thumbnail TVLine Items: Lena Dunham Announces Girls Renewal, S.H.I.E.L.D. Tackles Social Media & More

HBO has yet to officially announce a Girls renewal — but that’s not stopping Lena Dunham.

During an appearance this week on Alec Baldwin’s Here’s The Thing podcast, the Golden Globe-winning writer/actress revealed that production on Season 3 of the comedy is “starting at the end of March. I'm so excited.”

Even better, Baldwin may have used Dunham’s pick-up news to land his first post-30 Rock gig. “I'll come and play your therapist,” he offered, to which she replied: “That would be the most fun thing in the world.”

Jack Donaghy, a shrink? We likey.
