After working with HBO on Girls and Camping, Lena Dunham found a new partner in crime in Netflix! She’s plotting a new rom-com series Too Much for the streaming giant, with Megan Stalter (Hacks) and Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) in the lead roles.
Too Much will center on the mid-30s workaholic Jessica (Stalter), who decides to move from New York City to London while reeling from a broken relationship. She plans to live her life in solitude, but her plans suddenly change when she develops an unusual connection with Felix (Sharpe).
Dunham thanked Netflix for being so deeply supportive of her vision to create a romantic comedy that makes us root for love and brings joy, but also has the jagged edges of life.
“This is a show that is very close to my heart – created with my husband Luis (Felber), cast with my favorite 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,” she said in a statement.
Too Much will be written and directed by Dunham, and she’s also coming on board as one of the executive producers alongside Felber, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Michael P. Cohen, Surian Fletcher-Jones, and Bruce Eric Kaplan.
