An additional season? All adventurous women do.
Over a decade after audiences said goodbye to Hannah Horvath and her gloriously dysfunctional circle of friends, HBO has greenlit a revival of Girls, Lena Dunham’s beloved, cringe-inducing portrait of navigating your twenties in New York City.
And yes, the gang is getting back together: Dunham, Allison Williams, Zosia Mamet, Jemima Kirke, and Andrew Rannells are all set to reprise their roles for a five-episode limited run, with production expected to begin in 2027.
First premiering in 2012, Girls followed four young women stumbling through messy relationships, questionable career choices, and the particular existential dread of trying to figure out who you are in the city that never sleeps. Often hailed as one of the most iconic shows of the decade, the series traded designer wardrobes and aspirational brunches for unpaid internships, disastrous hookups, and some spectacularly uncomfortable conversations.
Now, with its central characters approaching a very different chapter of adulthood, we’re about to find out whether growing up ever really gets any easier. Here’s everything we know about the new season.
When Will The ‘Girls’ Revival Premiere?
Cameras begin rolling next year in 2027—marking 15 years since the show’s original premiere and 10 years after its Season 6 finale. While HBO hasn’t set an exact premiere date, a late 2027 or early 2028 broadcast window is expected following production.
