The Warner Bros. Studio Will Transform Into Stars Hollow From ‘Gilmore Girls’ This Holiday Season

T o Gilmore Girls fans, the town of Stars Hollow might feel like an out-of-reach utopia, but now they can actually visit it in real life. No, this doesn’t just mean you can visit a town that looks like Stars Hollow or is renovated to mimic it. The Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Hollywood will transform into Stars Hollow for the holiday season, with all the original sets and props. That means Luke’s Diner, Stars Hollow High School, Lorelai’s house, and the town gazebo will all be there. Props like Lorelai’s jeep, and Lorelai and Rory’s wardrobes, are also still intact.

The main town square, including the gazebo, has always been viewable by taking the studio tour, but the sets have been repurposed dozens of times, so it never fully felt like the real Stars Hollow. For this event, though, the sets will be decorated specifically to replicate Stars Hollow at Christmas — twinkle lights and all. Now, considering the studio tour is in Los Angeles instead of Connecticut, it probably won’t be covered in snow — but you never know what movie magic the studio will pull out.

Fans of the show know that the only way to tour Stars Hollow right is while munching on junk food, so the tour will provide plenty of snacks (and, of course, coffee coffee coffee) along the way.

Garo Soloff, Director of Marketing at Warner Bros. Studio Tour, said in a press release , “Gilmore Girls touched the hearts of so many fans and spans generations. This holiday season, our guests will enjoy a one-of-a-kind fan experience as they tour the iconic Warner Bros. backlot that will be transformed into the majestic town of Stars Hollow.”

Saunter Through Stars Hollow on a Quaint Warner Bros. Studio Tour

The "holidays made here" happening will whisk fans to several backlot spots seen in the "gilmore girls.", by alysia gray painter • published december 19, 2022 • updated on december 19, 2022 at 5:21 pm, what to know.

Quaint fictional towns are as much a part of a fan's heart as the characters and the storylines, for the perfect setting also plays a major role.

And few television series have boasted a beautiful burg like Stars Hollow, the charming, gazebo'd hamlet at the sparkly center of "Gilmore Girls."

Stars Hollow was set in Connecticut, but Luke's Diner, Mrs. Kim's Antiques, and the other storied structures of the close-knit village were located on Midwest Street, found on the legendary Warner Bros. Studio backlot.

It's a legendary location that can be admired while tramming around on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood , an around-the-calendar must-do for movie mavens.

But come the holidays, at least over several recent Decembers? Midwest Street got a glow-up, all to summon the spirit of Stars Hollow.

That glow-up was held up in 2020 and 2021, but it will be back from Dec. 22, 2022 through Jan. 1, 2023.

The Stars Hollow sign will be erected for "Holidays Made Here," and a number of photo opps will pop up around the sweetly realized, oh-so-strollable area. And merchandise created for the cozy celebration?

That, too, will be for sale in pop-up shops dotting the backlot.

"After two years of missing out on celebrating the holidays with our Warner Bros. fans, we are thrilled to have guests back on the lot for Holidays Made Here," said Danny Kahn, VP & General Manager, Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood.

"This event will be a must-see for fans, and we can't wait to share the magic of exploring Stars Hollow with everyone during the holiday season."

As has been a tradition with the popular tours in recent years, a peek around Stage 48 concludes the outing.

An array of iconic artifacts from both television and films on dazzling display, a gift shop brimming with tees, toys, and more, and the "Friends"-inspired Central Perk coffee bar are all found within the sizable structure.

The enchanting version of the fictional town will feature original sets and authentic props with photo opportunities available in front of the iconic Gazebo and official Stars Hollow town sign, Luke’s Diner, Lorelai’s house, Stars Hollow High School and more.

As guests explore the town square, sipping on hot coffee while enjoying Pop-Tarts® and other fan-favorite treats, they can snap a picture in front of the iconic Gazebo to capture the perfect Gilmore moment. This year the exterior of Luke’s diner will be dressed as seen in the show, providing the ideal setting for fans to reminisce about the many “life changing” coffee chats that were shared inside. The exterior sets of Lorelai’s and Sookie’s homes will be also be festively decorated for the holidays. At the Gilmore residence, authentic props including Lorelai’s 1999 Jeep Wrangler and mailbox (one that Kirk did not sell via his many entrepreneurial affairs) will be on display, plus much more. As guests step inside the house, original costumes worn by Lorelai, Rory and Luke will be exhibited with an accompanying montage of behind-the-scenes imagery for guests to relive their favorite scenes.

