Gilmore Girls’ Lauren Graham is returning to television, and her fans are thrilled
Lauren Graham from Gilmore Girls and Parenthood is officially returning to TV. She is joining the show Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist as a series regular, and her fans are all over social media showing their love for the actress.
NBC announced that Lauren Graham will be joining their new musical dramedy Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, which will be premiering midseason in 2020. Graham will be playing the role of Joan, the boss of the main character Zoey (played by Jane Levy), who is a computer coder. After a strange event, Zoey is able to hear the innermost thoughts of people around her through songs. Viewers will watch Zoey grapple with this unusual gift and realize the benefits it can bring to her life.
Graham’s role on Zoey’s Extraordinary will be her second appearance on an NBC show after her six seasons on the show Parenthood. The season finale aired January 29, 2015, but Graham also had other successes after Parenthood.
The actress starred in the Gilmore Girls Netflix miniseries titled Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, which aired back in 2016. Graham also played a temporary role in the 2017 return of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Also in 2017, Lauren Graham starred in a Fox pilot called Linda From HR, but unfortunately the show did not secure a spot in the 2017-18 season and was canceled.
And although Graham has kept busy, this has left a significant gap for many of her fans. Once her return to TV was announced, her fans responded with so much love (and, of course, so many Gilmore Girls references.
