Continuing, Apatow hinted that the show’s new episodes will be even more provocative. He added: “And the second season is amazing. I really think the second season just ups the ante on the whole thing. It’s going to be a wild ride, seeing how people react to it.”

Alongside Dunham’s Hannah and her friends Jessa, Marnie and Shoshanna, season two will feature guest appearances from Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino and Insidious star Patrick Wilson. Chris O’Dowd is set to reprise his recurring role as Thomas-John, Jessa’s husband.

Meanwhile, season one of Girls has just been nominated for a pair of Golden Globe awards: best TV series – comedy or musical, and best performance by an actress in a TV series – comedy or musical for Dunham.
