The new is created by Lena Dunham, who is also attached to directing, writing, and producing. Dunham’s directing credits include the seminal and beloved series Girls, which ran for six seasons on HBO. More recent credits include Industry, Catherine Called Birdy, and more.

Dunham is reuniting with the producer’s team at Working Title Television (WTTV) for the new project, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, who worked with her on Catherine Called Birdy, starring Bella Ramsey.

What’s the plot of Too Much? How many episodes?

We now have a full synopsis for Too Much, which has been sourced from Netflix;

“Jessica (Megan 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 Bronte sister. But when she meets Felix (Will Sharpe) – a walking series of red flags – she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as it creates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language?”
