Original 'Gilmore Girls' Producer Files Lawsuit over Netflix Revival

FUSE TV - Original 'Gilmore Girls' Producer Files Lawsuit over Netflix Revival

Original Gilmore Girls executive producer Gavin Polone has filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. Television, claiming his contract with the show says he should be getting paid for the four Netflix revival episodes.

In a report by Entertainment Weekly, we've learned that Polone, who developed the original show in 1999 with creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, is seeking $195,000 in damages, as his contract says he should be getting paid $32,000 for every episode made after 2003 and a percentage of funds earned by the show. However, Warner Bros. TV is declining to pay him, classifying the new 90-minute episodes as “derivative works based on the television series Gilmore Girls,” per the suit.
