Lena Dunham is "in" for a Girls spinoff in "the right context"

She told the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast: "I love Shoshanna. I am on record as saying she is my favourite girl...

"I think Shoshanna is going places. So if there was like the right context for us to do it, I'd be f****** thrilled.

"And also to do anything with her...we've all just kicked around jokingly where they would be now.

"She'd be so brilliant at revisiting it, and I just miss it and I miss her."

Lena - who added that she would be "in" for a potential spinoff - recently pondered where the characters would be now, almost a decade later.

She told Variety: "Shoshanna was married to, then divorced from, the mayor of New York City, and she runs an athleisure startup that's zero-waste.

"Marnie (Allison Williams) - it's third marriage. She still sings, but I think Marnie really needs to take it to sex and love addicts anonymous.

"Jessa (Jemima Kirke) is unvaccinated and lives on a boat in Croatia. Adam (Adam Driver) is a cult theater actor, and he's probably living in Berlin, and Ray (Alex Karpovsky) is still on city council and running his coffee shop and doing better than anyone.

"Elijah (Andrew Rannells) is the fourth lead on a sitcom, making a good amount of money and still looking for love in all the wrong places."

Lena's comments about a potential Shoshanna spinoff come a few months after Zosia, 37, admitted she was hoping to convince the Girls creator to do something with her alter ego.

During her own appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast earlier this year, she said: "I'm trying to get Lena to write a Shosh spinoff.

"I've been, like, slowly working on her. We'll see. She seems receptive."

The stage was already set for a spin-off in the penultimate episode of Girls in 2017, when Shoshanna got engaged to a man who Lena's character Hannah - and the viewers - hadn't even heard of.

Lena told The Hollywood Reporter at the time: "We love Zosia, and we want her acting all of the time.

"But it has felt like she was going to be the character who made the breakaway first, and we needed to explain what had happened to her during that time."
