Lena Dunham wouldn’t be where she is today if it wasn’t for Girls, and she still strongly feels the love of the show’s passionate fanbase. The Emmy-nominated actress reflected on the show’s enduring legacy in a recent interview and expressed gratitude to fans who still support it.
Girls ran on HBO for six seasons between 2012 and 2017 and starred Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, and Zosia Mamet as four millennial women trying to navigate their relationships, friendships, and careers during their 20s in New York City.
It’s been years since Girls ended its run, but its popularity isn’t fading away. Dunham reflected on its revival in a recent interview with Variety and said she’s grateful to everyone who’s making it happen.
“The fact that there’s anyone — I mean, people are still watching a show that came out before Instagram was invented?! What the heck? So to anyone who’s leading the revival: I see your TikTok mashups… I’m getting the love and it’s very felt and appreciated,” said Dunham.
After Girls ended its run in 2017, Dunham reunited with HBO for a short-lived comedy series Camping, starring Jennifer Garner and David Tennant. Her next show Too Much will be heading to Netflix, and it stars Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe in the lead roles.
