This is not looking good for Adam Sackler fans.
Adam Driver recently confirmed that he will not be reprising his role in the upcoming “Girls” revival.
Speaking to CinemaBlend in an interview published Friday, the actor kept his response short and sweet when asked if he would return.
“No, but I wish them luck,” he told the outlet.
Driver, 42, starred as the recurring boyfriend of Lena Dunham’s character, Hannah Horvath, on the HBO comedy-drama series, which ran for six seasons from 2012 to 2017.
Last month, HBO announced that “Girls” would return for a limited five-episode revival, with production expected to begin next year.
Dunham, 40, is confirmed to return as Hannah, alongside Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet and Andrew Rannells, who will reprise their roles as Marnie, Jessa, Shoshanna and Elijah, respectively.
However, Driver was noticeably absent from the group’s announcement at the time, prompting questions from die-hard fans of the series.
The “Star Wars” actor’s decision not to participate in the revival comes seven months after the publication of Dunham’s memoir, “Famesick,” in which she detailed allegations of violent behavior on set involving her former co-star.
In her book, Dunham described Driver as “spectacularly rude” to her during filming.
She also alleged that he once threw a chair at the wall near her, punched a hole in the wall of her trailer, and frequently screamed in her face.
In an interview with the Guardian published to mark the memoir’s publication in April, Dunham said: “At the time I didn’t have the skills to… it never occurred to me to say, ‘I’m your boss, you can’t talk to me that way.’ »
Dunham not only starred in “Girls,” but also created the series, writing and directing several episodes.
“At that point, in my 20s, I still thought that’s what great male geniuses did: eviscerate you. Which is weird, because I was raised by a male genius who would never do that,” she added, referring to her father, the painter Carroll Dunham.
In contrast, Dunham also praised the “amazing men” in her life, including “Girls” executive producer Judd Apatow, whom she described as “a great hero of mine.”
Meanwhile, Driver appeared to evade questions about Dunham’s claims during a press conference for his film “Paper Tiger,” joking: “I have no comment on any of that. I’m saving all of that for my book.”
