Lena Dunham's 'Too Much' Is Coming to Netflix—See the All-Star Cast!

Too Much is a fresh and exciting rom-com streaming this summer, and we can hardly contain our excitement. Here, read all about the plot, release date and star-studded cast you certainly will recognize! 

What is Lena Dunham’s ‘Too Much’ about?

Too Much follows Jessica, a woman in her thirties, reeling from a breakup. Picking up the pieces from the person she thought would be her forever, Jessica sets out to find a change of scenery away from the constant reminders of her past that New York provides. What she hoped would be a new existence of solitude in London quickly changes into something else entirely when she meets Felix. “I thought, is there a way for us to really layer in the baggage that people experience as they try to fall in love in their thirties? Because, unlike in your 20s, you have this trail of complexity behind you,” explained Dunham to Netflix’s Tudum. “When you react to the person that you’re falling in love with, you’re not just reacting to them; you’re reacting to everybody and everything that’s come before them.”
