HBO is reviving Girls, with the Emmy-winning comedy set to return for five new episodes.

Production on the “limited run” is scheduled to begin in 2027, ten years after the Season 6 finale.

Created by and starring Lena Dunham, the series followed a group of friends navigating their twenties in New York across six seasons. The revival shifts the focus to a later stage of life, with the characters now approaching forty.

Dunham, who created, writes and directs, returns as Hannah, joined by Allison Williams as Marnie, Jemima Kirke as Jessa, Zosia Mamet as Shoshanna and Andrew Rannells as Elijah. Judd Apatow, who executive produced the original run, is back in that role.

Lena Dunham, creator, star, writer and director, noted:

“We always said we would only return to GIRLS if there was a specific story we were burning to tell. I’ve missed these characters, but for a long time I couldn’t quite picture them in the present day. Then, right around my fortieth birthday, they started talking to me in the shower. And, as you may remember, once this fivesome starts talking it’s pretty hard to get them to stop… It’s rare that you get the chance to return to something that changed your life with the gift of hindsight and a whole new level of gratitude and understanding. I love these girls (and boy), our friends at HBO, and all the people who have continued to discover the show and remind us afresh why we do this, which is the joy of being together… and the chance to wear yellow mesh… “

Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, Head of HBO & HBO Max Comedy Programming, noted:

“We’re thrilled to have Lena turn her gaze from the tumult of one’s twenties to the milestone of turning forty. To say the world has changed since we last saw Hannah, Marnie, Shoshanna, Jessa, and Elijah is a massive understatement, but we know fans – old and new – will be happy to see how they’ve grown and relieved to see that they’re still the ‘Girls’ we knew way back when.”

Girls revival is slated to premiere in late 2027 on HBO.
