Lauren Graham Reveals No Netflix Residuals from Gilmore Girls

Lauren Graham, best known for her role as Lorelai Gilmore on 'Gilmore Girls', recently discussed the impact of streaming on her earnings from the show during an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'. Despite the series' continued popularity on Netflix, Graham revealed that she receives no residuals from the platform, stating, "I've been paid in love and appreciation."

Graham acknowledged that 'Gilmore Girls' has reached a wider audience over the years, pulling in new fans across generations, which she finds both surprising and heartwarming. She expressed her enduring connection to the character and the show's legacy while remaining open to the idea of a potential new revival. Despite the financial drawbacks, Graham continues to embrace the love from fans and the significance of the series in pop culture today.
