HBO renews Comedy Girls for Season 5 (Topic)

A few days before the premiere of the fourth season of the comedy "Girls", HBO officially renewed the series for a fifth season. Channel President Michael Lombardo announced the news on Monday night, January 5, 2015, during a special screening of the season four premiere held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. This is reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

The news, by and large, did not come as a surprise, since the comedy, created by Lena Dunham with her in the lead role, has been a cornerstone among the original script TV projects for three years. The renewal of the show for the next season is similar to last year, when the production of the fourth season of "Girls" was ordered a few days before the premiere of the third.

"Girls" are regular nominees for various prestigious television awards such as Emmy. In 2013, the series won two Golden Globes for Best Series - Comedy or Musical and Best Actress in a Series - Comedy or Musical (Lena Dunham). Despite modest ratings on the show's airing day, DVR views are high.

The show is executive produced by Judd Apatow and Jennifer Conner, who shares the showrunner role with Dunham.

Season 4 of the comedy kicks off on HBO on January 11, 2015.
