Fan-Favorite Megan Stalter Is Back in Netflix Rom-Com By Lena Dunham

Emell Adolphus READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Our favorite "Hacks" star Megan Stalter is back in a new Netflix comedy by Lena Dunham and her husband Luis Felber.

As reported by Deadline, Dunham and Feller have co-created a romantic comedy series titled "Too Much" for the streaming giant and tapped Stalter and "White Lotus" star Will Sharpe to be the leads.

Per Deadline, "'Too Much' follows Jessica (Stalter), a New York workaholic in her mid-30s who is reeling from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows." So she does what anybody would do: She moves across the pond to London.

Then she meets Felix (Sharpe) and they form a highly unusual connection that, despite its problems, oozes with chemistry.

"If you'd met Jessica ten years ago, you would have been blinded by her inner light – but life has taken her on a walkabout, when she thought she was just taking a quick jog," according to the series description. "Felix upends all her expectations, but it turns out that trusting someone is scarier than trusting no one."

Sharpe's character is a boy at heart, despite being 35. "Born in the U.K. and raised between English boarding schools and his extended family in Japan, he feels neither here nor there. Making music is his only consolation – music that no one listens to," according to the description.

What's more is the series will include original music from Felber. Dunham and Felber are executive produces with Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Michael P. Cohen, Surian Fletcher-Jones, and Bruce Eric Kaplan, with Camilla Bray as producer.

"Too Much" is the first series from Dunham since "Camping," which ran on HBO for one season in 2018. Before then, Dunham was best known as the creator and star of HBO's "Girls," which ran for six seasons.
