Lena Dunhamis celebrating the 10-year anniversary of her HBO seriesGirls.
“By the time I wroteGirls, I had 24 years of experience with feeling both connected to and separated from, well, girls,” she wrote. “Many people saw the title of the show as a pronouncement that I was speaking for all the girls, that I fancied myself a microphone for half the population and, in the process, was grinding us down to one monolithic and unlikable soapstone. But this was actually my attempt to understand, perhaps even master, my relationships with girls, with women.”
Dunham created and executive producedGirls, which ran for six seasons between 2012 and 2017. The series followed aspiring writer Hannah Horvath (Dunham) and her three friends as they navigate their 20s in New York City.
Allison Williams,Zosia Mamet,Jemima Kirke,Andrew Rannells, Adam Driver and Alex Karpovsky also starred in the popular comedy-drama.
In anInstagram post, Dunham continued to express the lessons she learned from her time onGirls, as well as the way it shaped her adult life.
“There’s no insta wrap-up that can describe the magic and mayhem of this journey, or room enough in a caption to celebrate the people I made the show with (though a big fat thank you to my@hbofamily is the place to start,)” she captioned a series of photos of herself and the show’s leads,Adam Driver,Jemima Kirke,Zosia MametandAllison Williams.
“The audience is better equipped than I am to argue the finer points of what we did and didn’t do, so all I can say is: my life is too transformed to imagine a world without this having been my (admittedly singular) first grownup job.”

She continued to credit the series as her first break, which opened the doors to her current career.
Earlier this year, Dunham opened up about the possibility of rebooting the acclaimed HBO hit.
“We all recognize it’s not time yet,” she toldThe Hollywood Reporter. “I want it to be at a moment when the characters' lives have really changed.”
All six seasons ofGirlsare available to stream on HBO Max.
