Will Melissa McCarthy return to 'Gilmore Girls' Netflix revival as Sookie?

The question remains: will Melissa McCarthy, who played Sookie St. James in the original show, be involved in the upcoming Netflix Gilmore Girls revival?

It seems like the question is still left unanswered, as creator Amy Sherman-Palladino sort of gave an open-ended answer to it in a recent interview.
One thing is for sure, Sherman-Palladino would love for McCarthy’s Sookie to return if she’s able to make time in her busy schedule.

“She’s really f—ing busy,” Sherman-Palladino told TV Line. “But the thing I have said [to her team] is, ‘Look, if Melissa is available and has an afternoon free, I’ll write her a scene.’”

She added, “Melissa was one of us. If she has a spare moment to run over [to the set] — even if for just a cameo — we would be totally game. And if it’s a last-minute thing, I would write her in and we would figure it out. That’s the way we left it.”

As we previously reported, the Gilmore Girls revival will cover a year's time and consist of four 90-minute episodes.