Following the success of last year’s “Holiday Lunch at Lorelai’s,” the Studio Tour is bringing back a holiday spread, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available for purchase. Even though Sookie won’t be preparing them herself, Emily Gilmore surely would approve of these culinary treats! Exclusive “Gilmore Girls” merchandise, such as spirit jerseys, mugs, keychains, notepads, hats and more, will also be available for purchase from the “Gilmore Girls” pop-up shop located in Lorelai’s house.

Head to Stars Hollow This Holiday Season on a 'Gilmore Girls' Studio Tour

Gabrielle Bernardini - Author

Oct. 23 2019, Updated 5:02 p.m. ET

Attention Gilmore Girls fans, you no longer have to imagine what it would be like to visit the fictional town of Stars Hollow. Warner Brothers is giving fans a chance to step into Amy Sherman-Palladino’s world in Connecticut and visit all of the show's most iconic spots. Yes, you can revisit the local places of Stars Hollow and follow in mother-daughter duo Rory and Lorelai Gilmore’s (Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham) footsteps for a day. 

For the second year, Warner Brothers Studio Tour is opening a Gilmore Girls holiday-themed event, which is running from Dec. 21 through Jan. 5 at the backlot in Los Angeles. So, if you’re a Gilmore Girls superfan, get your sassy one-liners ready. Here’s what you need to know about the holiday studio tour. 

View this post on Instagram Step into the streets of Stars Hollow at the Gilmore Girls event of the holiday season! Book your Tour from now until Jan. 6 and you'll be able to experience Lunch at Lorelai's and spend time on the original set of your favorite show. wbstudiotour.com A post shared by Warner Bros.

Visit Stars Hollow IRL for a holiday-themed Gilmore Girls studio tour.

The holidays in Stars Hollow always seemed magical on TV, and now you can visit the set in real-life. While we don’t expect the cold weather, snow, or cast of characters to make an appearance on the studio backlot, your imagination will run wild with the props and set pieces at fans’ disposal. 

Get your camera ready, and be prepared to relive some of your favorite scenes, because you and your friends will definitely be snapping a ton of pictures as you walk through the iconic set. Whether you’re looking to visit Sookie’s front porch, or grab a coffee at Luke’s Diner, this tour will surely impress any die-hard fan. 

View this post on Instagram The holiday season is the best time of year in Stars Hollow so we’re bringing @gilmoregirls holiday back! Visit the decorated sets of Luke’s Diner, Stars Hollow High School, Lorelai’s house and the iconic gazebo this holiday season. Link in bio . . . #WBTourHollywood #WarnerBrosStudios #HollywoodMadeHere #GilmoreGirlsHoliday #StarsHollow A post shared by Warner Bros. Studio Tour (@wbtourhollywood) on Oct 22, 2019 at 8:30am PDT

According to the website, you can also book a chance to eat lunch at Lorelai’s house. If you decide to opt out of the holiday-themed meal, you can still tour the house and see classic outfits from the show on display around the many rooms. Basically, this is an opportunity that fans will not want to miss.

Will there be a Season 2 of the Gilmore Girls revival?

After nearly a decade off the air, fans got to return to Stars Hollow in a four-episode Netflix special which wrapped up the beloved series on showrunner Amy's terms. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life ultimately saw now-writer Rory's return to the small town, telling her mom that she is pregnant. While fans have constantly been yearning for a reboot or a second revival special, nothing has been greenlit at the moment. 

In a 2017 interview, Lauren spoke with TVLine about the possibility of a reboot. While she had no word on if she'd ever revive her role as Lorelai again, she did share her idea about which direction the show could go. "To me, what would be a great next step — whenever it is, five years, 10 years — would be a Christmas movie," she said. 

For now, we'll just have to continue to binge-watch past seasons with a big cup of coffee in hand.

You can take a picture in the gazebo from 'Gilmore Girls' on the Stars Hollow set.

I had lunch at Al’s Pancake World and got coffee from Luke’s Diner.

