TV Trailers: ‘Girls’ Final Season & ‘The Good Wife’ Spinoff ‘The Good Fight’
After over four and a half of years on HBO,Girlswill soon come to an end. And coming around the same timeLena Dunham’s acclaimed dramedy series wraps up is the debut ofThe Good Fight, a spinoff of the hit CBS' seriesTheGood Wife. So early next year, we’ll see end of one popular show and perhaps the beginning of another.
Below, watch theGirlsfinal season trailer andThe Good Fightteaser.
Hannah (Dunham), Marnie (Alison Williams), Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet), Jessa (Jemima Kirke), Hannah’s ex-boyfriend Adam (Adam Driver), and more return for the sixth and final season ofGirls. Season five ended with some of the characters drifting apart; Jessa had started to see Adam, which created tension between her and Hannah.
TheGirlsfinal season trailer focuses quite a bit on their relationship:
Dunham toldThe Hollywood Reporterabout her decision to end the show, explaining she didn’t want it to overstay its welcome. More importantly, she felt the story she set out to tell was nearing the end. If she decided to make more seasons ofGirls, “it wouldn’t be about what it was originally about,” she said, going on to add:
It is about this really incredibly specific period in these women’s lives. Just on a personal level, I was 23 when I wrote the pilot; I’m gonna be 30 as we shoot the sixth season. And it just felt as though, if we were to continue on, it wouldn’t be about what it was originally about. It would be the equivalent of moving them to California, only California is them getting married and having kids and stuff like that. It just feels like at this point, it makes sense for us to wrap their stories up.
Maybe don’t hold your breath for aGirlsspinoff. UnlikeThe Good Wife, which is launchingThe Good Fight. It includes returning characters such as Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski), David Lee (Zach Grenier), and many others. The show is set one year after the divisiveGood Wifeseries finale, and it follows a young lawyer, Maia Rindell (Rose Leslie), trying to piece her life back together after a financial scam shattered her reputation.
Here’sThe Good Fightteaser:
As stated by the trailer,The Good Fightwill be made available on CBS All Access, which costs $5.99 a month.
