Romantic comedy series TOO MUCH from creator Lena Dunham coming to Netflix

A new romantic comedy series is coming to Netflix from the creator Lena Dunham (Girls) and her husband and co-creator, Luis Felber. The series is titled Tooand will be the protagonist Megan Stalter (Tricks) AND Will Sharpe (THE white lotus) in the main roles.

The show “follows Jessica (Stalter), a New York workaholic in her 30s who is recovering from a broken relationship she thought would last forever and who is slowly isolating everyone she knows. When every block in New York tells the story of her bad behavior, her 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 bond is impossible to ignore, even if it creates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and English really speak the same language? The series is an expat romantic comedy for the disillusioned who wonder if true love is still possible, but sincerely hope that it is.

According to the official character descriptions, “If you met Jessica ten years ago, you would have been blinded by her inner light, but life took her for a walk, when she thought she was just going for a quick run. Felix turns all his expectations upside down, but it turns out that trusting someone is scarier than trusting no one. Felix is ​​a very different 35-year-old: he acts like an eternally 18-year-old, dresses like a punk elf, runs as fast as he can due to a trauma he can’t name, sleeps with every woman who stays at the bar beyond closing time and wakes up wondering why he can’t just enjoy a night alone. Born in the UK and raised among English boarding schools and his extended family in Japan, he feels neither here nor there. Making music is his only consolation: music that no one listens to.”

Dunham writes and directs Too, which features Felber’s original music. The pair is producing the ten-episode first season, which is their first series since the one-season HBO show Campingaired in 2018.
