HBO's Girls, now pushing 40, are coming back
Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Zosia Mamet, Jemima Kirke, and Andrew Rannells will reunite to film a new season of Girls next summer.
HBO has announced a highly anticipated return of the hit series Girls, now in its 40th year. All four main cast members, Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Zosia Mamet, and Jemima Kirke, will reprise their roles, along with a fifth Girl, Andrew Rannells. The limited-run reboot series is set to begin production next summer, returning to HBO proper. Executive producer Judd Apatow is also involved in the project.
Dunham revealed her decision to return in a press statement, expressing that she had missed the characters and had been inspired by them during her fortieth birthday shower. She believes the show continues to resonate with audiences, who find it relatable as they navigate their own lives in Brooklyn. With the passage of time, Dunham feels she has gained new insight into the characters and their journeys, making this a unique opportunity to revisit the series with a fresh perspective and appreciation.
