Alexa, play “London Calling” by The Clash.

Girls fans have another project from Lena Dunham to look forward to this summer, that takes its lead out of New York City and over to the other side of the pond. Megan Stalter, fresh off her run on Hacks Season 4, leads Too Much, the new Netflix rom-com series alongside Will Sharpe.

Created by Dunham and her husband Luis Felber, the series loosely draws from Dunham’s life, though as she told The New Yorker in a July 2024 interview, she “knew from the very beginning [she] would not be the star of it.” While she praised Stalter’s “unbelievable” work and her “openness,” she added, “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 shared of starring in her hit HBO comedy. “It was a hard choice, not to cast Meg—because I knew I wanted Meg—but to admit that to myself.”

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?”

Yes! Netflix dropped the trailer for Too Much on Tuesday, which you can check out above.

Alongside Stalter and Sharpe, the series also stars Michael Zegen, Janicza Bravo, Richard E. Grant, Leo Reich, Daisy Bevan, Adele Exarchopoulos, Dean-Charles Chapman, Rita Wilson, Naomi Watts, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Andrew Rannells, Rhea Perlman, Emily Ratajkowski, Stephen Fry, Kaori Momoi, and Adwoa Aboah.

Guest stars include Andrew Scott, Jennifer Saunders, Kit Harington, Rita Ora, and Jessica Alba.

All 10 episodes of Too Much begin streaming on Netflix on Thursday, July 10.
