HBO kicks off 2015 with the debut of ‘Togetherness’ and the return of ‘Girls’ and ‘Looking’ /Premiere of ‘Gravity’
The three original comedy series will premiere in the Caribbean on January 11th,

Miami, FL – December 8, 2014 – HBO inaugurates its slate of original programming for 2015 with the premiere of the new original comedy series Togetherness, along with the return of the critically acclaimed comedies Girls, for its fourth season, and Looking, in its second season, on Sunday, January 11th, beginning at 22:00 hrs. AST* in the Caribbean, simultaneously with the United States.
Creator and writer Lena Dunham returns for the fourth season of Girls (22:00 hrs.), the Emmy®- and Golden Globe®-winning comedy series that follows the misadventures of a group of 20-something-year-old friends in and out of New York City. As the season begins, Hannah (Dunham) leaves New York to attend the prestigious Iowa Writers’ Workshop with the hopes of becoming a more serious writer, while facing uncertainty in her relationship with Adam (Adam Driver). Meanwhile, back in New York, Marnie (Allison Williams) pursues a music career while balancing her professional and romantic relationship with Desi (Ebon Moss-Bachrach); Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) graduates and begins interviewing for jobs, while sorting out her relationship with Ray (Alex Karpovsky); and Jessa (Jemima Kirke) attempts to control her addiction through Alcoholics Anonymous, though her ability to stir up drama remains undiminished. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, this season’s 10 episodes offer up some unexpected twists as the girls continue to hunt for success – creatively, professionally and romantically.
Girls is executive produced by Lena Dunham, Judd Apatow, Jenni Konner, Ilene S. Landress (HBO’s Mildred Pierce), Bruce Eric Kaplan (HBO’s Six Feet Under), Murray Miller (HBO’s Williams-Poole: 7 Days in Hell) and Paul Simms.
Guest stars include Peter Gallagher as Larry, a movie producer; John Ortiz as David, a divorced dad campaigning for a charter school; and Mary Steenburgen as Linda, a free spirit who takes an interest in helping Brett come out of his shell.
Togetherness is executive produced by Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass; co-executive produced, by Stephanie Langhoff; with consulting producers Amanda Lasher, Caroline Williams and Steve Zissis, and line producer Carolyn Craddock.
In addition to Franzese and Bakula, recurring guests include Bashir Salahuddin (Malik) and Andrew Law (Owen). Created by Michael Lannan; executive produced by Andrew Haigh and Sarah Condon (HBO’s Bored to Death); co-executive produced by John Hoffman and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa; with producer Kat Landsberg and consulting producer Jhoni Marchinko.
