We've been dreaming of a "Gilmore Girls" revival for so damn long, sometimes it's still hard to believe that it's actually happening. 

And now, we have photographic proof that Rory, Lorelai, Luke, Emily and the rest of the Stars Hollow gang have indeed been revived, and not just in our WB-fueled dreams. 

In seven photos released by Netflix on Monday, Rory seems to have traded in the newsroom for a classroom, Lorelai looks happy as can be with Luke, Stars Hollow is putting on a musical (It has to be "Hair," right?) and Emily is, of course, more regal than ever. 

Take a look at the photos below:

Netflix ordered four 90-minute episodes of the beloved dramedy in January, much to the pleasure of fans who fell in love with the series 16 years ago. All of the original cast members are set to reprise their roles, including Melissa McCarthy, who announced her return on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" last week. 

“Literally about an hour and a half ago we figured out that I’m going to go back and do it, and I am so excited,” Sookie St. James McCarthy told DeGeneres. 

“I’m very happy to go back to Stars Hollow,” she added. “It’s happening.”
