Good news for people who like bad news, it would seem that the end is nigh for Girls. The hit HBO series looks likely to wrap up for good at the conclusion of the as-yet unannounced sixth season.
“I would say season five — I’m hoping, will really inform how much further we want to go. Once we figure out what season five is, we’ll know whether it’s another year.”
“Maybe it’s just one more year, maybe we wrap it up in six. It all depends. But also we’re not in the business of running it into the ground. We would like to end in a graceful place. And we’d like to tell a complete story. What that means is that we really have to start building towards an end soon, creatively.”
Girls was a major cornerstone in HBO’s development of a block of niche, critically acclaimed comedy, and took Lena Dunham from an indie-filmmaker into a household name.
