HBO at the TCAs: Girls renewed for fourth season before its third season even debuts
The third season doesn’t debut until Sunday, but HBO announced at the session for the show at the Television Critics Association winter press tour that it has already renewed Girls for a fourth season, which will film in the summer and air in 2015. The show has never been the most-viewed series in the HBO firmament—though the network has dropped hints that it’s very well viewed on HBO Go, where its younger audience may be more likely to consume it at its own pace (probably while leeching off their parents’ account, perhaps)—but it’s always done very well for the network in the places it cares about most: in the media and at awards shows. The series landed on numerous magazine covers in advance of its second season, and it won two Golden Globes for its first season, as well as several Emmy nominations throughout its run. HBO didn’t announce how many episodes the fourth season order was for.
