While there is still no official third-season pickup for Lena Dunham‘s "Girls", she has confirmed the long-expected renewal of her HBO comedy series.

“We’re starting season three at the end of March,” she told Alec Baldwin on his podcast. “I’m so excited.”





HBO has been preparing for a third season of "Girls" for a couple of months. I hear it closed a new overall deal with executive producer Jenni Konner to return as co-showrunner alongside creator/star/executive producer Dunham and has been assembling a writing team, with Paul Simms expected to replace Bruce Eric Kaplan as co-executive producer as Kaplan is busy working on his HBO pilot.

According to Dunham, "Girls" is taking over the stage used by Baldwin’s departing "30 Rock" at Silvercup Studios.





On the same night it won Golden Globes for best comedy series and best comedy actress (Dunham) earlier this month, "Girls" opened its second season to 866,000 viewers, down slightly from its series premiere last year.

It's official: HBO has renewed "Girls" for a third season.

After weeks of the cast and executive producers spilling the beans early, the Golden Globe winner has been picked up for an expanded offering of 12 episodes.

Both executive producer Judd Apatow and creator and star Lena Dunham have recently discussed working on the third season for the show. Earlier this week Dunham mentioned a late March return to work in an interview with Alec Baldwin.
