HBO announced Tuesday that the show, created by and starring Lena Dunham, will be returning for five episodes, with Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet reprising their roles as aspiring writer Hannah Horvath and her friends. Andrew Rannells, who played Elijah, will also be included in the limited revival, and Judd Apatow will return as executive producer. The comedy-drama, which aired from 2012 to 2017, gave a raw, unfiltered (and largely unglamorous) look at life as a 20-something in New York City. Body confidence, bad boyfriends and poor choices were key themes. The show received 29 Emmy Award nominations and won two, and was recently ranked the 13th-best TV show of the 21st century by the New York Times. HBO announced the show's return in a staged mock video call, with Dunham asking her costars if they wanted to take part.
