moving forward with the idea of doing the show without her. Well, according to my sources?who are highly placed within the Gilmore family?the plan of a Roryless eighth season has been firmly rejected for one very good reason: Lauren Graham is sticking by her onscreen daughter (you gotta love that) and has made it clear that she will not continue the show without Alexis on board.

So…will we get another season? Lauren and Alexis are making the decision as a team. If they both decide to partake in an eighth season, we’ll get another year of Gilmore bliss. If not (and it kills me to even think it!), this will be the final year of the show we so adore.
