5 1 minute read

Lena Dunham‘s Netflix series “Too Much” has come to an end after just one season on the streaming platform. The decision to conclude the show after one season was made by Dunham herself, who felt that the story had reached its natural conclusion. Despite receiving positive reviews from critics, the series struggled to attract a large audience during its brief run on Netflix. While it did spend one week on the Netflix Global Top 10 English language TV chart, it only managed to crack the Top 10 in 27 individual countries.

The series, which starred Megan Stalter as Jessica, followed the story of a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties who is dealing with a recent breakup and the consequences of her own bad behavior. When she decides to move to London in search of solitude, she unexpectedly meets Felix, played by Will Sharpe, who brings a whole new set of challenges into her life.

In addition to Stalter and Sharpe, the show featured a talented ensemble cast including Richard E. Grant, Stephen Fry, Janicza Bravo, Andrew Rannells, and many more. Dunham co-created the series with her husband, Luis Felber, drawing inspiration from their own relationship. Dunham also served as writer, executive producer, and director on the project, while Felber was an executive producer and his band, Attawalpa, provided original music for the show.

“Too Much” was produced by Universal International Studios’ Working Title Television in collaboration with Dunham’s production company, Good Thing Going. The series was part of Dunham’s overall deal with Netflix, which was signed earlier this year. Despite the show coming to an end, Dunham will continue to work with Netflix on future projects.

While “Too Much” may have only lasted one season, it has left a lasting impact on viewers and critics alike, showcasing Dunham’s unique storytelling abilities and talent for creating complex and relatable characters. Though the show may be over, fans can look forward to more exciting projects from Dunham in the future.
