Back in October, we reported that thefinal episodeforGirlswrapped, asLena Dunhamissued a heartfelt statement about the show through social media.
“I know I’m not alone in theGirls familywhen I say this is the end of the largest and most potent chapter of my life so far. BeforeGirlsI had zero identity, zero self-love and an urgent sense of untapped creative desire that kept me up and sweating at night in other people’s beds, wondering why vague sexual affirmation wasn’t enough to make me feel human. I had hardly an inkling of the responsibility we take on when we tell stories, or of the power words can have, but what I had- as an obsessed fan of shows fromGirlfriendstoFelicitytoAlly McBeal- was the audacity to think that people might want to see women like my friends and me (broken, imperfect, angry) on television. When we shot our pilot six years ago, I never dreamed that I could be so fulfilled by the process of art-making, of collaboration, of honest expression. And so through this show I developed an identity, gained a new kind of family and began my life in earnest. It’s an embarrassment of riches. There are too many essential personnel to name here, and the messages I have for them are far too intimate for this modern venue, but I trust I’ve made it clear who you are and what you mean to me. If I haven’t, please feel free to demand explanations.”
Girlsnot only launchedLena Dunham’s career, but also the careers of her fellow cast members, includingAdam Driver, who has had a meteoric rise through the Hollywood ranks since joining the show. BeforeGirls,Adam Driver’s biggest role was playing Walter Lyle in the 2011 biopicJ. Edgar, alongsideLeonardo DiCaprio. He has gone on to star in a number of hit indies such asFrances HaandInside Llewyn Davis, before playing the nefarious Kylo Ren in last year’s global blockbusterStar Wars: The Force Awakens. He will return as Kylo Ren in next year’sStar Wars: Episode VIIIas well.
Allison Williams, the daughter of news anchorBrian Williams, has also found success beyondGirlsas well, starring in NBC’s live musicalPeter Panas the title character. We’ll have to wait and see what the rest of the cast will move on to star in after the finalGirlsepisode airs at some point next year. While we wait for more on the final season, take a look at the new video below.
