Upcoming Romcom: Details on Releasant Date, Star-studded Cast, Storyline, Teaser, Talks, and Everything Essential About Lena Dunham's Love Comedy
Title: Too Much: A Chaotic Love Story Unfolds Across the Pond
Ready for a wild, modern romance set against the backdrop of London? Look no further than Too Much, the upcoming Netflix series from Lena Dunham and her husband Luis Felber. Megan Stalter takes the leading role as Jessica, a New York workaholic reeling from a break-up who impulsively moves to London in hopes of a fresh start. But life's got other plans when she crosses paths with the quirky, troubled Felix, played by Will Sharpe.
Stalter, best known for her role on Hacks, portrays the distraught Jessica, whose life spirals after her relationships begin to crumble around her. In an attempt to escape, she temporarily relocates to the UK, where she meets Felix, a self-proclaimed misfit described as a 'less Hugh Grant in Notting Hill and more Hugh Grant's drunken roommate.' Their unconventional chemistry is immediate, yet Jessica struggles to trust Felix and the future of their trans-Atlantic romance seems uncertain.
The ensemble cast is bursting with stars such as Andrew Scott, Jennifer Saunders, Kit Harington, Rita Ora, Rhea Perlman, Stephen Fry, and Jessica Alba. "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," gushes Lena Dunham. The series promises a blend of laughter, heartache, and the jagged edges of life.
Too Much is set to launch worldwide on Netflix starting from July 10, 2024. A thrilling trailer has already been released, offering a glimpse into the comedic chaos and romance that awaits viewers. So, grab your popcorn, snuggle up on the couch, and prepare yourself for a rollercoaster ride of emotions!
Jessica Salmon: A Work-Focused New Yorker
As the series' protagonist, Jessica Salmon, Megan Stalter portrays a high-powered, career-driven woman struggling to find happiness in her personal life. In addition to her role in Too Much, Stalter has been featured in shows such as Queer as Folk, Sometimes I Think About Dying, Problemista, and Cora Bora. Her hit podcast, The Megan Stalter Show, gained popularity during the pandemic as a light-hearted distraction for audiences.
Felix Remen: A Trauma-Fueled Dreamer
Counteracting Stalter's Jessica is the outlandishly quirky, trauma-ridden Felix, portrayed by Will Sharpe. Notably known for his role in Defending The Guilty and Giri/Haji, Sharpe also appeared in the hit series The White Lotus season 2 and BBC1's Casualty. He will also star in the upcoming Sky series Amadeus in 2024.
In Too Much, Felix embodies the chaotic, charming, yet troubled energy that makes viewers root for him despite his flaws. As Jessica hesitates to trust him and the relationship faces obstacles, we can't help but wonder if their love will overcome all odds.
