The first look at season 3 of Girls was like an Instagram flipbook, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the second glimpse of the new episodes comes courtesy of a selection of 10 GIFs on Buzzfeed. Yep this is an HBO marketing strategy and while it may come across as super gimmicky, it’s also pretty perfect for how Girls has embraced social media as a promotional tool.
So what do these 10 GIFs reveal about the new season? Not a huge amount, but there is some Adam smooching and considering how the last season ended this shouldn’t come as a shock. Whether Adam and Hannah will be able to make it work is another question and even though the rom-com like reunion didn’t exactly thrill me, having Adam back in the main story is definitely a bonus.
Hannah was incredibly isolated for most of last year as all of her relationships fell apart and these GIFs suggest that there will be a focus on the friend aspect. For me the reason why Girls resonates is because of how it explores post-college friendships and this got lost in season 2, these GIFs suggest that this aspect will be back.
There is a also a briefest of first looks at my favorite Daily Show correspondent Jessica Williams and an epic spit take, though I’m not entirely sure I agree with the heading of this one “Because you haven’t laughed like this since last season.” Yes there were funny moments, but it was definitely more tragicomedy for the most part. I haven’t put a Q-tip anywhere near my ear since THAT episode.
For more head over to Buzzfeed. Girls season 3 premieres Sunday, January 12 on HBO.
