Lauren Graham and Yanic Truesdale have a Gilmore Girls reunion just in time for Christmas: 'Always a treat'

The holiday season is the best time for a Gilmore Girls rewatch, and an even better time for a cast reunion.

Lauren Graham and Yanic Truesdale appeared together in front of a glowing Christmas tree in a smiling selfie posted to Truesdale's Instagram account Monday. "We don't get to see each other often enough @laurengraham but when we do it's always a treat," he wrote. "Hoping you get to see your loved ones this week. Happy holidays."

Graham and Truesdale appeared together on all seven seasons of the beloved mother-daughter dramedy, as Lorelai Gilmore and her frenemy co-worker Michel Gerard. Where Lorelai was free-spirited, upbeat, and optimistic yet pragmatic, Michel was relentlessly pessimistic, mopey, and standoffish, concealing an inner sensitivity and, as time rolled by, a deep attachment to Lorelai, whom he was only pretending to loathe.

Truesdale even returned for a recurring role on Netflix's four-episode special Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.

The actor spent nearly all his Gilmore screen time with Graham, making this reunion a special treat for fans who still yearn for more.

There seems to be a greater fellow feeling between the Gilmore Girls ensemble than is often observed among the casts of other series, as reunions have been a frequent occurrence in the years since they last set foot in Stars Hollow.

Graham recently moderated a conversation with screen mom Kelly Bishop for the release of her memoir, The Third Gilmore Girl, calling the event "one of the best nights of my life" in an Instagram post. Graham also reunited with her Gilmore flame Scott Patterson (and Sean Gunn) in a recent holiday-themed Walmart ad, which was set in a wintry, snow-blanketed Stars Hollow.

Truesdale is also set for a professional reunion with Gilmore Girls creators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino for their upcoming Prime Video ballet drama, Étoile. The actor will appear in a recurring role as Raphael, the faithful assistant to Charlotte Gainsbourg's Genevieve, the head of a Parisian ballet company.

Truesdale has been working steadily in television since A Year in the Life premiered in 2016. He played a starring role in the Canadian friendship dramedy Les Mecs in 2020 and could most recently be seen as Chamuel in Ben Falcone's apocalyptic workplace comedy God's Favorite Idiot, starring fellow Gilmore regular Melissa McCarthy.

Graham, meanwhile, starred in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, a small-scale family holiday offering that has held its own against studio bruisers like Wicked and Moana II at the box office, maintaining a foothold in the top 10 in its seventh week in release.
