Lena Dunham has offered a promising update for fans of the hit series Girls, revealing that she has a plot idea for a potential film set years after the show’s divisive finale.
In a new interview on SiriusXM, the 39-year-old creator and star said she would “love to do” a follow-up movie, adding: “I have to say, I’ve got a little plot line in my brain. I do. It’s impossible not to think about where they are now.”
Dunham also shared that she has a new text group with her fellow leading ladies – Jemima Kirke, Alison Williams and Zosia Mamet – as well as Andrew Rannells, titled “Survivors of the Crackcident”, a nod to one of the show’s most memorable episodes.
She revealed that the group often discusses what their characters might be up to today. “Jemima will pop in with the best take on like, ‘Jess is really into RFK Jr.’ and you’re like, ‘Of course she is. Of course she is.’ She does not want anyone getting vaccines. She is pissed,” Dunham explained.
Girls ran for six seasons from 2012 to 2017, following the lives of Hannah Horvath and her friends in New York. The finale saw Hannah grappling with motherhood after conceiving a baby with a surf instructor, supported by her divorcee best friend Marnie, while Jessa and Hannah reconciled and Shoshanna cut ties with the group.
Dunham’s comments come as she promotes her new memoir, Famesick, in which she reflects on making the series and details a confrontation with co-star Adam Driver, alleging he screamed and hurled a chair during rehearsal. Driver has yet to address the claims.
