Is Allison Williams a scream queen? The 38-year-old actress has starred in many horror films throughout her career, such as 2017’s “Get Out” and 2018’s “The Perfection”, as well as 2022’s “M3GAN” and 2025’s “M3GAN 2.0.” That being said, some fans are looking forward to a return of “Girls.” Series creator, showrunner, and star Lena Dunham recently revealed that the popular HBO comedy would return for another five episodes to catch up with the popular characters years after the series finale.
Has Allison Williams Earned Her ‘Scream Queens’ Title?
Although she might be most famous for her role on “Girls,” Allison Williams has appeared in many different horror movies throughout her long career, such as 2017’s “Get Out” and 2018’s “The Perfection”, as well as 2022’s “M3GAN” and its 2025 sequel “M3GAN 2.0.”
“I wonder, because I really don’t do a lot of screaming, to be very literal about it,” Williams told PEOPLE magazine when asked if she’s earned the title. “So I don’t know if I’ve earned it.”
“In Get Out — I’m the horror. I’m the menace in that movie,” she added with a laugh. In Jordan Peele’s directorial debut, Williams plays the girlfriend of Daniel Kaluuya’s character.
Allison Williams Wants To Keep Appearing In Horror Films
Even though she has plenty of comedic roles under her belt, Williams revealed that she really likes starring in horror movies. “I love the genre. I think it’s so fun, and I hope I get to keep playing in movies that blend horror and other things,” she shared with the publication.
However, she admitted she’s “too scared to watch most things,” including the Emmy-winning Apple TV comedy series “Widow’s Bay,” which won big at the 2026 Emmy Awards.
“Widow’s Bay took weeks of working up the bravery to watch it, while everyone was like, ‘Allison, this show is not scary,’ and I was like, ‘Watch me watch it through a blanket,” Williams shared. “You don’t understand.’ Same with Obsession.”
Williams will next appear opposite Michelle Randolph and Simu Liu in “Homewrecker,” a science fiction survival thriller. She also has a role in “Tangled Up In Blue,” which tells the story of a talent manager who reunites with an ex.
Allison Williams Played Coy About A ‘Girls’ Revival
Allison Williams reunited with her father, Brian Williams, on an episode of his podcast, “We’re Back! With Brian Williams!” back in June, as reported by The Blast. Before Dunham announced the five-episode return, Brian asked his daughter if he would ever see the “Girls” back together on screen.
“Oh my God, I would love that. The answer is, I hope so,” Allison replied. “I will be there if they call. I’m absolutely there.”
Williams went on to say that it’s “more likely” that a “Girls” reunion would happen now, given how many years had passed.
“It gets more and more likely that every year that goes by, because it would become more and more interesting to check in with everybody, as I’ve, this year, turned 40. Lena just turned 40,” she explained. “We’re in a new stage of life.”
“I would be just so curious to catch up with everybody,” she added. “It would be so fun to get the gang back together.”

Who Will Return To The ‘Girls’ Revival?
Many fans are anxiously waiting for the return of “Girls,” even though production isn’t scheduled to begin until 2027. Dunham will return as Hannah, and Williams will reprise her role as Marnie. In addition, Jemima Kirke will portray Jessa, Zosia Mamet will return as Shoshanna, and Andrew Rannells will continue to portray Elijah.
The initial announcement made no mention of “Star Wars” alum Adam Driver, who has seemingly had a tumultuous relationship with the “Girls” creator. In her 2026 memoir, “Famesick,” she claimed that he punched a hole in his trailer, screamed in her face, and even threw a chair in her direction during a moment when she forgot her lines.
Lena Dunham Reveals The Last Time She Spoke To Adam Driver
As The Blast previously reported, Dunham’s tell-all book also addressed the last time she spoke to the “House of Gucci” actor. She claims they last spoke in the car after filming the final episode of “Girls,” which aired in April 2017.
In the book, Dunham said Driver “held my hand in silence” as they rode home, and that he and his wife, actress Joanne Tucker, lived “across the street” from her at the time. She claims that Driver kissed her cheek and forehead after he “took [Dunham] in his arms.”
After the turmoil she described in the book, she said that she hoped for a “different future” with the actor, who will appear in the X-Men reboot as the villainous Mister Sinister.
“Who knows—maybe I’d write him new parts,” she shared. “We would tell new stories. We would laugh at the way things had been, and smile at the way they were now.”
Unfortunately, she confessed, “I never heard from him again.”
