You Know The 'Too Much' Cast from 'Hacks,' 'The White Lotus' And 'Game Of Thrones'

Elle14-07-2025
For those who have been rewatching Girls recently, Lena Dunham just dropped another new binge-worthy series. Netflix's Too Much—out now—follows Jessica (Megan Stalter), a young woman who moves from New York to London after experiencing a messy breakup. Across the pond, she meets and begins falling for a British musician named Felix (Will Sharpe).
And like any Dunham project, the rest of the cast is stacked. 'I honestly can't believe it happened,' Dunham told Tudum about Too Much's all-star ensemble. 'There were so many actors that I respect that I was like, "Even if the character is in one episode or four episodes, I want to give them something to grab onto."'
Below, get to know the main cast of Too Much.
Megan Stalter (Hacks, Problemista) plays the lead character Jessica, a heartbroken young woman who relocates to London for a job after a bad breakup. There, she meets a charming musician named Felix (Will Sharpe).
Will Sharpe (The White Lotus, A Real Pain) plays Felix, a British musician who meets Jessica after one of his performances at a local pub.
Michael Zegen (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Penguin) plays Jessica's ex, Zev, who dumps her for an influencer.
Emily Ratajkowski (Gone Girl, I Feel Pretty) plays Wendy, an influencer and Zev's new fiancée.
Lena Dunham (Girls, Catherine Called Birdy) also stars in her series as Nora, Jessica's older sister, who recently separated from her husband.
Andrew Rannells (GIRLS5EVA, Girls) plays Jameson, Nora's ex who left her to 'explore non-monogamy with a couple who are both named Cody'. He's also Jessica's boss who sends her to London on a work assignment.
Rita Wilson (Asteroid City, Sleepless in Seattle) plays Lois, Jessica and Nora's mom.
Rhea Perlman (Matilda, Barbie) plays Dottie, Jessica and Nora's grandmother. The whole family lives in her home in Great Neck, Long Island.
Janicza Bravo (Zola, Sharp Stick) plays Kim, a creative director and Jessica's new co-worker.
Watts plays Jessica's boss's wife, an extremely wealthy woman who she has a particularly exuberant interaction with at a dinner party...
Kim's assistant and Jessica's Gen Z colleague. 'I'd seen a stand-up special of [Leo's],' says Dunham, 'and thought, "This is a kid genius."'
One of three Pollys, but really, the main Polly. Polly is Felix's friend and former on-off lover/it's complicated. You'll recognise Exarchopoulos from breakout film Blue Is The Warmest Colour - she also voices Ennui in Inside Out 2.
Scott, who you'll know from Fleabag, Sherlock Holmes and more plays a director that Jessica comes into contact with as part of a work assignment.
Another of Jessica's colleagues, who has something on and off maybe going with Kim... you'll recognise her from The Alienist.
The Game of Thrones star appears as Jessica's father in a series of important and emotional flashbacks.
Auggie is Will's flatmate, friend and bandmate - you may remember him playing Martin Bashir in The Crown or in Patrick Melrose.
Gaz is Jessica's neighbour and actually a sweet and caring presence in her life during her stay. He played Tommen Baratheon in Game Of Thrones.
The A List actor (and Instagram favourite follow for me) Grant, plays Jessica's boss. Speaking about his casting, Dunham said: 'Richard E. Grant is this kind of incredible kind of British maximalism coupled with major pathos and physical comedy.'
Juliana Ukiomogbe is the former Assistant Editor at ELLE. Her work has previously appeared in Interview, i-D, Teen Vogue, Nylon, and more.
