Dunham said, "I would love to do it, and I have to say, I got a little plot line in my brain." "It's impossible not to think about where they are now.

Dunham added, "I just see them, and also, those are my muses. So, I think it's an obvious thing. We don't want to come back to the party too early. We want to be appropriately missed."
