Lena Dunham’s hit series Girls returns next year for its fifth — and likely penultimate — season of awkward adventures featuring Hannah Horvath and her hipster friends, and this week HBO gave fans an early peek at what’s in store for the cast via a new trailer for the upcoming season.

After leaving a great many things uncertain at the end of the fourth season of the series, Girls appears to be diving into a long list of dangling plot threads when it returns to television. Among the elements being sorted out is one character’s move to Japan (Zosia Mamet’s Shoshanna), another character’s impending wedding (Allison Williams’ Marnie), and the continuing relationship drama for Hannah (Dunham). The trailer also features a brief appearance by Star Wars: The Force Awakens actor Adam Driver, who was a regular on the series since the first season before jumping into one of this year’s biggest movies.

Created by and starring Dunham, Girls has been nominated for and won multiple Primetime Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards, among other notable accolades. It also won the prestigious Peabody Award for excellence in 2012. Dunham serves as an executive producer on the series along with Judd Apatow.

Joining Dunham, Williams, Driver, and Mamet in the cast are Jemima Kirke as Jessica Johansson, Alex Karpovsky as Ray Ploshansky, Andrew Rannells as Elijah Krantz, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Desi Harperin, and Jake Lacy as Fran Parker. The fourth season of Girls concluded in March 2015, but the series was renewed earlier in the year for a fifth season. Dunham has indicated that she plans to end the series after its sixth season if it’s renewed for another season after next year’s run.

The fifth-season premiere of Girls will air Sunday, February 21, on HBO.

Humanity faces the Fall of Reach in new Halo season 2 trailer
Master Chief's reflection appears in his helmet in a scene from Halo season 2.

One of the most common complaints about the first season of Paramount+'s Halo is that it didn't feel enough like the hit video game series that spawned a franchise. Thankfully, the new trailer for Halo season 2 seems to be addressing that by filling the screen with epic sci-fi combat that even extends into space. It also appears that the show has reached a pivotal moment in the history of the Halo universe: The Fall of Reach. Within the games and the show, Reach is the name of a human colony in the 26th century, and its devastation was one of humanity's darkest hours. That's why Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 (Pablo Schreiber) is going to light the way for mankind's survival.

It's not uncommon for directors to lose a step late in their careers. But George Miller seems to be a rare exception. Miller's first feature-length film was actually the first Mad Max in 1979, and he revitalized his career in 2015 with the widely acclaimed sequel, Mad Max: Fury Road. Now, Fury Road is finally getting its prequel spinoff, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. And if the first trailer is any indication, Miller's still got his signature touch at 78 years old.

Marvel is heading back into the multiverse just in time for the holidays in What If...? season 2. In the new trailer for the Disney+ series, Marvel revealed that a new episode from season 2 will debut for nine consecutive days starting December 22, 2023.

The Watcher (Jeffrey Wright) narrates What If...? and guides audiences through alternate realities where major events in the MCU happened differently. For example, what if Peggy Carter, not Steve Rogers, were the First Avenger? What if T'Challa became Star-Lord and not the Black Panther? What if Thor were an only child? As The Watcher states in the trailer: "Things have gotten a little twisted in the multiverse."
