HBO releases first glimpse of 'Girls' season 4

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- HBO has released the first promo for the upcoming season of its Lena Dunham-created series, Girls.

The teaser includes commentary from the show's protagonists and begins with Dunham stating that the fourth season of the series will find the "girls making smarter choices and realizing that life is still hard."

All four main characters are shown picking up where they left off in the previous season with Dunham's Hanna ready to start school at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, Allison Williams' Marnie still attempting to make it as a singer, Jemima Kirke's Jessa getting into trouble and Zosia Mamet's Shoshanna interacting with her parents for the first time on the show.

"I always sort of imagined that she came out of a seashell or a peapod or something," Mamet says in the clip.

There is still no date set for the show's fourth season premiere.
