Press Release
Lena Dunham has set a new romantic comedy series at Netflix, with Megan Stalter & Will Sharpe set to star, Deadline has confirmed. The 10-episode Too Much is the first series created by Dunham since HBO’s Camping, which aired for one season in 2018. Production will begin in the UK in 2024.
From Dunham and her husband Luis Felber, Too Much, set in London, follows Jessica (Stalter), a New York workaholic in her mid-30s who is reeling from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows. When every block in New York tells a story of her own bad behavior, the only solution is to take a job in London, where she plans to live a life of solitude like a Brontë sister. But when she meets Felix (Sharpe) — who is less Hugh Grant in “Notting Hill” and more Hugh Grant’s drunken roommate — she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as it creates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: Do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language? The series is an ex-pat rom-com for the disillusioned who wonder if true love is still possible, but sincerely hope that it is.
