Move Over 'Girls' — Why Lena Dunham's Neflix Series 'Too Much' Is Going To Be Your New Rom-Com Obsession
Nobody Wants This may be about to return in the autumn, but if that's too long a wait for you, then allow Lena Dunham's latest rom-com series, Too Much, to scratch the itch. The 10-episode series, which debuts on Netflix on July 10, follows Jessica (Hack's Megan Stalter), a workaholic New Yorker who, in the wake of a devastating breakup, moves to London only to find that love (which she finds with The White Lotus' Will Sharpe) — and life — in the capital aren't quite all they're cracked up to be. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Speaking to Netflix, Dunham said, 'When I first started coming to the UK for work … I thought to myself, "I want to write something about the experience of being a foreigner here, and the fantasies we have of [London] versus the realities." Then when I met my husband, Luis, I felt like I was experiencing all of that, but in the context of a relationship.' What ensues is a messy fallout you're sure to fall head-over-heels for, featuring some seriously star-studded cameos from the likes of Andrew Scott, Kit Harington, Jessica Alba, Rita Ora, and Jennifer Saunders (yes, really). So get your calendar, and bookmark July 10 immediately — this is not one to miss. When New Yorker Jessica (Stalter) is left broken-hearted and single in the wake of her forever relationship crumbling, she finds that her former love is etched onto every corner of the city. The solution? To relocate across the pond to live like a Brontë sister. The reality? Jessica ends up falling for Felix (Sharpe) who, the official synopsis reads, is 'less Hugh Grant in Notting Hill and more Hugh Grant's drunken roommate.' While Dunham's previous works, including the lauded series Girls, would suggest that she tends to write and star in her work, with Too Much, the multi-hyphenate was clear on drawing a clear boundary. 'Physically, I was just not up for having my body dissected again,' she told The New Yorker. 'I knew from the very beginning I would not be the star of it. First, because I had seen Meg Stalter's work, and I was very inspired by her. She's unbelievable; I think people are going to be so blown away. We know how funny she is. But, then, when she enters a dramatic scene, you're, like, Oh, we got a little Meryl Streep on our hands! I also think that I was not willing to have another experience like what I'd experienced around Girls at this point in my life.' To say that Too Much features a star-studded stable of actors is a serious understatement. Alongside Stalter and Sharpe, Too Much also stars: Bookmark July 10 to binge all of Dunham's genius at play when Too Much will premiere on Netflix.

Jonathan Daviss To Star As Snoop Dogg In Universal's Craig Brewer-Directed Biopic
EXCLUSIVE: Jonathan Daviss is set to star as venerable hip hop artist Snoop Dogg in the definitive biopic from Universal Pictures. Best known for Outer Banks, Daviss takes the lead role days after the studio set Craig Brewer to direct the film. The film will be produced by Snoop Dogg, Brian Grazer and Death Row Pictures president Sara Ramaker. More from Deadline Snoop Dogg Film To Be Directed By 'Hustle & Flow's Craig Brewer At Universal BET Honoring Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg, Jamie Foxx & Kirk Franklin With Ultimate Icon Award Every 'The Voice' Winner Since Season 1, Including 9 Team Blake Champions Daviss hails from Houston and played the role of Pope in the Netflix YA drama Outer Banks. In 2022, he starred in Netflix's Do Revenge opposite Sophie Turner, Maya Hawke and Austin Abrams. Previous credits include Age of Summer and Edge of the World. The film is a look at how Calvin Broadus Jr. entered into the West Coast hip hop fray. Taking the moniker Snoop Doggy Dogg (he'd later drop the middle name), Snoop brought his laid back drawling delivery and sharp lyrics to Death Row Records, where he worked with Dr Dre on his smash debut album Doggystyle. He broadened into other platforms to the point he might well be seen rubbing elbows with Martha Stewart or getting in the pool with Michael Phelps during the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he became one of the high points of that Olympiad on NBC and Peacock. The film is the first project under Death Row Pictures' overall deal with NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios as the label moves into motion pictures. Numerous of Snoop's recent forays are tied to NBCUniversal; he's returning to NBC's musical competition series The Voice this fall, reclaiming his red chair for Season 28. The Snoop Dogg film becomes Universal's third outing about the formative stories of hip hop icons. The others include the Eminem-starrer 8 Mile, and Straight Outta Compton traced the roots of the seminal rap group N.W.A and its rise to become one of the most influential acts of the gangsta rap and West Coast hip hop subgenres. Universal SVP Production Development Ryan Jones and Director of Development Tony Ducret will oversee the project for the studio. Daviss is represented by Monster Talent, Innovative Artists and Skrzyniarz & Mallean.
