4 things to know about the new 'Gilmore Girls'

"Gilmore Girls" creators are aware that spoiler culture could quickly ruin the famous and mysterious final four words of the series they've kept under wraps for years. The Netflix revival series picks things up with mother-daughter duo Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory (Alexis Bledel) nine years after the series finale in 2007, and consists of four 90-minute installments, each representing a season.

Here are four things to ponder:

Those mysterious words: "It would be great if people who wanted to see the final four words first got some therapy before it actually aired and got rid of that inclination," Amy Sherman-Palladino said on a recent panel. "It really is a journey leading up to the last four words. I do think it's going to mean a lot more if you take the journey. That being said, what can I do?"

Can families ever get along? The show has grown up, and so, too, has the relationship between the two women. "I really feel like the [stuff] in your family never gets worked out," Sherman-Palladino said. "What's cool for these two is that … now it's [about] two women. Suddenly, they can have cocktails together."

Love and romance: For Bledel, she tried to downplay the intense scrutiny about whom Rory might end up with romantically: former boyfriends Dean, Jess or Logan. "There is so much more to her character," she said.

The future of the franchise: The executive producer would not rule out more of the beloved series in the future. "This is what it is. It's what it is right now," Sherman-Palladino said. "We put this together; we told these stories; now we throw 'em out into the universe."

"Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" premieres Nov. 25 on Netflix.