Fans traveling to Connecticut to visit the home of Rory and Lorelai Gilmore aren’t able to shop at Doose’s Market or grab coffee at Luke’s Diner IRL. That’s because Stars Hollow is a fictional town created for Gilmore Girls. However, you can visit where Gilmore Girls was filmed at the Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank, California anytime. Right now may be the best time for fans, because for a limited time, Stars Hollow has been recreated on the backlot for fans to see. I visited the Gilmore Girls set for its holiday pop-up, and the immersive experience will make you feel like you’re actually spending the day in Stars Hollow.

Talk about a dream come true. Just for the holidays, the Warner Bros. Studios has incorporated a Holidays Made Here section of their tour that allows you to walk around Stars Hollow. It’s not just empty sets on a backlot that only eagle-eyed fans will be able to recognize, either. The entire Stars Hollow set has been made over so it looks just like it did in Gilmore Girls. That means you can grab Luke’s Diner coffee and browse antiques outside of Kim’s Antiques. You can also shop from Doose’s Market and pick up some essentials from Stars Hollow Books.

Diehard fans will be excited to see the Gilmore Girls Stars Hollow set even has Al’s Pancake World you can eat lunch at. Considering the restaurant known for its international cuisine is never seen on the show, this makes the Gilmore Girls tour at the Warner Bros. Studio a one-of-a-kind experience for fans. The Holidays Made Here experience is part of the regular studio tour that is happening now through Jan. 1, 2023, and tickets are just $69. Along with spotting Gilmore Girls easter eggs around every corner, here is everything you can do in Stars Hollow this season.

Stars Hollow where 'Gilmore Girls' was filmed has the Lorelai Gilmore house you can visit.

The first house you’ll see as you enter the Stars Hollow set is Lorelai’s house on your right. You can grab something to eat here or just snap pictures in front of the home. They even have the Gilmore’s mailbox out front so you can check inside for the big envelopes — aka your Harvard, Yale, and Princeton acceptance letters.

Across from the house is a barn with a sleigh for anyone hoping to snap some festive pics for the ‘Gram. You’ll also notice an Independence Inn sign on the barn, which is an easter egg to the first inn that Lorelai worked at in the series with Sookie and Michel.

Inside Lorelai’s house, they have her costume as well as Rory’s Chilton uniform on display. There’s also a shop in the house where you can buy a jacket that looks just like her sherpa-lined corduroy jacket.

You can pick up a button in Stars Hollow for either team Jess, team Dean, or team Logan to show whic...

At each one of the stores in Stars Hollow, you can pick up a free button to show whether you’re Team Jess, Team Dean, or Team Logan. I, of course, picked up a Team Jess button to wear proudly around. I also asked most of the staff which buttons were winning, and Jess seemed to be the most popular followed by Logan. Unfortunately, the Dean buttons were not very popular and were overwhelmingly chosen by some Supernatural fans who like Jared Padalecki.

Luke's Diner coffee is available where 'Gilmore Girls' was filmed.

You can really live like a Gilmore — aka eat all day — in Stars Hollow. They have tons of lunch options and snack carts throughout the Gilmore Girls set. I stopped to grab some Luke’s Diner coffee and Lorelai’s favorite Pop-Tarts. They also had Twinkies, apple fritters, and Emily Gilmore’s famous apple tart from her annual Christmas party.

The Dragonfly Inn is part of the 'Gilmore Girls' experience with Stars Hollow in California.

While you won’t be able to enjoy Sookie’s zucchini soup, you can take a break and eat your snacks in front of the Dragonfly Inn. They have tables out front where you can relax, or you can pose for some Insta pics on the porch in front of the sign.

There is a Kim's Antiques to visit in the Stars Hollow set where 'Gilmore Girls' was filmed.

It wouldn’t be a visit to Stars Hollow without browsing Kim’s Antiques for a bit. You can’t go inside the shop, but there are items out on the lawn like in the show. There’s also the sign out front for you to snap a pic with.

You can eat lunch in Stars Hollow from 'Gilmore Girls' at Al's Pancake World.

For the first time ever, you can actually go inside Al’s Pancake World. This week, the menu features pizza, chicken tenders, cheeseburgers, and egg rolls. You know, everything you would expect from a restaurant that has different international cuisine on the menu.

