“Rita Wilson Confirms Return as Marnie’s Mom in Lena Dunham’s ‘Girls’ Revival” — what this page in the network covers. Rita Wilson is set to reprise her role as Evie Michaels, the eccentric mother of Allison Williams’ character Marnie, in the upcoming revival of HBO’s hit series “Girls.” Wilson told People she’s heard she’ll be back and added, “I would do anything for Lena,” referring to creator Lena Dunham. The revival was announced earlier this year, with Dunham returning as writer and executive producer alongside original cast members Williams, Jemima Kirke, and Zosia Mamet. Wilson’s Evie was a fan-favorite, known for her over-the-top personality and complicated relationship with Marnie.
Her return adds to the nostalgia factor for viewers who followed the original show’s six-season run from 2012 to 2017. The new installment is expected to explore the characters’ lives in their 30s, and Wilson’s involvement signals a commitment to preserving the show’s signature blend of humor and cringe.
