Gilmore Girls Documentary Uncovers Untold Stories from Cast and Crew

In October 2025, documentary filmmakers Meghna Balakumar and Kevin Konrad Hanna are set to release their in-depth exploration of the beloved TV series Gilmore Girls. Titled Drink Coffee, Talk Fast, the documentary features never-before-seen interviews with cast members, including Kelly Bishop, Jared Padalecki, and Chad Michael Murray, as well as behind-the-scenes insights from the show's crew and writers.

The filmmakers, who describe themselves as "fans" of the series, have taken a "super grassroots" approach to the project, reaching out to the Gilmore Girls community and allowing the connections to grow organically. They share that many of the people they interviewed were eager to relive their experiences and introduce the duo to other cast and crew members.

Despite their excitement at working with the show's talents, the filmmakers remained focused on the task at hand, capturing the essence of the series and the impact it had on its devoted fanbase. As one of the filmmakers, Balakumar, notes, "a lot of the people we interviewed were like, 'Wow, this was so much fun. I loved reliving this.'"

With over 15,000 individual contributions to their Kickstarter campaign, the documentary is well on its way to completion, though the filmmakers continue to seek out additional interviews to further enrich the project.