The secret bar from 'Gilmore Girls' is in the Stars Hollow set at the Warner Bros. Studio.

For fans of the reboot, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, the Warner Bros. Studio backlot also has nods to that as well. You can find the secret bar that is featured in the Netflix series right next to the Stars Hollow Gazette, which Rory takes over in the reboot.

The shops in Stars Hollow had clothes from 'Gilmore Girls' and merch you could buy.

You can recreate scenes from Gilmore Girls by walking along the shops in Stars Hollow. You can also stop in either the Stars Hollow Boutique or Stars Hollow Books to buy things like a Chilton uniform or Luke’s Diner mug. They even had a recreation of Lorelai’s pink coat from the OG series and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life that you could add to your closet.

Take a picture in front of Doose's Market from 'Gilmore Girls' in real life.

While you’re shopping in Stars Hollow, you have to stop by the Doose’s Market setup. Outside you’ll find fake produce that you can pose with as if you’re actually shopping for groceries. They even have Doose’s Market tote bags you can use for an Insta photo in front of the store. Unfortunately, you can’t go in to see aisle three, where Rory and Dean share their first kiss.

The 'Gilmore Girls' filming location has easter eggs to the show.

If you’re someone like me who rewatches the entire series at least once a year, you’ll be able to spot all the easter eggs in Stars Hollow. The big store next to Luke’s Diner has a ton of posters on the walls that will make super fans LOL, like Rory’s Ice Cream Queen poster and a map of Stars Hollow divided by Luke and Lorelai’s sections.

Luke's Diner is a real place on the Warner Bros. Studio tour.

Aside from the gazebo, the most iconic location in Stars Hollow is Luke’s Diner. It’s a must to take a picture with while you’re visiting the Gilmore Girls set. However, you might want to order a cup of coffee before with a Luke’s Diner sleeve so you can be holding Luke’s Diner coffee while standing under the Luke’s Diner sign. It just adds to the authenticity.

The Stars Hollow set has Stars Hollow High School from 'Gilmore Girls' you can visit.

Fans didn’t get to see Rory attend Stars Hollow High School for very long on the show, but it’s where she met Dean and also where Lane Kim touched Rich Bloomenfeld's hair. Stop by the steps of Stars Hollow High during your visit to the Gilmore Girls set. You may also recognize the filming location as Rosewood High School from Pretty Little Liars as well.

The Stars Hollow set has the Bjork snowman from 'Gilmore Girls.'

At the center of Stars Hollow, you’ll find the iconic gazebo where Lorelai and Luke finally said “I do” and Rory revealed to her mom that she is pregnant. You can pose for pictures on the gazebo and right next to it is the snowman contest from Season 2 that features Rory and Lorelai’s Bjork snowman. You’ll definitely want to get a picture with the infamous snowman along with the Stars Hollow sign as well.

The 'Friends' filming location is also the 'Gilmore Girls' filming location.

Since this is an extra experience added onto the regular Warner Bros. Studio Tour, you’ll get to see filming locations for other shows you know and love too. For the holidays, you can visit the Friends fountain and take a picture on the iconic orange couch. There’s also Phoebe Buffay’s taxi cab right outside Stars Hollow and inside the Friends Central Perk Café , you’ll get to see the Holiday Armadillo costume.

Kelly Bishop, Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham at the premiere of “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.”

By Addison Whitmer

Warner Bros.’ “Holidays Made Here” returns for the 2022 holiday season, bringing the world of “Gilmore Girls” to life in Burbank, California. After the event was canceled for two years for COVID-19 safety, fans of the show will be able to participate in the guided tour around Warner Bros. studio from Dec. 22 to Jan. 1.

According to an official release from Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, the Christmastime tour will whisk guests to the Midwest Street Backlot, where “Gilmore Girls” was filmed for seven seasons. Featuring a fully-decorated set, costumes and props, guests can ring in the holidays while exploring Stars Hollow, the fictional town where “Gilmore Girls” takes place.

Visitors will be able to visit major locations from the show, including Luke’s Diner, Lorelai’s house, the Stars Hollow town sign and much more. Guests may also find pop-up shops in the town, with festive “Gilmore Girls” merchandise exclusive to the “Holidays Made Here” event. Hot coffee and Poptarts will be available for Stars Hollow visitors, as well as photo opportunities around the town.

