By Sam Rigby
Lena Dunham’s Girls has been renewed for a fifth season.
The comedy – which stars Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet – will return with new episodes in early 2016.
The renewal comes just days before the premiere of the show’s fourth run, which sees Hannah (Dunham) leaving Brooklyn behind to study at a writers’ workshop in Iowa.
A trailer for the new episodes also teased a rivalry between Hannah and Jessa (Kirke) for Adam’s (Adam Driver) affection – watch the preview here.
Zachary Quinto has been confirmed to guest star in the upcoming season – read more here.
Girls season four begins Sunday (January 11) on HBO in the US, and Monday (January 12) on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
