Lena Dunham Reveals Futures of ‘Girls’ Characters 2025

Lena Dunham recently shared her imaginative updates on the adult lives of the beloved characters from her HBO series Girls, which ended in 2017 but has seen a resurgence among Gen Z viewers on streaming platforms. She envisions Hannah Horvath as a teacher at Bard College, embracing motherhood with a girlfriend who is a chef and less obsessed with fame. Shoshanna is described as a zero-waste athleisure startup founder and recently divorced from the mayor of New York City, while Marnie is on her third marriage and struggles with issues that might lead her to sex and love addiction support groups. Jessa lives unvaccinated on a boat in Croatia, Adam has become a cult theater actor living in Berlin, Ray is thriving as a city council member and coffee shop owner, and Elijah is a sitcom's fourth lead still searching for love. Dunham also expressed openness to a potential Girls revival if a meaningful and specific story emerges, such as the characters navigating motherhood, menopause, or aging, but currently, no such project is underway.