Stars Hollow, Connecticut, isn’t the only place guests will visit, Warner Bros. wrote. Fans of the hit TV sitcom “Friends” can travel to Stage 48, where the Friends Boutique and Central Perk Café will be decked out for the holiday season. The Holiday Armadillo costume — a gag from the show — will be on display for Central Perk patrons, the area features authentic costumes and props from the series.

“Holidays Made Here” will guide guests through the sets of other favorite Christmas films, such as “Elf” and “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.” KTLA reported that the Warner Bros. crew is excited to have guests back at the studio this holiday season.

“After two years of missing out on celebrating the holidays with our Warner Bros. fans, we are thrilled to have guests back on the lot for “Holidays Made Here,” said Danny Kahn, vice president and general manager of Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. “This event will be a must-see for fans, and we can’t wait to share the magic of exploring Stars Hollow with everyone during the holiday season.”

Tours will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Dec. 22 to Jan. 1., with the exception of Christmas Day. Tickets are available on the Warner Bros. website , with access to the “Holidays Made Here” event included in every ticket package.

Gilmore Girls Holiday Tour at Warner Bros. Studios

Books & Entertainment , Travel

If you were hoping to visit Stars Hollow for the Gilmore Girls holiday tour, we’re sad to report that Warner Bros. Studio will not be producing the Gilmore Girls holiday tour this winter season. This post has been updated for 2021-22 .

Hi Wendy! Unfortunately, Gilmore Girls Holiday will not be produced this year. We hope to bring it back in the future! However, the Gilmore Girls backlot sets are still part of the tour on our Midwest Backlot subject to availability due to possible production. — WB Tour Hollywood (@wbtourhollywood) November 4, 2021

WB Midwest Street Backlot Sets

As the tweet reads, the Gilmore Girls sets are located on the Midwest Street backlot and available to view as part of the Studio Tour which is open again. You’ll definitely be able to get your photo on the famous Stars Hallow gazebo. I’m not sure if you’ll have access to Lorelai’s house even though it was steps away from the “Anytown USA” lot.

Gilmore Girls Holiday Tour – 2018

In 2018 Wendy and I headed up to Burbank a few days after Christmas for lunch at Lorelai Gilmore’s house as part of the Warner Bros. Studio tour. Our love for Gilmore Girls has been well-documented here on the blog, and we knew we couldn’t miss this limited event opportunity.

The Gilmore Girls Holiday Tour was a limited engagement event and usually operated from late December to early January. *WB Studios will not product Holiday Lunch at Lorelai’s for 2021*

Warner Bros. Studio Tour includes visiting the Gilmore Girls set. This is considered a special event and only runs a few weeks from December to January. Read about our experience visiting Stars Hollow!

Can You Visit Stars Hallow?

Stars Hollow, Connecticut is a fictional town that only exists on the Warner Bros. backlot. When rewatching the series, I can’t believe that we stood in the Stars Hollow town square or that we sat on Lorelei’s front steps.

Is the WB Studio Tour Worth It?

There are several tour options, including the Studio Tour, the Classics Tour, the Deluxe Tour. The Gilmore Girls tour is considered an “event and special feature” and is included as part of the three tours. Unfortunately, you cannot purchase tickets just for the Gilmore Girls portion.

We chose the Studio Tour ($69/adult and $59/child) which is a 2-hour guided tour plus a one-hour self-guided tour. Stops include various backlots and sound stages, the DC Universe exhibit, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the Batman Batmobile Collection, Stage 48, the Friends Central Perk set, The Big Bang Theory sets and the studio store.

The Stars Hollow set is the very last stop on the tram tour. We first visited Desperate Housewives’ Wisteria Lane, tried on the sorting hat from Harry Potter, accepted an Oscar, grabbed a coffee at Central Perk and twiddled our thumbs during several DC Universe exhibits we weren’t particularly interested in.

There is a lot to see on the WB Studio tour. Sure, not everything is for everybody but it’s certainly worth the price of admission if you take advantage of all the offerings and any special events.

Purchase tickets here .

Warner Bros. Studio Tour includes a stop to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts. Make sure to sit under the "Sorting Hat" to see what Hogwarts House you will be sorted into.

