I am on record as saying she is my favourite girl\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think Shoshanna is going places. So if there was like the right context for us to do it, I&#8217;d be f****** thrilled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd also to do anything with her\u2026we&#8217;ve all just kicked around jokingly where they would be now.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;She\u2019d be so brilliant at revisiting it, and I just miss it and I miss her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nLena &#8211; who added that she would be &#8220;in&#8221; for a potential spinoff &#8211; recently pondered where the characters would be now, almost a decade later.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told Variety: &#8220;Shoshanna was married to, then divorced from, the mayor of New York City, and she runs an athleisure startup that\u2019s zero-waste.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cMarnie (Allison Williams) \u2014 it\u2019s third marriage. She still sings, but I think Marnie really needs to take it to sex and love addicts anonymous.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cJessa (Jemima Kirke) is unvaccinated and lives on a boat in Croatia. Adam (Adam Driver) is a cult theater actor, and he\u2019s probably living in Berlin, and Ray (Alex Karpovsky) is still on city council and running his coffee shop and doing better than anyone.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Elijah (Andrew Rannells) is the fourth lead on a sitcom, making a good amount of money and still looking for love in all the wrong places.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nLena&#8217;s comments about a potential Shoshanna spinoff come a few months after Zosia, 37, admitted she was hoping to convince the Girls creator to do something with her alter ego.<\/p>\n<p>\nDuring her own appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast earlier this year, she said: \u201cI\u2019m trying to get Lena to write a Shosh spinoff.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve been, like, slowly working on her. We\u2019ll see. She seems receptive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe stage was already set for a spin-off in the penultimate episode of Girls in 2017, when Shoshanna got engaged to a man who Lena&#8217;s character Hannah &#8211; and the viewers &#8211; hadn&#8217;t even heard of.<\/p>\n<p>\nLena told The Hollywood Reporter at the time: \u201cWe love Zosia, and we want her acting all of the time.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cBut it has felt like she was going to be the character who made the breakaway first, and we needed to explain what had happened to her during that time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/lena-dunham-girls-spinoff-focused-favourite-character-1421744.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 July 2025 Lena Dunham is &#8220;in&#8221; for a Girls spinoff in &#8220;the right context&#8221;.
