Netflix's New Original Series, 'Too Much': Cast and Other Info

A collaborative work between Dunham and her husband, British musician Luis Felber, the series is projected to be 10-episode-long focusing on the story of Jessica, a New Yorker who moves to London following a bad breakup. 

Despite initial plans of living a quaint, withdrawn lifestyle in the southeastern England city, she runs into a boisterous fellow named Felix and eventually forges an impossible-to-ignore enthralling "chemistry" with him. 

Exploring the hijinx of the ensuing British-American main leads' blossoming romance, "Too Much" will be produced by the same people behind "Love Actually," Universal International Studios' Working Title Television. 

In addition, the couple-duo of Dunham and Felber will act as executive producers. 

The new Netflix series will also feature music from Felber and his band, Attawalpa. Also, Dunham's own company Good Thing Going Productions will also join the rosters of the stacked producers. 

The confirmed supporting cast standing alongside Rannells include Leo Reich, Michael Zegen (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Rhea Perlman, Richard E. Grant, Rita Wilson, Stephen Fry, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Adwoa Aboah, Daisy Bevan, Dean-Charles Chapman, Janicza Bravo, and Kaori Momoi.

As of now, no release date has been confirmed.
