Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

We now have picture proof that the Netflix-commissioned reunion of the Gilmore Girls is happening.

Yanic Truesdale, who played Michel Gerard on the show, and who we weren't even sure was coming back, posted a picture of himself with Lorelai in what appears to be the cost interior of the Dragonfly B&B they ran together.

This picture, however, also serves to remind Gilmore Girls devotees that Melissa McCarthy's Sookie - the third member of this friend group - will not return to small town Conneticut.

McCarthy said this week that she wasn't invited back, while showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino has indicated she would welcome the now big-time movie star.

Netflix has commissioned four 90-minute episodes, retaining its title of show after it rescued Arrested Development.

Here are the characters and actors we do know are coming back: Lauren Graham (Lorelai), Alexis Bledel (Rory), Kelly Bishop (Emily), Scott Patterson (Luke), Matt Czurchy (Logan), Liza Weil (Paris), Keiko Agena (Lane) — and now Yanic Truesdale (Michel). Edward Hermann, who played Richard Gilmore, died in 2014.
