@cnn: All adventurous women do...come back for a revival. The Emmy Award-winning comedy series "Girls," created by and starring Lena Dunham, is returning to HBO for a limited five-episode run. The show, which originally ran for six seasons from 2012 to 2017, was an iconic and controversial cornerstone of culture that invited near-constant discourse, as much as acclaim. "I've missed these characters, but for a long time I couldn't quite picture them in the present day," Dunham was quoted as saying in a news release by HBO. "Then, right around my fortieth birthday, they started talking to me in the shower." Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet and Andrew Rannells, who made up the cast of confused and chaotic New York-dwelling twenty-somethings in the original show, are all returning for the revival. Production is set to start in 2027 CNN and HBO share the same parent company, Skydance. 📷: HBO
