Just ahead of its Season 5 premiere, HBO hit series "Girls" has been confirmed for a sixth season, which will also be the final season for the show.

According to Deadline, the cultural phenomenon from writer and creator Lena Dunham was an instant hit with fans, and the show has gone on to earn loads of critical acclaim.

Dunham, who is also the star of the series, has made no secret of her intentions for the show. She previously said she thought the show was good for about six seasons, and it seems that the network and producers of the show have agreed with her. HBO, Dunham and executive producer Judd Apatow all mutually agreed on the timing for the series' end. 

The conclusion seems fitting for the show, which in its brightest moments did not pander to expectations. The show countered scripted norms by choosing to follow the protagonists around in their daily lives, as they met the challenges and roadblocks that life had laid out for them. 

The series is also set apart from other TV shows and films in the genre with similar themes by its unflinching stance. Dunham has refused to hold back or edit out material, depicting the daily lives of her female stars, even if that means onscreen nudity and intense mature content.

Dunham herself has never been shy to bare all for the camera. The creator modeled the series after her own life and seems to have really put her private existence on display. Beyond narrative details, the show often mirrors and champions her modern female point of view in general.

Although it was never a big ratings draw, "Girls" did carve out a consistent corner of the market and instantly drew a cult following.

Season 5 of the show will premiere on HBO on Feb. 21.
