Lena Dunham hints at ‘Girls’ spinoff
Lena Dunham sat down for an interview where she discussed the possibility of a 'Girls' spinoff
Lena Dunham sat down for an interview on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast where she discussed the possibility of a Girls spinoff.
On the character, Shoshanna Shapiro, she said, “I love Shoshanna. I am on record as saying she is my favorite girl… I think Shoshanna is going places.”
Played by her former costar, Zosia Mamet, she added, “So if there was like the right context for us to do it, I'd be f******* thrilled. And also to do anything with her…we've all just kicked around jokingly where they would be now. She’d be so brilliant at revisiting it, and I just miss it and I miss her.”
Reflecting on where the characters would be now, the director said to Variety, “Shoshanna was married to, then divorced from, the mayor of New York City, and she runs an athleisure startup that’s zero-waste. Marnie (Allison Williams) — it’s third marriage. She still sings, but I think Marnie really needs to take it to sex and love addicts anonymous.”
She continued, “Jessa (Jemima Kirke) is unvaccinated and lives on a boat in Croatia. Adam (Adam Driver) is a cult theater actor, and he’s probably living in Berlin, and Ray (Alex Karpovsky) is still on city council and running his coffee shop and doing better than anyone. Elijah (Andrew Rannells) is the fourth lead on a sitcom, making a good amount of money and still looking for love in all the wrong places.”
