'Emily in Paris meets Girls': Too Much is Lena Dunham's new delightfully messy rom-com starring Megan Stalter
Starring comedian Megan Stalter and actor Will Sharpe (as love interests, might I add), the 10-part series is giving major Emily in Paris and Girls with even more lols.
It sees workaholic Jessica (played by Stalter) leave New York and her ex behind as she relocates to the UK, where she meets a charming Brit named Will (Sharpe) and ends up in yet another messy romance.
The series will kick off this July, and includes a stellar cast list, including model and actress Emily Ratajkowski, as well as cameos from the likes of Rita Ora and Jennifer Saunders.
Oh we can't wait!
Read on for everything you need to know about the series we can already feel is going to be our next obsession.
Too Much arrives on Netflix on Thursday 10th July.
All 10 episodes will be available to stream from 8am GMT.
Too Much is a rom-com which follows 30-something-year-old Jessica as she moves to the UK in a bid for a fresh start, only to end up another toxic relationship.
The official synopsis reads: "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?"
Speaking of the show, writer and director 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."
The cast is stacked with some pretty big names from the worlds of Top Boy, Gone Girl, Fantastic Four, Game of Thrones and more.
Below is the full cast list:
There sure is and we're sold!

What's New On Netflix In July 2025? Our Top Picks Of The Shows And Films To Stream This Month
Whenever a new month rolls around, we start talking about what an eclectic mix of new shows and films Netflix has in store for us – but it's never been more true than right now. Coming up in July, there's the big-budget end of one of the streaming giant's most ambitious TV adaptations to date, hard-hitting British documentaries, star-studded US comedies, not one but two different musical reality shows and a cute stop-motion series about two of the world's most famous adorable bunnies. So yeah, when we say there's something for everyone coming up in the next few weeks, that's no exaggeration. Here are our 11 top picks of Netflix's new shows and films for July 2025… Tell me more: While Netflix's documentaries haven't always been considered the most tastefully done, the platform's latest acclaimed offering about the London terror attack in 2005 follows its much-praised exploration of the Grenfell Tower disaster last month. Attack On London re-examines the 7/7 tube bombing 20 years later, not just looking back at the attack which killed 52 people and those responsible for it, but also the ensuing impact on both the country and its capital. Netflix says: 'Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers is the untold story of one of the most devastating terror attacks on British soil – and the three weeks of panic, paranoia, and manhunts that changed Britain. '20 years ago, four bombs exploded in London killing 52 people and injuring more than 700. This multi-perspective series will track the frenzied weeks that followed and the hunt to find those responsible. 'Featuring previously unseen archive footage and exclusive interviews with survivors, family members, investigators, intelligence services and those closest to the events, the series will reveal the shockwaves that followed the first explosions. 'As the county struggled to make sense of shocking and unprecedented events, the authorities raced against time to identify the bombers and stop further attacks.' Tell me more: Five years on from the original The Old Guard movie, Charlize Theron is back as Andromache of Scythia in this action-packed superhero sequel. Joining the Oscar winner and returning stars like KiKi Layne and Chiwetel Ejiofor this time around are Henry Golding and Uma Thurman. Netflix says: 'Andy and her team of immortal warriors are back, with a renewed sense of purpose in their mission to protect the world. With Booker still in exile after his betrayal, and Quynh out for revenge after escaping her underwater prison, Andy grapples with her newfound mortality as a mysterious threat emerges that could jeopardise everything she's worked towards for thousands of years. 'Andy, Nile, Joe, Nicky and James Copley enlist the help of Tuah, an old friend who may provide the key to unlocking the mystery behind immortal existence. 'Directed by Victoria Mahoney, and also starring Uma Thurman, The Old Guard 2 is an emotional, adrenaline-pumping sequel, based on the world created by Greg Rucka and illustrator Leandro Fernandez.' Tell me more: An adaptation of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman was a long time coming, after fears that the graphic novel would simply be too difficult to ever recreate in live action. Season one was critically-lauded, and its follow-up – production on which was already underway when allegations against Gaiman were made public – is being split into three different parts, all of which will drop over the course of July. Dream's story is once again told through incredible visual effects and a star-studded cast, led by Tom Sturridge and featuring a host of recognisable faces (and voices!). Netflix says: 'After a fateful reunion with his family, Dream of the Endless must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds. 'To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals. But the path to forgiveness is full of unexpected twists and turns, and true absolution may cost Dream everything. Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series, the second season of The Sandman will tell Dream's story arc in full to its thrilling conclusion.' Tell me more: Between projects like Squid Game: The Challenge, The Devil's Plan and even the less-well-received Celebrity Bear Hunt, no one can say that Netflix's competition shows are not ambitious. But All The Sharks just might be its most elaborate to date. The show tasks different teams of marine life enthusiasts with travelling to different corners of the Earth with the intention of photographing as many types of shark as possible for a cash prize. Netflix says: 'A first of its kind competition series where four teams of shark fin-atics travel the world trying to find and photograph every shark imaginable in hopes of claiming the $50,000 prize.' Tell me more: Effectively a mix of Love Is Blind and shows like Popstars: The Rivals, Building The Band features 50 singers who form bonds with fellow competitors without ever actually seeing them, based purely on their voices. Building The Band is also notable as it marks the final on-screen appearance of Liam Payne, who serves as a guest judge once the bands have formed alongside former X Factor judges Kelly Rowland and Nicole Scherzinger, the latter of whom is credited with putting Liam together with his One Direction bandmates. Netflix says: 'In a music competition series like no other, 50 singers will form six bands without ever seeing each other— but who will have the vocal talent and chemistry to make it as the winning band? 