Girls creator and star Lena Dunham seems determined to end the HBO show after its sixth season.

Dunham spoke earlier this year about how Girls‘ end could be nearing. Though she’s hesitant to say definitively that the sixth season will be its last, the writer and actress says that’s the plan for now.

“Never say never, but that is the way that we’re thinking about it right now and we’re starting to think about sort of how to wrap up the storylines of these particular young women,” Dunham said on the Elvis Duran and the Morning show Tuesday.

“I started working on this show when I was 23,” Dunham added. “And now I’m going to be 30 so it kind of feels right that this show kind of sandwiched my 20s and then I go off into the world!”

When Dunham weighed in on the show’s eventual end back in April, she revealed that they definitely had six seasons at HBO and that it might make sense to bow out at that point.

“I think America has a tendency to push shows past their due dates,” Dunham told Variety. “I like the British model — in and out.”

Girls’ fifth season will premiere on HBO this coming January.
