Lena Dunham brings romantic comedy "Too Much" to Netflix: Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe in the lead roles

The creator of the hit series "Girls" presents her latest creation "Too Much" - a romantic comedy series that will be available exclusively on Netflix from July 10, 2025.

What Can We Expect in "Too Much"?

In the series, "Hacks" star Megan Stalter plays the workaholic New Yorker Jessica, who tries to start anew in London after a failed relationship. She originally planned to "live a life of solitude like a Brontë sister," but then she meets Felix, played by "The White Lotus" breakout star Will Sharpe.

What begins as a chance encounter develops into an unusual connection that neither can ignore - even if it creates more problems than it solves. The central question of the series: "Do Americans and Brits really speak the same language?"

Star Cast Under Dunham's Direction

Unlike in "Girls," Lena Dunham will not be in front of the camera this time. "Physically, I just wasn't ready to have my body dissected again," the director explained in an interview. Instead, she relies on the comedic talent of Megan Stalter, whose dramatic abilities she compares to Meryl Streep.

The cast also includes model and actress Emily Ratajkowski, who takes on the role of Polly. The series was developed by Dunham together with her husband Luis Felber and co-produced by the producers of the cult rom-com "Notting Hill" - a promising team for all fans of romantic comedies.

A First Teaser Has Already Been Released

Although a full trailer has not yet been released, Netflix provided the first glimpses of the series on May 12. The short teaser already shows that Stalter's comedic talent will be fully showcased. In the first images, both Stalter and Sharpe can be seen, promising an unusual but irresistible chemistry.

Dunham's return to the series format is eagerly anticipated. After the controversial success of "Girls," she now ventures into an international love story that addresses cultural differences and misunderstandings with her characteristic humor.

"Too Much? There's no such thing!" is the slogan of the series - and for fans of smart romantic comedies with depth, that might just be true. Mark July 10, 2025, on your calendar, because that's when it's time for binge-watching on Netflix!
