Lena Dunham Has ‘Girls’ Movie Idea, Tries To Force HBO Max’s Hand

Nearly a decade after Girls ended its six-season run, Lena Dunham might take matters into her own hands to bring the show back.

The Golden Globe winner recently revealed she has “a little plot line in my brain” and has been in contact with the cast via a group text chain about reuniting when the series is “appropriately missed.”

“I would love to do it, and I have to say, I got a little plot line in my brain. I do,” she admitted on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. “It’s impossible not to think about where they are now. I will text with–I have a new chain with the girls and Andrew [Rannells] called ‘Survivors of the Crackcident.’ Jemima [Kirke] 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 added, “I just see them, and also, those are my muses. So, I think it’s an obvious thing. We don’t want to come back to the party too early. We want to be appropriately missed.”

Referencing the Miley Cyrus method of “promote it before it exists,” which recently resulted in Disney+ getting on board with the Disney alum’s Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special, Dunham attempted to force HBO‘s hand.

“Well, there’s a Girls movie, HBO Max!” joked Dunham. “I would be delighted.”

Dunham has recently reflected on her time on the HBO series in her memoir Famesick, which is now available. She created and starred in Girls as millennial writer Hannah Horvath, navigating her 20s in New York City with friends played by Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet. The show ran for six seasons from 2012 to 2017.
