Lena Dunham Premieres New Netflix Series Too Much in London

Lena Dunham returns to television with "Too Much," a 10-episode romantic comedy series premiering on Netflix that follows Jessica, a heartbroken New Yorker who relocates to London to start anew after a breakup. The show, co-created by Dunham and her husband Luis Felber, blends comedy, romance, and drama while exploring themes of emotional baggage, cultural clashes, and relationship complexities in one's 30s. Megan Stalter stars as Jessica, whose character is both vulnerable and comically flawed, while Will Sharpe plays Felix, a disheveled musician whose charm contrasts with traditional rom-com stereotypes. Dunham, known for her earlier hit series "Girls," aims to subvert and celebrate the romantic comedy genre, infusing the narrative with autobiographical elements and a fresh perspective on love and identity in a foreign city. The series features a notable supporting cast including Stephen Fry, Richard E Grant, Rita Wilson, and Jennifer Saunders, contributing to its layered storytelling. Released on July 10, "Too Much" combines Dunham's signature voice with a modern, honest look at romance, making it a significant addition to her body of work.
