Don’t expectLena Dunhamto revisitGirlsanytime soon.
As part ofThe Hollywood Reporter’slatest cover story, Dunham opened up about the possibility of rebooting the acclaimed HBO hit.
“We all recognize it’s not time yet,” said the writer and actress, 35. “I want it to be at a moment when the characters' lives have really changed.”
Casey Bloys, who serves as the chief content officer of HBO and HBO Max, also shut down a potentialGirlsreboot toTHR, telling the publication, “As proud of the show as we are, there aren’t any plans to bringGirlsback.”

ButTHRnoted that Dunham “isn’t averse” to revisitingGirlsin a way similar to how HBO Max did theSex and the Cityspinoff,And Just Like That. She even has “engaged in informal talks” with the premium network.
“It was such a pleasure to see those women back together and to see them take on middle-age[d] sexuality,” she explained. “For me, those are women who can do no wrong.”
Dunham created and executive producedGirls, which ran for six seasons between 2012 and 2017. The series followed aspiring writer Hannah Horvath (Dunham) and her three friends as they navigate their 20s in New York City.
Allison Williams,Zosia Mamet,Jemima Kirke,Andrew Rannellsand Alex Karpovsky also starred in the popular comedy-drama.

According toTHR, Dunham got “teary-eyed” while recalling the first time she ever stepped onto the set ofGirls.
“I look back, and just, like, the sheer gall of me, stepping on to set that first day; 24-year-old me standing in Silver Cup Studios, the oldSex and the Citystudios, going, ‘Let’s do this,'” she recalled. “I’m proud of myself.”
