In press releases given out to the media ahead of the panels, HBO announced that “Game of Thrones” season 2 (which will again be 10 episodes) would debut Sunday, April 1 at 9 p.m. “Girls,” a comedy about 20something women in Brooklyn which Dunham (“Tiny Furniture”) wrote, directed and starred in (and produced along with Judd Apatow), kicks off its 10-episode first season Sunday, April 15 at 10:30 p.m. “Veep,” in which Louis-Dreyfus plays the Vice-President of the United States, begins its eight-episode first season Sunday, April 22 at 10 p.m.
One returning HBO show, and two new ones, all coming in April. Girls sounds intriguing, and hopefully will be more Bridesmaids than Sex in the City. I never got into Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ last show The New Adventures of Old Christine, but I at least need to give this one a chance.
