Gilmore Girls' New Streaming Home Creates A Perfect Back-To-Back Binge

On June 30, 2026, fans of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore had their world rocked when Gilmore Girls left Netflix, its streaming home for the past 12 years. Though the show has also been available to stream on Hulu since 2024, there was still much speculation about whether Gilmore Girls would find a new “home,” and where that would be.

Gilmore Girls is owned by Warner Discovery through its subsidiary, Warner Bros., and the company also owns HBO Max, so conventional wisdom suggested this is where the series would land. However, as of July 1, 2026, Gilmore Girls is now available on Amazon’s streaming service, Prime Video. (The prequel series Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life is under contract to remain on Netflix until November 2026.)

This is quite a big change, particularly for Gilmore Girls‘ young fans who grew up with the show only ever on Netflix. However, the good news is that Prime Video also has plenty of Gilmore-friendly titles in its catalog for fans to try out after they’ve completed a rewatch. A perfect example is Hart of Dixie.

Premiering on the CW in 2011, Hart of Dixie stars The O.C.‘s Rachel Bilson as Zoe Hart, an ambitious doctor whose lifelong dream of becoming one of New York’s top heart surgeons goes up in smoke. Reeling, Zoe takes an unexpected offer to work as a general practitioner at a practice in the small town of Bluebell, Alabama. A total fish out of water at first, Zoe slowly learns to appreciate life at a slower pace, and not only finds love, but herself along the way.

Though Hart of Dixie never became one of the CW’s most iconic shows like Gossip Girl or The Vampire Diaries, it still had a respectful four-season run, lasting for a total of 76 episodes. This is more than enough to keep Gilmore Girls fans busy for a while, and they’ll find lots to like about Zoe’s new life in Bluebell.

Hart Of Dixie Has A Lot In Common With Gilmore Girls

What really makes Gilmore Girls stand out from similar shows is its distinct sense of place. With its idyllic town square, its quirky residents, and its quirkier festivals, Stars Hollow, Connecticut, seems like one of the coziest places on Earth.

While it’s a fictional town that fans can’t actually visit — as much as they may wish to — finding another show with an equally charming small-town setting is the next best thing. Enter Bluebell, Alabama, which boasts almost identical quaint and charming vibes as Stars Hollow — which it should, considering Hart of Dixie was filmed on the exact same Warner Bros. Studios backlot as Gilmore Girls. The gazebo is even the same!

Not only is Hart of Dixie‘s Bluebell also stocked with plenty of eccentric locals, but the romantic story beats echo Gilmore Girls‘. In the CW show, Zoe’s core relationship story is a love triangle between straitlaced lawyer George Tucker and bad boy bartender Wade Kinsella, mirroring the Team Dean/Jess/Logan debates surrounding Rory’s love life. If that’s not enough, Wade eventually becomes the sole owner of the Rammer Jammer, the town watering hole, and his gruff attitude gives him and Zoe a grumpy-sunshine dynamic thoroughly reminiscent of Lorelai and Luke’s relationship.

Other Shows On Prime Video That Gilmore Girls Fans Would Love

The recommendations don’t begin and end with Hart of Dixie, either. Prime Video has plenty of other shows for Gilmore Girls fans to enjoy, including several from the show’s creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino. An obvious pick is her other most successful venture, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

While Gilmore Girls never got the Emmys and awards love it deserved, the same can’t be said for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The comedy series about a 1950s New York housewife who becomes a standup comedian after her husband leaves her for another woman picked up a whopping 20 Primetime Emmy Awards during its five-season run from 2017 to 2023. Gilmore Girls fans will recognize Sherman-Palladino’s trademark fast-talking banter between protagonist Midge Maisel and her manager, Susie Myerson.

Amy Sherman-Palladino Shows Available to Stream on Prime Video
Title	Release years	# of seasons	# of episodes
Gilmore Girls	2000-2007	7	153
Bunheads	2012-2013	1	18
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel	2017-2023	5	43
Étoile	2025	1	8

Another Sherman-Palladino offering that some fans might not have heard of is Bunheads. Starring Broadway legend Sutton Foster (who also had a role in A Year in the Life‘s Stars Hollow musical, Bunheads sees Foster’s Michelle Simms as a washed-up Las Vegas showgirl who ends up teaching ballet in a small town not entirely unlike Stars Hollow. The series only ran for a single 18-episode season, but out of all of Sherman-Palladino’s work — her other canceled-after-one-season ballet series, Étoile, is also on Prime Video — it’s the closest in tone to Gilmore Girls.

Fans who’d like to venture outside of ASP’s filmography also have plenty of options, particularly those who are partial to the Gilmore Girls storylines surrounding Rory’s love life. The Summer I Turned Pretty is all about young love, centering on a love triangle between the teenage Isabel “Belly” Conklin and brothers Conrad and Jeremiah, whom she sees every year during her family’s annual summer beach trips. What Gilmore Girls does for fall, The Summer I Turned Pretty does for summer, as the fictional Cousins Beach is very much the coastal answer to Stars Hollow.

Meanwhile, Prime Video’s Every Year After, which released its entire first season on June 10, 2026, also has plenty of summery small-town vibes, and its protagonist, Persephone “Percy” Fraser is a writer who’s stuck in a rut — sound familiar? What’s more, Every Year After was recently renewed for season 2, so between that, Hart of Dixie, and more, there are plenty of shows on Gilmore Girls‘ new home platform to keep fans occupied.
