Lena Dunham's Netflix row “Too much” made after one season on Netflix.
According to a person with knowledge of the situation, Dunham felt the story was over after just one season. The series originally debuted on the streamer in July. Despite good reviews, the show seemed to be unable to find a large audience, as it spent only one week in the Netflix Global Top 10 English-language TV charts, although it made the top 10 in 27 separate countries.
In Too Much, Megan Stalter played Jessica, who, according to the official description of the series, “is a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties, suffering from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows. When every block in New York tells the story of her own bad behavior, the only solution is to take a job in London, where she plans to live alone like the Brontë sister. But when she meets Felix (Will Sharp) is a walking series of red flags – she discovers that their unusual connection cannot be ignored, even as it creates more problems than it solves.”
In addition to Stalter and Sharpe, the series' cast includes: Richard E. Grant, Stephen Fry, Janicza Bravo, Andrew Rannells, Michael Zegen, Rhea Perlman, Rita Wilson, Leo Reich, Adele Exarchopoulos, Adwoa Aboah, Daisy Bevan, Dean-Charles Chapman, Kaori Momoi, Prasanna Puwanarajah and Emily Ratajkowski.
Dunham co-created Too Much with her husband Louis Felber, and their relationship inspired the series. Dunham is also known as a writer, executive producer and director. Felber is also an executive producer, and his band Attawalpa provided original music for the show. Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Michael P. Cohen, Surian Fletcher-Jones and Bruce Eric Kaplan also served as executive producers. Camilla Bray produced. The series comes from the working title of Universal International Studios Television, as well as Dunham's Good Thing Going banner.
Dunham continues to do business with Netflix under her and Good Thing Going agreement hit the streamer earlier this year.
