" Judd Apatow and Lena Dunham&amp;#039;s acclaimed new US comedy series Girls will air in the UK on Sky Atlantic in September, it has been confirmed. Girls has been described as a &amp;quot;brilliant gem&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;like nothing else on TV&amp;quot; by US TV critics since it launched last month.  The show follows the &amp;quot;humiliations and rare triumphs&amp;quot; of four girls Hannah, Marnie, Jessa and Shoshanna, who all love in New York. Hannah, played by Lena Dunham, is described as a &amp;quot;mixture of self-entitlement and self-loathing&amp;quot; and is a wannabe writer. Allison Williams plays Marnie, Hannah&amp;#039;s roommate and best friend, who has a job and a serious boyfriend. Jemima Kirke is cast as Jess, &amp;quot;a live-and-let-live bohemian&amp;quot; who has lots of jobs and lots of boyfriends. Completing the main cast is Mad Men&amp;#039;s Zosia Mamet as Shoshanna, who is billed as &amp;quot;a NYU student obsessed with &amp;#039;women&amp;#039;s issues&amp;#039;, gluten-free foods and sexcentric self-help&amp;quot;. Dunham and Apatow co-wrote the series alongside Bruce Eric Kaplan (Six Feet Under) and Jenni Konner (Undeclared). "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
