Garner is teaming up with Lena Dunham (Girls) to star in a new HBO comedy titled Camping.

After ending her run as spy Sydney Bristow on Alias in 2006, Garner is set to star in the new 8-episode limited series based on the British series of the same name.

Garner will portray Kathryn, wife of Walt. The description is, “Walt’s 45th birthday was supposed to be a delightful weekend back to nature, at least according to his obsessively organized and aggressively controlling wife Kathryn. But when the camping trip gathers Kathryn’s meek sister, holier than thou ex-best friend and a free-spirited Tagalong in one place, it becomes a weekend of tested marriages and woman on woman crime that won’t soon be forgotten. Plus, bears.”

Jenni Konner will serve as executive producer alongside Dunham. The two have said that they can’t wait to work with Garner and see what she makes of this “messy, tough and provocative and really really fun” role.

“We love Jennifer’s restraint and comedic timing, and we can’t wait for the warmth and intelligence she’ll bring to our central character, Kathryn. It’s truly a dream to have her first on our call sheet. Now we just have to write her some stunts,” they said.

Since Girls aired its series finale in April, the two women were asked if it’s weird that for the first time in six years they weren’t getting ready to work on a new season of the show.

46-year-old Konner told reporters that “it has been weird and kind of hard to get out of bed, but Lenny helps us through that and we’re now working on a new show,” to which 31-year-old Dunham added, “we’re back in business.”

Dunham was pretty tight-lipped when it came the questions what should viewers expect of her new project. She did, however, tell reporters that even though she “can’t say anything right now… you’ll definitely see some more awkward situations and people showing their darker selves.”

Showrunner Ryan Murphy confirmed on Friday that the 31-year-old actress will portray Valerie Solanas, a radical feminist known for authoring the SCUM Manifesto, who attempted to assassinate Andy Warhol in the late 1960’s. Evan Peter will play Warhol, as well as other various cult leaders, such as Charles Manson, David Koresh and Jim Jones.

Dunham will appear in episode seven, titled, “Valerie Solanas Died for Your Sins: Scumbag.”

“It’s about female rage and that’s in the country now. Solanas wrote the SCUM Manifesto. She told all women to kill men, and it was their only way to rise to power,” Murphy explained.

This major legal victory happened on Friday as judge said Mueller could not prove that the pop star ruined his career due to the allegations she has made against him. A subsequent result of this lack of evidence means that Swift will not be held liable for the DJ’s later firing from KYGO radio station. In total, 4 out of the 5 claims made by Mueller were dismissed.

The Grammy winner’s countersuit will go ahead to jury deliberation, where Swift is asking $1 in damages.

Close friend and Girls creator Lena Dunham took to social media in support of Swift praising her fierceness saying that she is serving as a powerful examples to  others.
