Not that she wasn’t before. She is a Girl on Girls, tough. Okay let me start again- those eyes make us forget ourselves! As of today we can confirm that Felicity Jones (The Amazing Spiderman 2, Northanger Abbey) will be appearing in HBO’s GIRLS! Director Jesse Peretz announced the casting on twitter yesterday and The Wrap scooped it up:
Insanely happy to be directing the hilarious Richard E Grant and the luminous Felicity Jones today. #GIRLS

An HBO representative also confirmed that Richard E. Grant (“The Iron Lady,” “Gosford Park”) will make an appearance on the show for season 3.
Last day on @girlsHBO and grateful for the bounteous delights these young talents have bestowed upon my greying noggin here in New York!

Two Brits, eh Lena? Can’t say we blame you as both of them are wonderful. No word yet on which characters these two will be playing but since the departure of Charlie we’ve all been left wondering how the story will unfold. Though Lena did recently “comment” on that:
@Olif @iTunesTV @lenadunham I think Charlie went to Korea and switched identities with a deceased soldier named Don Draper. #askgirls

Har har, Ms. Dunham. Though a Mad Men / Girls crossover pilot might… oh nevermind.
We’ll update with an official announcement about a Girls Season 3 premiere date when we have it. Our best guess would be “Q1 2014” which would put it right about where it was last year and the year before. Though the need for a rewrite after Christopher Abbot abruptly left the series could be hamming up the premiere schedule. Hopefully we get to see our Girls sooner rather than later.
We’ll let you know when a season 3 air date is official.

Season 2 was great. Adding the luscious Felicity can only make the show better. And give “Adam” more to do.
I hope this is an improvement. I was really disappointed with season 2.
I’m dying for an official air date! I really can’t wait for Girls!
