Lena Dunham romcom Too Much for Netflix

FIRST LOOK: Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe star in Too Much, a comedy from writer-director Lena Dunham launching on Netflix on July 10.

Jessica (Stalter) is 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. 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.

But when she meets Felix (Sharpe) – a walking series of red flags – she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even when it creates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language?

An “ex-pat rom-com for the disillusioned who wonder if true love is still possible, but sincerely hope that it is,” the cast also includes Michael Zegan, Janicza Bravo, Richard E Grant, Leo Reich, Rita Wilson, Naomi Watts, Andrew Rannells, Rhea Perlman, Emily Ratajkowski and Adwoa Aboah.

Created by Dunham and Luis Felber, Dunham is the writer and director. She also executive produces with Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Michael P. Cohen, Surian Fletcher-Jones and Bruce Eric Kaplan. The producer is Camilla Bray.

Too Much is a Working Title Television and Good Thing Going production.
