After all, Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet will be reprising their roles in five-episode revival of the HBO show.

“And, as you may remember, once this fivesome starts talking it’s pretty hard to get them to stop,” Dunham continued. “It’s rare that you get the chance to return to something that changed your life with the gift of hindsight and a whole new level of gratitude and understanding.”
