Still ‘Too Much' to Say: Lena Dunham Has More Story for Season 2, But Will Netflix Renew it?

Still ‘Too Much' to Say: Lena Dunham Has More Story for Season 2, But Will Netflix Renew it?

Pink Villa19-07-2025
Lena Dunham's romantic dramedy Too Much may not have made a splash on Netflix's global charts, but the creative force behind the series isn't ready to walk away. As speculation grows over whether the streamer will renew the show, Dunham is already thinking about what a second season would explore, and it wouldn't be more 'meet cute.' Instead, she wants to dive straight into what happens after the impulsive wedding that closed out season one.
No renewal yet, but Dunham has plans
Netflix has not confirmed whether Too Much will return, and the show's weak debut—failing to crack the global top 10—has led many to believe it's on the chopping block. But Dunham's recent interviews make clear she's not done telling Jessica and Felix's story.
'In terms of the second season, we're not there yet,' she told The Hollywood Reporter. She continues to say, 'that marriage is not the end of a love story—it's the beginning.' She wants to explore the reality of two people who barely know each other being thrust into a lifelong commitment.
From learning each other's quirks to navigating family, future plans, and conflict, Dunham sees plenty of material still on the table.
Cast is on board for more
Star Megan Stalter, who plays Jessica, echoed the feeling in an interview with The Wrap, saying, 'If they're married, then what now?' Will Sharpe and Emily Ratajkowski, whose characters Felix and Wendy were central to Jessica's messy romantic unraveling, are also reportedly open to returning.
Ratajkowski even shared that Dunham has storylines ready for her character, Wendy. Even though renewal is uncertain, Dunham's ongoing deal with Netflix and her enthusiasm could give Too Much a second chance.

Did AR Murugadoss just blame Salman Khan starrer Sikandar's failure on his inability to understand Hindi?

Director AR Murugadoss is gearing up for the release of his next Tamil movie, Madharasi, starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead. As part of the promotions, the director was seen at an event where he seemed to have indicated the failure of the Salman Khan starrer Sikandar, due to his inability to understand Hindi. AR Murugadoss about Salman Khan's Sikandar failure Talking about his recent venture, director AR Murugadoss said, 'When we make films in our mother tongue, it gives us strength. We know what is happening here. Today, there's a trend going and suddenly the audience gets connected with that trend.' 'When we shift language, we don't know what the youngsters are enjoying in that language. All we need is a script to believe it,' the director added. Highlighting how it feels working in other languages, Murugadoss revealed that Telugu is somewhat easy for him to understand, but he doesn't know Hindi at all. The filmmaker continued, 'For once, I can take up Telugu films, but Hindi may not work for us because after we write the script, they translate it into English. Then it is again translated into Hindi. When you make a film in an unknown language and place, it feels like you are handicapped. It is like you don't have hands.' More about Sikandar Sikandar, starring Salman Khan in the lead, is an action drama flick featuring the Bollywood superstar as Sanjay "Sikandar" Rajkot, the final heir of the Rajkot dynasty in Gujarat. Leading a life with his wife Saisri, he performs his duties as a king, standing up for his people. However, a fateful event leads to the death of his wife and the queen regent. As he is dealing with her loss, Sikandar learns his wife had decided to donate her organs to various people in Mumbai. Struck with grief, the king decides to safeguard everyone who received his wife's organs, with an old foe waiting to resurface. The movie was massively dealt with negative reviews upon release and eventually tanked at the box office. It is available for streaming on Netflix. AR Murugadoss' next Following Sikandar's failure, director AR Murugadoss' next film would be Sivakarthikeyan starrer Madharasi. The action thriller is slated to release on September 5, 2025, with the first single, Salambala, releasing on July 31, composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
