Girls star and creator Lena Dunham is heading for Springfield and will make her guest appearance in the season 27 premiere, titled, Every Man’s Dream.

The 28-year-old actress will lend her voice to the role of Candace, a twenty-something pharmacist, who catches Homer Simpson's interest as he faces marital woes with Marge, reports Entertainment Weekly.

Speaking about her cameo, Executive Producer Al Jean, said, “She’s not playing herself or Hannah from Girls. But it’s that funny, intellectual, slightly awkward, endearing tone that everybody’s familiar with, so we were just writing it with her voice in our heads.”

He added, “For those who are sick of marriage crisis episodes, it goes in a completely different direction than any before."
