Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham has confirmed that her latest Netflix show, Too Much, won’t be coming back for a second season. This comes more than four months after the romantic comedy series had released its first ten episodes.
The show was led by Emmy nominee Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) and Megan Stalter (Hacks). The cast also included Dunham, Michael Zegan, Janicza Bravo, Richard E. Grant, Rita Wilson, Naomi Watts, Andrew Rannells, Rhea Perlman, Emily Ratajkowski, and Adwoa Aboah. Since its debut, it has garnered a Certified Fresh rating of 79% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 82 reviews.
Why is Netflix’s Too Much series not returning for a second season?
During the recent FYC panel, Dunham explained why there won’t be a Too Much Season 2 despite the positive reception that the show had received. She revealed that they have always known that the story would only be a limited series. The show was inspired by her real-life love story with husband Luis Felber, who, like Sharpe’s character in the show, is also a British musician.
“Our intention was always to make Too Much as a limited series,” Dunham said. “It was meant to feel like a classic transatlantic love story but with time to really dig into the complexities that a film doesn’t have the space for.”
Too Much was created and executive produced by Dunham and Felber, with the Girls alum also serving as its writer and director. This was her first major TV project as creator after seven years of working on the HBO series Camping. It was executive produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Michael P. Cohen, Surian Fletcher-Jones, and Bruce Eric Kaplan, with Camilla Bray producing.
“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 Brontë sister,” reads the official synopsis. “But when she meets Felix (Sharpe) — who is less Hugh Grant in Notting Hill and more Hugh Grant’s drunken roommate — she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as it creates more problems than it solves.”
