The couple did an interview with TV Guide writer Michael Ausiello, where they went further into their reasons for leaving the show. The official statement was as follows: "Despite our best efforts to return and ensure the future of Gilmore Girls for years to come, we were unable to reach an agreement with the studio and are therefore leaving when our contracts expire at the end of this season. Our heartfelt thanks go out to our amazing cast, hard-working crew and loyal fans."
On August 1, 2006, the Hollywood Reporter reported that the Fox Network had ordered a pilot of a new comedy project from Sherman-Palladino. The untitled comedy, which has received a pilot commitment from the network, is about two sisters who come together after years apart, when one of the sisters agrees to carry the other's baby. Sherman-Palladino will write, executive produce and direct the pilot. [3]
