Overview

  • The series marks Dunham’s first television project since Girls ended in 2017 and will debut globally on Netflix on July 10.
  • Too Much follows Jessica (Megan Stalter), a workaholic New Yorker who relocates to London after a breakup and forms an unlikely bond with musician Felix (Will Sharpe).
  • Dunham describes the show as a “love letter” to London, spotlighting council estates and eclectic neighborhoods to capture the city’s authentic grit.
  • In response to past diversity critiques of Girls, the production features an intentionally inclusive cast and crew, including Stephen Fry, Naomi Watts, Richard E Grant and Rhea Perlman.
  • Rejecting picture-perfect conventions, the rom-com explores the messy, complicated realities of adult relationships and cultural clashes with an abrasive yet authentic tone.