What to Expect on the Gilmore Girls Tour

Most of the WB tour is guided and on an open-air tram. The Gilmore Girls backlot set is the very last stop on the tour and you’ll be allowed to roam around for however long you like and when finished you jump back on the tram for a ride back to the entrance.

When we visited in 2018, the tour lacked signage and without a guide in this portion of the tour, you weren’t really sure what was what. We thought maybe one of the houses looked like Dean’s house but who knew without a map or a sign that said so.

The gazebo in Stars Hollow is iconic. Think of all the scenes that had been filmed there! I’m rewatching the series right now and Luke’s sister, Liz, just had her Renaissance-themed wedding in the gazebo. And during the “Fall” episode in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life , Rory tells Lorelei that she is pregnant while sitting on the steps of the gazebo.

Apparently the gazebo is one of the most filmed locations on the WB studio lot.

Unfortunately, you won’t see any of the Gilmore Girls actors. You will see a lot of dudes dressed in flannel shirts and backwards ball caps though. Seriously. You will also see lots of moms and daughters, some even dressing like Lorelei and Rory.

Stars Hollow Set

When we visited, we saw a stripped down Luke’s Diner on our 2018 tour. For 2019, they have added the Williams Hardware sign and the iconic yellow Luke’s coffee cup sign to the building. Also added is the “Food” decal on the window we’ve all become so accustomed to seeing. You can only take photos in front of Luke’s Diner, there is no interior to the building.

In 2019, the Gilmore Girls tour added a dressed up Doose’s Market, Stars Hollow High School, Mrs. Kim’s Antiques, and Sookie’s House as part of the experience. Plus, they added signage with descriptions of the exterior sets with some WB fun facts.

Lorelai’s house is sadly just an exterior set. Wouldn’t it be awesome to sit at the kitchen table or run down the stairs in cut off denim shorts and cowboy boots? The actual interior was filmed on a set that has long been turned over to another television show. You can enter the front door of the house but it leads to no where.

On the porch, you can purchase Gilmore Girls merchandise and Dragonfly Inn cookies.

While we were there we posed in front of Lorelai’s house, the iconic Stars Hollow sign, and of course, perched on the steps of the town gazebo. Lorelai’s Jeep was out front too, but I guess we didn’t snap a photo.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour includes a special Gilmore Girls tour of the exterior sets in Stars Hollow.

Lunch at Lorelei’s House in Stars Hollow

The Gilmore Girls Holiday Tour is touted as “Lunch at Lorelai’s House” and is the last stop on the self-guided part of the tour. Lunch isn’t included, but of course, we had to fuel up for the drive home.

While there were holiday offerings on the menu, we opted for burgers (sadly, no Santa burgers) and sodas.

Since our trip, it looks like this year they’re also serving Pop Tarts, so that’s something to look forward to!

You can buy a bunch of Gilmore Girls merchandise on the Warner Bros. Gilmore Girls Tour, including Dragonfly Inn cookies, t-shirts, coffee mugs from Luke's and more.

The inside of the Dragonfly Inn was filmed in a studio, but Lorelai and Rory’s home was on a realistic-looking street constructed for Gilmore Girls.

Where is the real stars hollow every filming location for gilmore girls.

Stars Hollow provides a perfect background for Rory and Lorelai's busy, dramatic lives, and Gilmore Girls had several filming locations to depict it.

Stars Hollow is a lovely place with a cozy diner and quirky people, and Gilmore Girls was filmed in a few different locations to depict the fictional town. Despite not being an actual place, the show's small town is steeped in charm and feels real, thanks to the details present in every episode. Many series are set in tiny towns where everyone knows each other's daily business and dark secrets, but Stars Hollow feels unique, with memorable spots like Al's Pancake World, which features different dishes from around the world but not the sweet breakfast food of its name.

The inspiration behind Stars Hollow on Gilmore Girls comes from real Connecticut towns like Washington Depot. When wondering where was Gilmore Girls filmed, it's possible to learn the real-life locations behind the romantic moments between Luke Danes (Scott Patterson) and Lorelai (Lauren Graham), along with Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Lorelai's mother/daughter activities. While Rory dreams of going to an Ivy League college and leaving her town, it makes sense that she comes back in the Netflix revival Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and always sees this place as her home.

Where Was The Gilmore Girls Pilot Filmed?

