- Sean Gunn, another 'Gilmore Girls' actor, previously criticized the lack of residual payments during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, highlighting similar concerns.
- The 2016 Netflix revival of 'Gilmore Girls' also faced legal disputes, with producer Gavin Polone suing Warner Bros. over alleged residual payment issues.
- Graham expressed gratitude for the show's ability to reach new audiences through streaming and suggested a potential future revival could take the form of a holiday movie.
