Just ahead of the Season 5 premiere of HBO’s Girls next month, it’s reported the show will end after its sixth season. The network has not confirmed the rumors.
The rumors don’t come as too much of a surprise, considering creator and star Lena Dunham’s previous comments about wrapping up the show.
“We're starting to think about sort of how to wrap up the storylines of these particular young women," she told Elvis Duran on his radio show last September, E! Online reports.
"It's really exciting. I started working on this show when I was 23, and I'm going to be 30 so it kind of feels right that this show kind of sandwiched my 20s and then I go off into the world."
The fifth season of Girls, which also stars Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet, will pick up at the time jump we saw at the conclusion of Season 4, showing all the girls at different places in their lives.
“It’s always been important to us that we know and understand when it’s time to wrap it up,” Dunham added. “It is about a very specific time in life and we don’t want to push past that or overextend it. We’re going to feel it out.”
Girls starts up again on Feb. 21 on HBO.
