This is the only season to not have Amy Sherman-Palladino or Daniel Palladino as a showrunner or a writer. The newly formed CW network claimed their departure was due to a salary dispute. Amy Sherman-Palladino later insisted that she and Daniel Palladino could not come to an agreement with CW because they needed a short series hiatus to rest, the hiring of more writers to relieve their work load, and an additional eighth season to finish the story lines properly. Because of this change, this season received mixed reviews from television critics and fans.
On May 3, 2007, The CW announced that the show was cancelled, and that the finale, which was filmed in April, would air on May 15.
Season seven served as the formal conclusion to the show until November 2016, when Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life aired on Netflix, consisting of four 90-minute films. Sherman-Palladino was in charge of the new revival.
