TOO MUCH NEW FROM THURSDAY 10 JULY, NETFLIX COMEDY DRAMA

A heartbroken, romcom-loving New Yorker relocates to London in Netflix's Too Much, but will she find true love, actually, or be thwarted by pride and prejudice?

In the 10-part dramedy from Girls creator Lena Dunham and her musician husband Luis Felber, idealistic 30-something Jessica Salmon (Hacks star Megan Stalter) decides that putting an ocean's worth of distance between herself and a recent messy break-up is a good idea when she's offered a job in the UK. But Jessica only knows about London from films and TV, so the reality of the capital isn't quite what she'd imagined.

There is, however, a bright spot on her first night there when she meets musician Felix Remen (The White Lotus actor Will Sharpe) in a pub, and the two of them form an instant connection. But Felix has his own issues to work through, and their relationship is set to be anything but smooth sailing.

Here, Megan, 34, and Will, 38, reveal why viewers should fall head over heels with their unconventional love story...

What insights can you share about your characters Jessica and Felix?

MEGAN Jessica is super-sensitive and emotional; she just wants to be in love and be happy. She definitely gets in her own way a bit. I think she had a lot of dreams that didn’t happen. In her head, London is going to be dreamy and romantic, but it’s kind of the opposite of that.
