Lena Dunham Shares Her Vision for a ‘Girls’ Movie in Playful Exchange with HBO Max
Nearly a decade after the conclusion of its six-season run, Girls creator Lena Dunham is exploring the possibility of reviving the acclaimed series. In a recent conversation on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy, Dunham shared that she has a "little plot line in my brain" and has been in contact with the cast through a group text, discussing a potential reunion when the show is "appropriately missed."
“I would love to do it, and I have to say, I got a little plot line in my brain. I do,” Dunham expressed. She noted that her conversations include insights from cast member Jemima Kirke, who humorously shared that her character Jess is now “really into RFK Jr.” and has strong feelings about vaccination.
Dunham emphasized her affection for the cast, stating, “I just see them, and also, those are my muses. So, I think it’s an obvious thing. We don’t want to come back to the party too early. We want to be appropriately missed.”
In a nod to marketing strategies, Dunham referenced the approach taken by Miley Cyrus for the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special, suggesting similar tactics could compel HBO to consider her idea. “Well, there’s a Girls movie, HBO Max!” she joked. “I would be delighted.”
Dunham’s reflections on Girls are also detailed in her memoir, Famesick, which is currently available. The series, which aired from 2012 to 2017, followed the life of Hannah Horvath, a millennial writer navigating her twenties in New York City alongside friends portrayed by Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, and Zosia Mamet.
