Axed: Girls to end with sixth season

HBO comedy Girls is set to end with its sixth season, according to US media reports.

Season 5 is due to premiere in late February, but officially a sixth season is as yet unannounced.

Creator and star Lena Dunham has repeatedly mentioned in interviews her desire to stop at a half-dozen series, recently saying, “Never say never, but that is the way we’re thinking about it right now and we’re starting to think about sort of how to wrap up the storylines of these particular young women.

“It’s really exciting. I started working on this show when I was 23, and I’m going to be 30 so it kind of feels right that this show kind of sandwiched my 20s and then I go off into the world.”

Updated: HBO confirms sixth and final season.

“Lena Dunham and her brilliant collaborators, including Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner, have given HBO a signature series of rare wit and intelligence,” said HBO’s Michael Lombardo. “They are exceptional talents, and I can’t wait to see what Lena, Jenni and Judd have in store for the final seasons of this unique show, and look forward to working with them on future projects.”
