In the years since Girls wrapped, show co-creator and star Lena Dunham kept in touch with the cast to varying degrees. "I, in the book, really share that there were a lot of magical moments," Dunham said on the Today show in April 2026, referring to her Famesick memoir. "Our entire cast has a sort of bond that I don't think can ever be broken." Dunham created Girls in her early 20s alongside former collaborator Jenni Konner about four women's lives in New York City.
