Lena Dunham on ‘Ladies’ reboot
Lena Dunham isn’t closing the door on Ladies—she’s simply suggesting all of us take a really, very lengthy espresso break earlier than cracking it open once more.
In a current episode of The Rushfield Lunch, the 38-year-old creator, author, and star of HBO’s Emmy-winning sequence shared her ideas on a possible reboot.
“We haven’t had a conversation about a reunion only because we always said when the show ended that if we were going to go back, it would have to be at such a different phase in their lives,” Lena stated.
“Let’s check in when they’re 60.”
That’s proper—Ladies, however with orthopedic sneakers, studying glasses, and perhaps a gaggle textual content that nobody can work out learn how to mute.
“Let’s check in when they’re not at Sex and the City age, they’ve taken even another leap,” she added.
“Part of the goal of the show was always to lean into what was unexpected, so we want to be unexpected if we come together again.”
Whereas followers could also be desperate to revisit the chaotic, emotionally turbulent world of Hannah, Marnie, Shoshanna, and Jessa, Dunham made it clear that the millennial messiness that outlined their twenties simply wouldn’t land the identical manner in as we speak’s world.
“I feel like in a world after Me Too,” Lena stated, “in a world after the summer of 2020 uprisings and the conversation that existed in America around race, the conversations that are happening around gender, that so much of the confusion and ignorance that the characters exhibited—which was a part of their story—would be almost impossible for people who lived in Brooklyn and were plugged into the world to really exhibit.”
In different phrases, as we speak’s Hannah would possibly know her privilege earlier than tweeting about it. And perhaps even delete the tweet.
