Dunham, who created, wrote and starred in the beloved comedy-drama, recounted Driver’s alleged temper on set of the show in her 2026 memoir Famesick, and further alleged that he threw a chair at a wall near her.
“At the time, I didn’t have the skill to … it never entered my mind to say, ‘I am your boss, you can’t speak to me this way,’” Dunham said in an April interview with The Guardian about the actor. “And, at that point in my 20s, I still thought that’s what great male geniuses do: eviscerate you. Which is weird, because I was raised by a male genius who would never do that.”
Dunham will executive produce the Girls reboot with Judd Apatow (who was an EP on the original) and Ilene S. Landress and Michael P. Cohen of Good Thing Going. Williams, Kirke, Mamet and Rannells are co-EPs. Production begins in 2027.
