Lena Dunham has confirmed a five-episode revival of her hit HBO series 'Girls', with all four lead actresses — Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet — returning alongside Andrew Rannells, with production set to begin in 2027. The announcement came via a mock video call released by HBO, nearly a decade after the original series wrapped. Dunham said the characters 'started talking to me in the shower' around her 40th birthday, with the new run set to follow them into middle age.

Judd Apatow, who helped get the original series made, will return as executive producer on the five-episode revival.

The show ran for six seasons from 2012 to 2017, earned 19 Emmy nominations and won two, and was ranked among the BBC's 100 greatest TV shows of the 21st century.