The pilot episode of Gilmore Girls was filmed in Unionville, Ontario, particularly on Main Street. Unionville is part of Markham and provides the perfect backdrop for the beginning of Lorelai and Rory's story. Lorelai's age at the start of Gilmore Girls is crucial to this episode, as she's 32 years old, and her daughter is 16. Lorelai walks to get coffee at Luke's diner and walks past Tucci Armadio in Unionville, which sells clothes. A customer then hits on Rory before realizing that she's still in high school and that Lorelai is her young mother.

Several other Unionville spots show up in the pilot episode. The scenes at Luke's diner were shot at 156 Main Street, which is now Gratie Medical Spa. The big windows still look similar. There is also the Stars Hollow church, which is located at 150 Main Street. The gazebo and the location of Taylor's Old-Fashioned Shoppe are also real spots in Unionville (via Visit Markham ). The latter is at 170 Main Street, which is now a place to grab pastry and coffee called Old Firehall Confectionery.

Lorelai's relationship with Chris leads her to Luke , and it all starts in this episode as she asks the latter to pour her a cup of coffee, and they playfully fight. The pilot is a key part of Luke and Lorelai's romance. As Lorelai walks through her beloved town, the main street of Unionville suggests a warm-hearted place to live.

Where Was The Rest Of Gilmore Girls Filmed?

When it comes to where was Gilmore Girls filmed, the rest of the series was shot on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California. When comparing the pilot episode to the other episodes, it's clear that the heart, soul, and charm of Unionville were recreated on the set. Many of the characters' houses are part of the set, including those of Lorelai and Sookie St. James (Melissa McCarthy). Sookie and Lorelai's homes are actually connected (via Insider ). Other sets include Luke's Diner, Doose's Market, Stars Hollow High School, the church, Mrs. Kim's antique store, and the gazebo.

Rory's decision to go to Yale, not Harvard makes her happy, although she does experience several lows during this time. Rory's Yale scenes were filmed at the University of Southern California (via It's Filmed There ). In the memorable Gilmore Girls season 7 episode "Unto The Breach," Rory graduates and turns down Logan Huntzberger's (Matt) proposal as she seeks a more independent future. The characters walk and stand near the Norris Theater, the Bovard Administration Building, and Taper Hall. The beautiful campus of USC is a great backdrop for Rory's coming-of-age storylines and the big decisions that she has to make.

Gilmore Girls was also filmed at two locations in Los Angeles, and these were the background for some key moments involving Rory and her Gilmore Girls love interests . The show's Chilton scenes were shot at the Greystone Mansion located at 905 Loma Vista Dr. in Beverly Hills. The show was also filmed at The Ebell Club for several important plot lines, from the vow renewal of Emily and Richard Gilmore (Kelly Bishop and Edward Herrmann) to Rory's meaningful and chaotic school dance. Scenes of Rory eating at Chilton's cafeteria were also shot at this club (via Travel Pulse ).

Where Was The Netflix Revival A Year In The Life Filmed?

When wondering where was Gilmore Girls filmed, there's also the question of the Netflix revival, A Year in the Life. These four episodes were filmed on the same lot, in Burbank, California, as the original series. Stars Hollow looks as magical and nostalgia-inducing as ever in the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life revival . Rory visits home, and she and Lorelai buy coffee from Luke's and wander around the snowy streets, passing the mom-and-pop stores and that famous gazebo. It's the perfect introduction to these new episodes and a reminder of the banter that the mother-and-daughter duo is praised for.

Gilmore Girls showrunner and creator Amy Sherman-Palladino explained during the summer 2016 Television Critics Association press tour, " They changed our Stars Hollow... So we had to go back in and zhoosh up Stars Hollow. We had to rebuild all the sets .” It's also worth noting that in the years since Gilmore Girls ended in 2007 and the revival began filming, the show's set was used for Pretty Little Liars .

RELATED: Every Cameo In Gilmore Girls' Revival, A Year In The Life

Rory is 32 years old at the end of the Gilmore Girls revival and finding her way in the world, with Stars Hollow as a safe place to land. Although Stars Hollow isn't an actual, real place, the question of where Gilmore Girls was filmed would have to be the same for A Year in the Life as in the original series, thanks to nostalgia for Luke's diner, the gazebo, and the characters' homes. Whether Rory visits Lane Kim (Keiko Agena) at the International Food Festival or tap dances in the middle of the night, the Gilmore Girls Warner Bros. set looks as cozy as ever.

