Nearly 10 years after last playing Shoshanna Shapiro, Zosia Mamet was beginning to think a Girls revival wasn’t in the cards.
The actress, who starred in the Lena Dunham-created HBO comedy, admitted that she wasn’t sure the recently announced revival wouldn’t happen after the five-episode project had been in development “for a very long time.”
“I mean, it’s been in talks for a very long time,” she explained to Entertainment Tonight. “But I kind of gave up because we’ve been talking about it for so long, and I don’t trust anything until I’m actually on set.”
Mamet added, “Once they officially made an offer, it kind of came together pretty fast. So, I didn’t have to keep a secret for too long, which is good, because I’m not a good secret keeper.”
Last month, series creator and star Dunham was joined by Mamet and co-stars Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Andrew Rannells for a video announcing the HBO Original revival, which begins production in 2027.

Dunham created and starred in Girls as millennial writer Hannah Horvath, navigating her 20s in New York City. The show ran for six seasons from 2012 to 2017.
