Actress Allison Williams is playing coy about the possibility of a “Girls” reunion weeks after her co-star Lena Dunham made accusations against Adam Driver in her new memoir, “Famesick.” The showrunner, director, and star alleged that the “Star Wars” actor screamed in her face, threw a chair at the wall when she forgot her lines, and once even punched a hole in the wall of his trailer. Although Driver had “no comment” when questioned at the Cannes Film Festival, Dunham admitted in her tell-all book that she hasn’t spoken to the actor since “Girls” wrapped. The HBO comedy ran from 2012 to 2017.
Allison Williams reunited with her father, Brian Williams, on an episode of his podcast, “We’re Back! With Brian Williams!” In a clip exclusively shared with PEOPLE magazine ahead of the episode’s official release, Brian asks his daughter, “Are we going to see the ‘Girls’ get together?”
“Oh my God, I would love that. The answer is, I hope so,” Allison replied. “I will be there if they call. I’m absolutely there.”
The series followed Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham), Marnie Michaels (Williams), Jessa Johansson (Jemima Kirke), and Shoshanna Shapiro (Zosia Mamet) as they navigated their lives in New York City. Adam Driver portrayed Adam Sackler on the series. Although he was first a love interest for Dunham’s Hannah, he ended up with Jessa on the series finale.
Williams Teases That A ‘Girls’ Reunion Is ‘More Likely’ Now
Williams went on to say that it’s “more likely” that a “Girls” reunion would happen now, given that the characters are much older than they were in the initial series.
“It gets more and more likely that every year that goes by, because it would become more and more interesting to check in with everybody, as I’ve, this year, turned 40. Lena just turned 40,” she explained. “We’re in a new stage of life. I would be just so curious to catch up with everybody. It would be so fun to get the gang back together.”
When pressed by her father, Williams admitted, “You know things that you are not supposed to know,” and then doubled down, saying, “I’m not telling you anything. I’m not saying a word.”
This Isn’t The First Time Allison Williams Talked About ‘Girls’
She briefly discussed the feud between Adam Driver and Lena Dunham with Variety earlier this year, claiming that she “can’t say anything” about the accusations. Despite that, she admitted she has a “lifelong bond” with Dunham and that the two “love each other.”
Proior to that, in a January 2023 interview with The Guardian, Williams admitted that it would be much more difficult to create “Girls” today.
“I was thinking recently, if I was cast on Girls now, what would the experience be for me and I think it would be much more stressful,” she admitted. “I didn’t know anything else.”
“I was 22 when I was cast on the show, I was 23 when it came out. We were so young and it was loud in the way of watercooler and thinkpieces and Gawker was, like, obsessed with us and it was the heyday of that kind of thing but I didn’t have any sense of how to calibrate how big any of it really was,” she continued.
Williams Compares Lena Dunham’s Writing To Taylor Swift
She went on to compare Lena Dunham’s writing with pop star Taylor Swift. Interestingly enough, the two are close friends. Dunham appeared in the singer’s “Bad Blood” music video in 2014. More recently, Swift made an appearance at Dunham’s 40th birthday dinner in NYC.
“It was really also diminishing of our skill,” Williams told the Guardian at the time. “I saw that Taylor Swift was giving an interview recently where she said that people were treating her music like it was a trick, like there wasn’t skill involved. And as one of the great living songwriters, I don’t know how that is possible, but I do know that is how it also felt, probably for Lena, that people thought it was just some accident that she was writing these episodes or something.”
Adam Driver Is ‘Saving It All For My Book’
At the Cannes Film Festival, Driver was asked about the allegations that Dunham made about him in her memoir. He joked, “I have no comment on any of that,” before adding, “I’m saving it all for my book.”
In one section of her book, she alleged that he was “verbally aggressive” towards her and “hurled a chair at the wall” next to her when she forgot her lines.
“Late one night, as we practiced lines in my trailer, I found that mine were suddenly gone. I knew I’d written them. I’d known them only minutes before,” she wrote. “But when I opened my mouth, all that came out was a stammer — until finally, Adam screamed, ‘F-CKING SAY SOMETHING’ and hurled a chair at the wall next to me. ‘WAKE THE F-CK UP,’ he told me. ‘I’M SICK OF WATCHING YOU JUST STARE.’”
She also alleged that they once almost crossed a boundary in their relationship before Driver proposed to his wife, Joanne Tucker.
