Fans of Lena Dunham’s Girls TV series don’t have to worry about the show being cancelled anytime soon. HBO renewed the low-rated dramedy for a fifth season before the fourth season even began. Last year saw the ratings rise. Will they continue to go up or, will they fall? Stay tuned to find out.
Girls revolves around a group of twenty-somethings who live in Brooklyn and are figuring out how to make their way in the world. The series stars Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet, Adam Driver and Alex Karpovsky.

What do you think? Do you like the Girls TV series? Do you think it should have been renewed for a fifth season — or cancelled? How long should it stay on the air?
I didn’t discover this show until just recently, but I loved all four seasons. Looking forward to the fifth!
the Girls show lacks depth, only a few episodes are good, the ones that Judd Apatow wrote. He himself has said the show lacks good writing, its had its run, cancel it and make room for something more interesting. also it has poor quality lighting, shot in an apartment, I’ve seen some reality shows with better lighting. HBO should have better standards. I’ve seen so much better shows on HBO before. With this kind of programming, it is going down hill.
I think next season will likely be the last. I get the feeling that rising stars like Allison Williams and Adam Driver will want out soon to pursue their own projects or film careers.
