According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has teamed up with Lena Dunham (Girls) and her production company, Good Thing Going, to develop and create serialized first-look projects. This partnership comes as Dunham readies her new romantic comedy Too Much for the platform later this year, marking her first scripted comedy with Netflix. At a Netflix event in London, she discussed the series, where she serves as creator, writer, director and executive producer. Dunham also joked about becoming an honorary Brit after getting her five-year visa, noting, “It did come with the damehood.”

Too Much stars Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) and Megan Stalter (Hacks) alongside a diverse cast that includes Richard E. Grant (The Franchise), Rita Wilson (The Good Wife, Girls), Stephen Fry (The Morning Show) and others. The show follows Jessica (played by Stalter), a New York workaholic who moves to London after a breakup and finds herself in a complicated romance with Felix (played by Sharpe). Dunham, who co-created the show with her husband, Louis Felber (Vinyl), shared that her own experiences in the UK inspired the concept.

Jinny Howe, Netflix’s VP of drama series, praised Dunham’s unique storytelling style, saying, “Lena’s authenticity and singular voice have redefined storytelling for this generation. She’s a creative powerhouse, weaving together complex and nuanced narratives that are as thought-provoking as they are entertaining. We look forward to delighting audiences with more of the deeply relatable stories they love from Lena.”

Dunham expressed her excitement about the partnership, saying, “Working with Netflix to bring Too Much to life has been a dream; the trust, support and creative freedom they offer are rare and precious. My producing partner Michael P. Cohen and I are deeply excited to begin the next phase of Good Thing Going with Netflix as our home, one that supports artists and makes so many of the shows that we love as viewers. From the first chat with our Netflix team, we have been aligned in the vision to lean into classic genres and serve them up with a twist, always informed by surprising points of view.”
