Some familiar Stars Hollow faces will be on hand for the Gilmore Girls reboot.

Stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel are reprising their roles as mom Lorelai and daughter Rory from the 2000 to 2007 broadcast network series set in the fictional New England small town.

They'll be joined by Liza Weil as Rory's frazzled friend Paris Geller and Yanic Truesdale as Lorelai's colleague Michel Gerard.

Netflix has also now confirmed that the upcoming four-episode series will include all three actors who portrayed Rory's serious love interests: Milo Ventimiglia as the books and music-loving badboy Jess Mariano, Matt Czuchry as trust fund baby Logan Huntzberger and Jared Padalecki as devoted first love Dean Forester.

Canadian actor David Sutcliffe, who portrayed Lorelai's former boyfriend and Rory's father Christopher, will also be back.

One prominant Stars Hollow figure yet to be confirmed is Lorelai's best friend Sookie St. James, portrayed by hit comedic actress Melissa McCarthy.
