Fans of Girls can anticipate a new project by Lena Dunham this summer, which takes a refreshing departure from New York City and ventures to the other side of the Atlantic. Megan Stalter, recently acclaimed for her role in Hacks Season 4, stars in Too Much, a fresh romantic comedy series on Netflix, alongside Will Sharpe.
Conceived by Dunham and her husband Luis Felber, the series is loosely inspired by Dunham’s own life experiences. In a July 2024 interview with The New Yorker, she revealed that she “knew from the very beginning [she] would not be the star of it.” Dunham praised Stalter’s “unbelievable” talent and her “openness,” while also mentioning, “I also think that I was not willing to have another experience like what I’d experienced around Girls at this point in my life.”
“Physically, I was just not up for having my body dissected again,” she explained, reflecting on her time starring in her successful HBO comedy. “It was a hard choice, not to cast Meg—because I knew I wanted Meg—but to admit that to myself.”

What is Too Much about?
The series is described as “an ex-pat rom-com for the disillusioned who wonder if true love is still possible, but sincerely hope that it is.”
Stalter stars in Too Much as Jessica, “a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties, reeling from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows,” per Netflix’s synopsis.
“When every block in New York tells a story of her own bad behaviour, the only solution is to take a job in London, where she plans to live a life of solitude like a Bronte sister,” the synopsis continues. “But when she meets Felix (Sharpe) – a walking series of red flags – she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as it creates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language?”