'Building The Band brings together talented singers for a truly unique competition show where building the perfect band is all about chemistry. The singers are in complete control as they seek to form their very own bands from individual sound booths where they can't see the other artists. All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and raw talent. 'What will happen when the bands finally meet and looks, choreography, work ethic and style come into play? With incredible performances, compelling drama, and one big goal – to find the next great music band – the stage is set for an unforgettable experience. 'The series is hosted by AJ McLean with renowned artist Nicole Scherzinger (The Pussycat Dolls) serving as mentor and judge and music experts and guest judges Kelly Rowland and the late Liam Payne, who bring their unparalleled expertise and personal band experience to the competition.' Tell me more: One of our most-hyped shows of 2025, Too Much is a semi-autobiographical story from Girls creator Lena Dunham about a young woman who moves to London to get over a break-up, only to find that running from her problems isn't as easy as she first thought. Led by Hacks star and internet comic Megan Stalter, Too Much also features The White Lotus favourite Will Sharpe as her main love interest. Netflix says: 'Jessica 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 — 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?' Tell me more: Eric Bana and Sam Neill share the screen in this new limited series about a mystery that erupts when a body is discovered in Yosemite Park. Netflix says: 'A character-driven mystery-thriller that follows Kyle Turner, a special agent for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature's vast wilderness. The investigation of a brutal death sends Inman on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past.' Tell me more: This is definitely one for fans of hospital-based reality TV like 24 Hours In A&E. Critical spent three weeks filming with the London Major Trauma System, looking not just at individual patients' cases, but also exploring the back stories of the NHS workers who treat them. Netflix says: 'In London, a major trauma happens every 60 minutes, and for the NHS, each call is a race against time. Critical: Between Life and Death gets inside the minds of the dedicated trauma teams that hold our lives in their hands when the worst happens.' Tell me more: They're responsible for some of the biggest hits on the radio today – but how many pop songwriters would you actually recognise if you saw them? This new docuseries helps put a face to the hits we all know and love, while also diving deeper into how a writing camp really goes down. Netflix says: 'Behind every hit song is the person who wrote it. In the new docu-series, Hitmakers, we follow twelve of the industry's best songwriters and producers as they come together at real high-stakes writing camps to create hits for today's biggest stars like John Legend, Shaboozey, and Lisa of Blackpink. 'With tensions high and time short, viewers get a front-row seat to the creative chaos, emotional stakes, and personal breakthroughs. This isn't just about writing music… it's the journey to becoming a Hitmaker.' Tell me more: We were absolutely hooked on the cosy magic of Pokémon Concierge last year, and this new stop-motion Netflix series looks to be every bit as captivating. Inspired by the popular Sanrio characters, Hello Kitty's friends My Melody and Kuromi are taking centre stage in what looks to be the most adorable new show of 2025. Netflix says: 'A stop-motion animation series starring My Melody and Kuromi, two globally popular Sanrio characters, is born! 'My Melody is a straightforward and cheerful girl. Kuromi, the self-proclaimed rival to My Melody, may seem like a troublemaker, but she is actually quite girly. In this original story, these two polar opposites team up to face a crisis that threatens the fate of Mariland, the town where they live.' Tell me more: Almost 30 years after the first film, Adam Sandler returns to one of his most iconic roles, alongside a host of returning faces and exciting new additions. Netflix says: 'Happy Gilmore returns!'

CD Projekt Red Announces ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2' at Anime Expo
CD Projekt Red is returning to the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners universe with a new stand-alone entry, which the game developer announced alongside the anime series' showrunner during a panel at Anime Expo on Friday. The video game developer will once again partner with the animation studio Trigger for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, which, like its predecessor, will stream on Netflix. An official logo and poster art were shared as part of CD PROJEKT RED's 'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners — Behind the Scenes With its Creators,' with a promise that later in the day, Trigger would tease new footage for the series at the Peacock Theater as part of its own panel. More from The Hollywood Reporter Netflix Is Shark-Attacking Discovery and Nat Geo This Summer The Front Man Speaks: 'Squid Game' Star Lee Byung-hun Unpacks His Character's Mysterious Inner Thoughts 'The Residence' Was Mostly Good, But It Didn't Quite Earn a Second Season The series will serve as a new 10-episode stand-alone story set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, and asks the question: in a city that thrives in the spotlight of violence and when the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes will you go to in order to make your story matter? Described as a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge, Edgerunners 2 will, according to the series' story writer and producer Bartosz Sztybor, not only be a sadder and darker take, but 'more bloody, and more raw.' 'Night City has a lot of stories to tell. I have a dream that it won't end with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. There's more stories, more characters,' he added about his decision to pursue another series. 'I wasn't satisfied with the sadness I received from the audience so I want you to be even more sad now.' Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will feature a new story and fresh characters, and while the series does not currently have a release date, it will be directed by Kai Ikarashi. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners director Hiroyuki Imaishi made a special appearance during the panel to pass the baton for Ikarashi's directorial debut on the series, after working together on the 2022 entry. Voice actors Emi Lo (Lucy Kushinada) and Zach Aguilar (David Martinez) also appeared on the panel, which saw cast and creatives take fans behind the scenes of the 2022 anime. Sztybor and Ikarashi will be joined on Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 by lead character designer Kanno Ichigo and Masahiko Otsuka, who will be responsible for the screenplay adaptation. '[Cyberpunk: Edgerunner's] David [Martinez's] story might be over, but there's plenty more to discover in Night City. And to again have the legendary animation studio Trigger along for the ride makes us at CD Projekt Red so excited to introduce a raw, real chronicle of redemption and revenge, something unlike what we've done before,' Sztybor said in a statement.