Porn Star Rocco Siffredi’s Netflix Bio-Series ‘Supersex’ Is More Tedious Than Sexy: TV Review

Supersex. (L to R) Alessandro Borghi as Rocco, Gaia Messerklinger as Moana in episode 104 of Supersex. Cr. Lucia Iuorio/Netflix © 2024

Loosely based on the experiences of real-life porn sensation Rocco Siffredi , known as the “Italian Stallion,” Netflix ’s “ Supersex ” isn’t actually very sexy at all. Instead, the seven-part series, created by Francesca Manieri, is a tale about family, masculinity and toxic bonds. While the show, which stars Alessandro Borghi in the lead role, has some interesting chapters, the surrealist elements — including some hallucinatory moments and the bizarre way some of the sex scenes are filmed — make it more than a biographical account. Instead, it’s an overly complex examination of relationships and the vices people indulge in to escape their emotional turmoil.

Series opener “Superpower” acts mainly as a coming-of-age story. Following Rocco’s retirement news, the show zips back to 1974. Ten-year-old Rocco Tano feels trapped in the impoverished rural town of Ortona and lost in the chaos of his family life. His mother is devoted to his mentally disabled brother Claudio, and Rocco lives in the shadow of his charismatic older half-brother, Tommaso (Adriano Giannini). Tommaso is Rocco’s North Star. He represents a type of freedom and hypermasculinity that appears out of reach for the men of Ortona. Tommaso also has the love of the town’s most stunning woman, Lucia (Jasmine Trinca), which only endears Rocco to him further.

In addition to examining Rocco’s family dynamic, “Supersex” zooms in on his fixation on sex, which begins at a very young age. The series unpacks his crush on Lucia and later his discovery of “Supersex,” a pornography magazine starring Gabriel Pontello. The euphoria from observing and later engaging in sex is a feeling Rocco chases across the next three decades. But his sex work comes at the expense of his mental health. It also destroys the romances and familial bonds he tries to form and maintain.

Despite a lifelong admiration of Tommaso’s machismo, his brother’s treatment of Lucia, who funds their lifestyle through her sex work on the streets of Paris, slowly shifts Rocco’s point of view. An invitation to a sex club awakens previously unknown desires. Becoming a porn star gives him financial security, but his inner turmoil stems from trying to live up to the expectations his family places on him.

“Supersex” dwells far too long on Rocco’s dysfunctional brotherhood with Tommaso, giving the toxic and exhausting connection unneeded exposition. Fewer episodes and less time spent on the self-destructive café manager would have kept the storyline squarely on Rocco’s psyche. Moreover, Manieri positions Lucia’s life as a counternarrative to Rocco’s. As with Rocco’s female co-stars, she isn’t allowed the same agency and status he obtains. Women are sexualized and then vilified for being sexual in the same breath. While Lucia eventually finds herself on a new path, it’s not without suffering and sacrifice, difficulties Rocco never contends with. The pair are an intriguing juxtaposition, but this mirroring gets muddled under their dark pull toward Tommaso. Similarly, Rocco’s enthusiasm for rough sex acts is never fully explored.

Still, “Supersex” makes some smart choices. Intercourse and other types of sex are showcased, of course, but these scenes aren’t gratuitous. Instead, they illustrate Rocco’s emotional state as he deals with loss and yearning or even demonstrate his self-worth.

The penultimate episode, “Resurrection of the Bodies,” is the standout and centers on Rocco’s return to Ortona amid his mother’s illness and one of the biggest highlights of his career, winning best European actor at the Hot d’Or Awards. In 53 minutes, Rocco confronts the effects of shame and how so-called family members react to him when he’s no longer playing by their rules.

Though Rocco’s story is solidly depicted, audiences hoping for a bio-series-type narrative won’t find it here. It’s also worth noting that Netflix offers a dubbed English version, but the show is best viewed in Italian with subtitles. Overall, “Supersex” isn’t just an examination of one man’s life and career but a look at the lives people create, however unconventional, when they dare to move through the world as their most authentic selves.

“Supersex” premieres March 6 on Netflix .
