- Lena Dunham admits that she’s been seriously considering writing *Girls* reunion movie and reuniting with Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet, and Allison Williams.

- "It's impossible not to think about where they are now," the creator admits.

- The hit dramedy series debuted on HBO in 2012 and ran for six seasons.

If you've been calling for six season and a movie after *Girls* ended in 2017, Lena Dunham hears you, and she has some ideas.

The co-creator and star of the HBO series revealed that she's seriously considered reuniting with her costars in a *Girls *follow-up film. And, of course, she has ideas about how the the core ladies —including Jemima Kirke (Jessa), Zosia Mamet (Shoshanna), and Allison Williams (Marnie)— would be living in the world of 2026 politics.

"I have to say, I got a little plot line in my brain. I do," Dunham admitted to Andy Cohen during a visit to SiriusXM's *Radio Andy* Wednesday. "It's impossible not to think about where they are now."

She shared that the four stars and Andrew Rannells regularly share ideas in a group chat titled "Survivors of the Crackcident," and have even spitballed ideas for a potential plotline involving Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

"Jemima will pop in with like the best take on like, you know, Jess is really into RFK Jr. and you're like, 'Of course she is. Of course she is. She does not want anyone getting vaccines. She is pissed,'" Dunham revealed to the laughter of Cohen and the rest of the studio.

It's definitely befitting of the character, since she prided herself on existing outside traditional society and frequently self-medicates. The real question is what would the other ladies be doing? Would Marnie (Williams) get sucked into the tradwife trend on social media, and would Shoshanna (Mamet) even be in contact with the girls after distancing herself from the group?

And considering Jessa ended the series seemingly still in a relationship with Hannah's (Dunham) ex Adam (Adam Driver) — how would *he* feel about her feelings on RFK Jr.?

Speaking of Driver, when asked by Cohen if he fits into her ideas for the *Girls *film, Dunham's tone indicated that he might be a hard sell. "He is very selective. I think he's very selective," she said.

"We can see from his body of work, so maybe if we get Jim Jarmusch to direct?" she added, queuing another round of laughter in the studio.

Dunham has been promoting her new memoir, *Famesick*, in which she drops several major bombshell revelations about her hit dramedy series — and Driver. In the book, out now, Dunham claimed she witnessed several instances of violent behavior from Driver, and detailed a turbulent dynamic between her and the *Star Wars *franchise alum. Dunham even alleged that she and Driver nearly crossed an intimate boundary right before Driver got engaged to his now-wife, Joanne Tucker.

While Dunham thought that their working relationship or friendship might extend post-*Girls*, she wrote, "I never heard from him again."

She also recalled casting the three women who played the best friends of her character, Hannah. "[Producer Judd Apatow] has a savant-like ability to understand what combinations of people will yield a tense humor, and that bell rang when he saw a video of Allison Williams, a recent Yale grad, singing a mash-up of the *Mad Men* theme song"” she writes of casting Williams as the relatively straitlaced Marnie. "'This could be really funny,’ he said. 'Seeing you with someone so normal. After all, Hannah's weird. [Kirke's character ] Jessa's weird. You can't all be weird.'"

Dunham was childhood friends with Kirke, who she pitched to HBO for Jessa. "Jemima had something that can only be described using the incredibly irritating term je ne sais quoi, a fragile confidence, a restlessness rooted in knowing she would never be happy," she wrote.

Kirke was pregnant with her first child at the time and initially declined, but Dunham convinced her to shoot the pilot since they wouldn’t be filming season 1 until months after the baby was born.

Mamet rounded out the group as Shoshanna, who Dunham's then-collaborator Jenni Konner loved on *Mad Men*.

Dunham revealed that the fourth girl "was meant to stay with us for an episode or so, but Zosia Mamet brought so much unexpected pathos that she became, arguably, the most lovable member of our permanent quartet."
