The 'Wednesday' Season 2 First Look Finds Jenna Ortega In A Graveyard, Naturally

Keiko Agena has a complicated relationship with 'Gilmore Girls' character Lane Kim.

“I think what [the role] was for people was different than what it was for me,” she tells Juliet Litman on an episode of the Dear Felicity rewatch podcast (via People). “In a weird way, I feel like I want to honor the experience that people had from the show, and what it meant to them, especially young Asian people, because I get that comment a lot, about what it was like for them to see someone like that on screen.”

And it's no surprise that as much as Gilmore Girls viewers love Lane, Keiko "[loves] her too. I can tell, when I meet someone who knows Gilmore Girls or who loves Lane, it's like, I recognize that love. I see that you love that person."

But it's possible to hold two conflicting emotions at the same time, and although Lane Kim was an incredibly special role at the time, there are some things Keiko would do differently today. “The best thing is to have a Korean American writer [and a] Korean American actor,” she says. “I don't think that that role, cast that way, would happen today. But at that time, in 2000, it was such a different time that I definitely know I wouldn't have said no or pulled myself out of that situation at that time...Now it's just a mix of just having gratitude for having gone through that experience and having that experience.”

Keiko Agena also keeps in touch with two very special 'Gilmore Girls' costars!

And one aspect of Gilmore Girls that Keiko Agena is thankful for is her relationship with the Gilmore Girls cast! And there are two costars in particular she frequently keeps in contact with: John Cabrera (who played Brian) and Sean Gunn (who starred as Kirk).

“There is this kind of lovely nostalgia for that time, and yet also we have years since then,” she says. “I [have] gone to both of their weddings. Our friendship is part Gilmore Girls and appreciation for that crazy time, and then part just like a million other things that are just like friends.”

I was totally surprised to learn she keeps in contact with John and Sean (supposedly) more regularly than Alexis Bledel, but it makes sense when you remember Keiko, John, and Sean are all around the same age — and Alexis is 7 years younger. Hopefully we get another Gilmore Girls reunion to see our favorite television BFF's reunite!

The '1923' season 2 teaser trailer proves we're in for more drama.

Probably the most important piece of news from the 1923 season 2 teaser is that it tells us new episodes are coming to Paramount+ February 23! We also see all our favorite Dutton family members, and I'm simply grateful. Jacob and Cara Dutton (Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren) hold down the fort at the Yellowstone ranch in Montana, Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) fights to get back to them (I mean "fighting" quite literally based on his bloody nose and a quick clip of what looks like a boxing).

Elsewhere, Alex (Julia Schlaepfer) is still stuck on the transatlantic sea voyage with only the return address on Cara's letters to guide her, Jack (Darren Mann) protects both the ranch and his wife Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph), and Teonna (Aminah Nieves) is still on the move to get to safety. Maybe she'll have a run-in with the Duttons of her own — I just know that Jacob and Cara would take her in!

'1923' season 2 is going to be "absolutely incredible," according to Brandon Sklenar.

It Ends With Us star Brandon Sklenar has been vocal about how amazing season 2 is going to be. “I can confidently say that it’s going to be absolutely incredible,” Brandon tells Forbes. “The tone shifts a lot and it’s definitely a bit darker. It’s very beautiful.” Okay I'm not really sure how season 2 could be darker than season 1 (and TBH, that makes me a little nervous), but more than anything, I'm just excited to dig in. Based on how quickly I devoured season 1, I can't wait to see what else creator Taylor Sheridan has up his sleeve.

And just like me, Julia is hoping for a happy reunion between Spencer and Alex! “I would love for Alex to make it to the ranch and meet the family,” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I hope we get to see some of her own strength come out now that she’s on her own. I want to meet the Dutton women. I think that that would be a lot of fun — and Teonna, we all want to meet Teonna.” GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT PARAMOUNT!
