HBO has announced a five-episode revival of Lena Dunham's Girls, more than a decade after the original series ended amid intense backlash over its depiction of sex, diversity and its creator. The announcement follows a resurgence in the show's popularity, with viewership reportedly doubling between November 2022 and January 2023 according to The New York Times, driven largely by younger viewers discovering it through memes, clips and podcasts like Girls Rewatch.
