Adam Driver Not Participating in ‘Girls’ Revival: “Wish Them the Best of Luck”

Adam Driver has confirmed he will not return for the upcoming five-episode "Girls" reboot. When asked if he would sign on for the revival, the actor stated, "Nope, but I wish them the best of luck," according to TheWrap. Driver previously portrayed Adam Sackler, the on-and-off boyfriend of Lena Dunham's character Hannah Horvath, throughout all six seasons of the original HBO series.

The announcement of the revival follows accounts from series creator Lena Dunham regarding her time working with Driver. In her 2026 memoir "Famesick," Dunham described a complicated relationship with the actor, alleging he was at times "verbally aggressive" on set and once "hurled a chair at the wall" near her. Dunham noted to People that she felt she had "two different relationships" with him and has not spoken to him since the original series ended in 2017.

The reboot is set to go into production next year. While Andrew Rannells is set to return as Elijah, there is no word on which other original cast members will reprise their roles, though Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, and Zosia Mamet have reunited to announce the project.
