Adam Driver Declines Girls Revival Return
7 Nov
Summary
- Adam Driver will not reprise his role as Adam Sackler.
- Girls is set for a five-episode limited series revival.
- Adam Driver remains tight-lipped on memoir's claims.
The cast of HBO's "Girls" is reuniting for a limited five-episode revival, but a key player will be absent. Adam Driver, who portrayed romantic lead Adam Sackler, has officially stated he will not be reprising his role for the upcoming production, set to begin filming in 2027. While Driver expressed his best wishes for the series, his decision marks a significant change from the show's original run.
Series creator and star Lena Dunham, alongside co-stars Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet, and Andrew Rannells, announced the revival last month. "Girls" originally aired for six seasons from 2012 to 2017, following the personal and professional lives of four young women in New York City. Dunham, reflecting on the show, noted that Adam's character was not initially intended as a romantic hero.
In related news, Driver recently declined to comment on allegations made by Dunham in her memoir. Dunham wrote that Driver was "verbally aggressive" during the filming of "Girls." When questioned about these claims at Cannes, Driver stated he was "saving it all for my book."
