- HBO plans a five-episode series, with production starting next year.
- Dunham’s memoir described alleged aggressive behaviour during filming.

## Summary

Adam Driver says he will not return for HBO’s five-episode revival of *Girls*, ending speculation sparked by his absence from the cast announcement. His decision draws added attention because Lena Dunham’s recent memoir described alleged aggressive behaviour by Driver during the original series.

Driver, 42, played Hannah Horvath’s on-again, off-again boyfriend across the show’s six seasons, which ran from 2012 to 2017. Production on the revival is due to begin next year, with Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet and Andrew Rannells set to reprise their roles. Dunham wrote that Driver had been rude, screamed at her and damaged walls; Driver has not publicly addressed those specific claims, though he joked at a press conference that he was saving his response for a book.
