Sookie is BACK! Melissa McCarthy confirms Gilmore Girls reunion

Finally! We thought she might have banished from Stars Hollow and the beloved Sookie would never be seens again (but, obviously we totally over-reacted).

Melissa McCarthy has confirmed that she is making her way back to the Gilmore Girls.

The actress had turned down the chance to be a part of the reunion show due to scheduling issues, but she has now revealed that all has worked out and Sookie St James is BACK.

While speaking on The Ellen Degeneres Show, Melissa said: "There has been something that I have been asked about so, so many times and it hasn't worked out and there is… they're making four new movies of the Gilmore Girls which is a show which was near and dear to my heart for four years.

"And we could not get those schedules to work. And there was a whole thing and then I was gonna be out of the country and blah, blah, blah. And literally about an hour and half ago we figured out that I am gonna go back and do it and I am so excited. And they are gonna be amazing."
