Zosia Mamet Thought Girls Revival Was Off

Zosia Mamet, known for her role as Shoshanna Shapiro, expressed skepticism about a potential revival of the HBO comedy series Girls. She admitted that the project had been in development for an extended period, leading her to believe it might not come to fruition.

Mamet revealed to Entertainment Tonight that she had "kind of gave up" on the revival due to the prolonged talks. She emphasized that she doesn't consider something real until she is "actually on set."

The actress shared that once a formal offer was extended, the revival "came together pretty fast." She humorously noted her relief at not having to keep the secret for too long, as she is "not a good secret keeper."

Last month, series creator Lena Dunham was joined by Mamet and co-stars Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, and Andrew Rannells to announce the upcoming revival. The HBO Original series is scheduled to begin production in 2027. The original Girls series, created by and starring Dunham as Hannah Horvath, aired for six seasons from 2012 to 2017, chronicling the lives of young women navigating their twenties in New York City.
