Lena Dunham’s ‘Too Much’ releases a trailer
There’s a new romantic comedy series on the horizon for Netflix that has been teased and in the making for quite some time now. Too Much, created by Lena Dunham, recently released a trailer for the series, along with an exciting cast announcement. Netflix shared five new names that will be guest-starring in the upcoming series, which already has a spectacular cast list.
The new names are Jessica Alba, renowned for her work in Dark Angel, Rita Ora, the famous singer-songwriter, is also known for her work in Twist, Andrew Scott, known from Fleabag, Kit Harington, previously featured in Game of Thrones, and Jennifer Saunders, who was loved for her work in Sing.
Too Much revolves around Jessica, who is a workaholic New Yorker. After a heartbreaking break-up, she encounters Felix, who is a musician. Over the course of ten episodes, she explores love and London and realises that they are not much like Notting Hill. Jessica is played by Megan Stalker, who is known for her work in Hack. Felix is taken on by Will Sharpe, who featured in The White Lotus. It’s an unexpected connection between the two opposites, but one that they cannot ignore.
The trailer gives an interesting insight into the various comedic occurrences of the show. From breaking into her ex-boyfriend and his current girlfriend’s new home at midnight to her meet-cute with Felix at a dingy bar in London, the trailer and Jessica’s character definitely pique the interest of the viewers.
Michael Zegen, known for Rescue Me, will be the ex-boyfriend, while Emily Ratajkowski, who starred in Gone Girl, will be the new girlfriend.
Dunham is also the writer, director and executive producer of the show. Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Michael P Cohen, Surian Fletcher-Jones and Bruce Eric Kaplan also take on the role of executive producer for Too Much. It is produced by NBC Universal’s Working Title and Good Thing Going Productions. The latter is Dunham’s own production company. Her husband, Luis Felber, has also co-created the show.
Releasing on July 10th, the show will also be the debut of stand-up comic Leo Reich. He first went viral with his show Literally Who Cares?! in 2022.
