Recasting ‘Girls’ With Latinas!

There’s no doubt about it. People either love or hate Girls. The Lena Dunham-created HBO comedy revolving around the lives of four 20-something women orbiting each other in Brooklyn has received various criticisms of racism, elitism, and even hipsterism. Thing is, the cast of girls of Girls aren’t meant to represent all women in NYC, but here at Latina, we wanted to relate a little more to them. In anticipation of Girls’ second season, which premieres Sunday on HBO, we picked an all-Latina cast.

Aubrey Plaza as Hannah
The Parks and Recreation star’s deadpan-style of comedy would mesh well with Hannah’s awkward approach to life. We’re not sure how long Plaza could hang with Hannah’s body-conscious now ex-boyfriend Adam (Adam Driver), but we could totally see the quirky Puerto Rican actress fitting right into Hannah’s offbeat barista-slash-writer lifestyle.
