Zosia Mamet Says ‘Girls’ Revival Was “In Talks For A Very Long Time”: “I Kind Of Gave Up”

Zosia Mamet said she had begun to doubt that a revival of HBO’s Girls would happen after discussions continued for a long time. The five-episode project was recently announced, with Mamet and several original cast members set to return.

Mamet said things moved quickly once she received an official offer, and that she did not have to keep the news secret for long. Production is due to begin in 2027; the original series, created by Lena Dunham, ran for six seasons from 2012 to 2017.
