Hannah, played by the show’s creator/director Lena Dunham, has officially moved to Iowa, where she’s honing her creative writing skills (maybe), riding a bike and even eating grapes as a _snack_. Meanwhile, back in Brooklyn, her friends are, of course, getting into shenanigans of their own. The trailer, which features the song “I Believe” by Nico Vega, is only a minute and a half long — just enough to give us a brief taste of what’s to come. “To Hannah, taking the next step in a series of random steps,” Adam toasts, at what appears to be a farewell dinner with Hannah’s parents. Hannah, however, says she’s confident she made the right choice. Dunham, who’s typically vocal on social media, has been on a Twitter hiatus in light of a recent controversy surrounding sexual abuse claims in her memoir, _Not That Kind of Girl._ Dunham [issued a statement ](http://time.com/3556513/lena-dunham-sexual-abuse-controversy/ "undefined")exclusively to TIME, where she apologized “if the situations described in my book have been painful or triggering for people to read.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3572599/lena-dunham-girls-season-4-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3572599/lena-dunham-girls-season-4-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch the Girls Season 4 Official Trailer","datePublished":"2014-11-07T17:31:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:18:40.096Z","description":"Hannah embarks on a new journey in Iowa.
