Lauren Graham Says She Gets ‘No Residuals’ From ‘Gilmore Girls’ Netflix Popularity: ‘I’ve Been Paid in Love’

'Gilmore Girls' star Lauren Graham says that she doesn't receive residuals from the show's popularity on Netflix.

However, that digital popularity hasn’t necessarily seen extensive compensation for the series cast, as star Lauren Graham explained on a “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” appearance Wednesday evening. The topic of how a residuals-based compensation model can be translated and matched as television audiences shift to streaming has been an ongoing negotiation for the entertainment industry. In 2018, “Gilmore Girls” producer Gavin Polone sued Warner Bros., alleging that the network deprived him of residuals for the four-episode Netflix revival “A Year in the Life.”
