Lena Dunham's rom-com series 'Too Much' will not return for a second season on Netflix. The show, which followed a New Yorker's impulsive move to London, was intended as a limited series by its creator. Dunham has left the door slightly open for future stories involving the characters.
Cancellation Announcement
Netflix has confirmed that 'Too Much,' the romantic comedy created by Lena Dunham, will not proceed to a second season. A source informed Variety that Dunham believed the story was complete after its initial 10-episode run. TVLine has reached out to Netflix for official confirmation, but no response was available at the time of reporting.
Series Overview
The series starred Megan Stalter as Jessica, a daydreaming New Yorker obsessed with British rom-coms, who moves to London and falls for Felix, played by Will Sharpe of 'The White Lotus.' Dunham, known for HBO's 'Girls,' wrote and directed the show alongside her husband and co-creator Luis Ferber. She also made an appearance, joined by guest stars including Naomi Watts, Andrew Scott, Rita Wilson, and Andrew Rannells.
'Too Much' premiered on Netflix in July 2025, delivering a fresh take on cross-cultural romance. At a recent FYC panel, Dunham explained the decision: "Our intention was always to make 'Too Much' as a limited series... We had done what we needed to do, and part of the job is knowing when to park it." However, she added a note of possibility: "Maybe there will be a time down the line when it feels right to check in on them again."
Fan Reactions and Context
The news marks the end of Jessica and Felix's on-screen journey, though fans hoping for more may find solace in Dunham's open-ended comments. The series received attention for its witty script and strong performances, but its limited format aligns with Dunham's vision for concise storytelling.
