When does Girls return?

Lena Dunham created Girls with the intention of offering a more realistic and nuanced portrayal of the lives of young women in their twenties. The show's premise was drawn from Dunham's own life, as were major aspects of the main character, including financial isolation from her parents, becoming a writer, and making unfortunate decisions. The first season of Girls was filmed between April and August 2011. The series premiered on HBO on April 15, 2012 and ran for six seasons until April 16, 2017.
