Adam Driver Says He Won’t Return for the ‘Girls’ Revival
Adam Driver will not return for HBO’s ‘Girls’ revival, saying he wishes the team the best of luck.
He played Adam Sackler, the on-and-off boyfriend of Lena Dunham’s character, Hannah, in the original series.
The revival is planned as a five-episode run, following the show’s six seasons, which aired from 2012 to 2017.
Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet and Andrew Rannells are confirmed to return.
Production is scheduled to begin in 2027, but the sources do not give a release date.
The revival will continue the story of a show about Hannah and her friends navigating life in New York, though it will not include Driver’s character.
