'Girls' Season 3 Instagram Teaser Packs the Punch of Its Full Trailer

Before trailers, there are now Instagram video trailers for trailers. At least that's the case when the show's writer and director is the social-savvy Lena Dunham.

The HBO wunderkind teased the trailer for Girls season 3, which premiered on YouTube Friday morning, by sharing a preview of the trailer on Instagram on Thursday night.

Set to Grouplove's "Ways to Go," the full season 3 trailer (above) teases the themes that have become synonymous with Girls: dysfunctional young love, unstable friendships and feeling lost. Dunham's 15-second version, below, delivered a similar message, proving the storytelling potential of Instagram's 6-month-old video feature.

Girls season 3 premieres Jan. 12 on HBO with two back-to-back episodes.
