Too Much on Netflix sees Girls star and Catherine Called Birdy writer Lena Dunham team up with her husband Luis Felber to create this new romantic comedy series.
Hacks actor Megan Stalter plays New York workaholic Jessica Salmon, who while still reeling from a break-up decides to move to London, England, to live a life of solitude ‘like a Bronte sister’. However, life decides to throw her a curveball and in the UK she meets man-child Felix Remen (The White Lotus star Will Sharpe), a trauma-ridden, wannabe musician who sleeps with any woman who stays in the bar past closing time. The connection between them is undeniable but their relationship throws up more problems than it solves. Will the path of true love ever run smoothly for the pair? Also look out for great stars including Andrew Scott, Jennifer Saunders, Kit Harington, Rita Ora, Rhea Perlman, Stephen Fry and Jessica Alba.
“This is a show that is very close to my heart — created with my husband Luis, cast with my favourite actors — the geniuses that are Meg and Will, along with a bevy of friends – and partnering again with Working Title, who are behind the romantic comedies that formed me,” says Lena Dunham. “Netflix has been so deeply supportive of the vision, which is to create a romantic comedy that makes us root for love, brings joy but also has the jagged edges of life.”

Behind the scenes — Lena Dunham on creating Too Much
At a Netflix event in London in January 2025, Len Dunham told us about creating Too Much: "So I co-created the show with my husband, Luis Felber, who's a large part of why I stayed in this country, besides, you know, also crumpets and rain. And I was really excited, of course. Some of the experience, some of my own experiences, did kick start the concept for the show. I'm always looking for actors who can truly make the character their own. And I'm sure many of you have fallen in love with Megan Stalter from her work as Kayla on Hacks, the not very competent, but utterly delightful assistant. And I also fell in love with her work on Instagram during the pandemic, when all we needed was to be entertained. And what I love about her is she is truly an old fashioned physical comedian in the vein of, you know, Carol Burnett or Elaine May, but she has something really modern and also really sweet about her, and she can move between intense comedy and heavy drama with ease. And she just felt like the perfect foil to feel how Americans contrast against the people of this nation, because it didn't take very long for me to realize that while you technically speak the same language, there are some vast differences that I am still coming to understand."
