Adam Driver weighs in on returning for a ‘Girls’ revival

With excitement building around the recently announced revival of the HBO series “Girls,” many have wondered whether Adam Driver, who was a main cast member for the show’s entire original run, would be returning with it. And now, we have our answer. In an interview with pop culture website CinemaBlend, Driver had one response when asked whether there’s a chance he’d return to the show. “Nope,” Driver told the outlet. “But I wish them the best.” Driver did not return TODAY.com’s request for comment. Driver appeared on the show’s six seasons from 2012 to 2017 as Adam Sackler, the on again, off again love interest of Hannah Horvath played by Lena Dunham. When the reboot was announced in October, Driver’s name did not appear in the press release. However, several other familiar faces were confirmed to return, including Dunham, along with Allison Williams (who played Marnie Michaels), Zosia Mamet (who played Shoshanna Shapiro) and Jemima Kirke (who portrayed Jessa Johansson). The five-episode revival will be set 10 years after the events in the Season 6 finale, the press release said. And production is slated to begin next year. Dunham, who’s also the show’s creator, opened up about her volatile relationship with Driver in her 2026 memoir “Famesick.” In it, she described the actor as an aggressive, moody artist, alleging that he would “spit and throw things” at her on set. At one point, Dunham alleged, he had thrown a chair at her when she forgot her lines. However, Dunham also alleged that the two shared an “intensity” between them, nearly “crossing a boundary” together one weekend when Driver’s then-girlfriend — and now wife — Joanne Tucker, was out of town. “I spent an inordinate amount of time wondering if Adam liked me. He could be short-tempered and verbally aggressive, condescending and physically imposing,” she wrote. “He could also be protective, loving even.” Dunham wrote in the memoir that she hasn’t spoken to Driver since the show wrapped. While promoting his crime-drama film “Paper Tiger” at Cannes, Driver responded to Dunham’s allegations with a quip. “I have no comment on any of that,” Driver said at the time. “I’m saving it all for my book.”
