Alex Kingston announced her role at a Miami fan convention over the weekend: “I also got to play a role in the reboot of the Gilmore Girls. I play a very eccentric character in a couple of those episodes.”

She added: “It was so funny for them to sort of reboot it again. Alexis… she’s all grown up. That’s amazing. I remember when she was so young. This time, though, they didn’t shoot the show at Warner Bros lot. We were on location, which was nice.”

Titled Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, the limited series consists of four brand new 90-minute episodes and will be released on 22 November.
