The second season of Girls continues to follow twenty-something Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) as she tries to establish herself as a writer in New York City, and navigates the arguably even more complicated reality of maintaining relationships with her friends Marnie (Allison Williams), Jessa (Jemima Kirke), and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet). Hannah's ex-boyfriend Adam (Adam Driver) continues to flit awkwardly in and out of her life, and her friends struggle alongside her to come to terms with their identities as independent young adults.
