Lena Dunham, along with her three Girls co-stars Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet, will be heading to Springfield to star in The Simpsons season 27 premiere.
The episode, entitled ‘Every Man’s Dream’, sees Homer become romantically involved with a young twenty-something year-old pharmacist named Candace, voiced by Dunham, after Marge files for divorce. Williams, Kirke and Mamet will be playing minor roles as Candace’s disapproving friends.
"We're having a Girls reunion, even though Girls is still on the air", Simpson’s executive producer Al Jean told Entertainment Weekly. “[Candace’s friends are] asking her the question that anybody normally would: ‘Why Homer?’, fulfilling the role that Patty and Selma have played on the show all these years.”
Along with the Girls stars, the episode will feature guest star Laura Ingraham, an American radio talk show host, who will be playing Homer and Marge’s therapist.
The episode is set to air September 27 later this year.
