Lauren Graham touched down in Park City on Thursday to attend the Sundance Film Festival premiere of her new film, Twinless.

She is scheduled to be in Park City for only about 24 hours before jetting off to New York City for a media promotion blitz for her new show, "The Z-Suite" on Tubi.

The show, set to premiere Feb. 6, casts Graham as Monica Marks, an advertising maven, and Nico Santos as her loyal right-hand executive, both of whom find themselves pushed out and canceled after a blunder. Together, they must find a way back to glory while facing off against eager Gen Z staffers who have taken her place.

“I’m on a new network where [the show is among] the first scripted programming,” she explained. “There’s a little bit of pressure, but also just a lot of momentum and excitement and we will just try not to screw it up.”

After the trailer dropped this week, a handful of headlines appeared trying to connect the dots between Graham’s Lorelai Gilmore on "Gilmore Girls" and Monica Marks on "The Z-Suite". Graham appreciates the connection but insists the characters could not be more different.

“There are no similarities and I hope they’ll come along for this ride,” she told THR. “I can’t do that. I can never replicate the beauty and the magic of that character and that writing and that time, so I might as well not try. This is something very different, but she’s fun and kooky and the show has a spirit to it that I think has a coziness to it, but it’s very different character.”
