Showrunners cast their favorite actors in new projects all the time, so it’s no real surprise that Lauren Graham could show up in Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino‘s current project, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. However, Graham has a very specific role she wants to play in the Emmy-winning comedy series.
“Lauren made a request, and Lauren is my queen and the reason I have a career, so I honor the request of Lauren Graham,” Sherman-Palladino told Entertainment Tonight on the PaleyFest carpet this weekend. “Hopefully [she’ll be in Season 3]. It would be lovely.”
Graham has been pitching Sherman-Palladino on her potential part in Maisel since early 2018, according to The Hollywood Reporter. However, the showrunner isn’t spilling on who she wants to play in the Maisel world because she wants to give Graham what she wants.
