Netflix has announced a new romantic comedy series ‘Too Much’ featuring Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe. The 10-episode series will be created by multi-award-winning writer, director, producer, and actor Lena Dunham and Luis Felber.
The rom-com will be produced by Working Title Television, which is part of Universal International Studios, and Lena Dunham’s ‘Good Thing Going’. The series will also feature original music from Luis Felber.
Megan Stalter will play the lead role of Jessica, and Will Sharpe will play Felix.
According to Netflix statement, the series revolves around Jessica who is a New York City workaholic in her mid-thirties. She is moving on from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolates everyone she knows.
She takes a job in London, where she plans to live a life of solitude like a Bronte sister. But when she meets Felix – who is less Hugh Grant in Notting Hill and more Hugh Grant’s drunken roommate – she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as it creates more problems than it solves, according to the statement.
‘Too Much’ is an ex-pat rom-com for the disillusioned who wonder if true love is still possible, but sincerely hope that it is.
Talking about the series Lena Dunham said, “This is a show that is very close to my heart – created with my husband Luis, cast with my favourite 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. Netflix has been so deeply supportive of the vision, which is to create a romantic comedy that makes us root for love, brings joy but also has the jagged edges of life.”
The production of the series will begin in the UK in 2024.
