Too Much cast and characters: Full list of who plays whom in Netflix’s upcoming rom-com

Megan Stalter as Jessica

Role: New Yorker in London, Protagonist

Megan Stalter stars in the role of Jessica. A freshly heartbroken New York woman, Jessica, moves to London for a new beginning. Stalter, fresh from Hacks, brings her mix of vulnerability and cringeworthy humor to the main character.

Her character is emotionally spent and going through the baffling process of constructing a new life, following a break-up.

Will Sharpe as Felix

Role: British musician, love interest

Will Sharpe as Felix, a self-destructive but passionate British musician who becomes embroiled with Jessica. A previous guest star on The White Lotus and Giri/Haji, Sharpe adds depth and an air of disgruntlement to the role.

Felix and Jessica's narrative forms the main plot for the series and delves into creative angst and emotional vulnerability.

Emily Ratajkowski as Wendy Jones

Role: Fiancée of Felix

Emily Ratajkowski plays Wendy Jones, who is romantically linked to Felix. Wendy is positioned as Felix’s fiancée, which adds a significant emotional complication to Felix and Jessica’s connection.

Ratajkowski’s role in Too Much is expected to be pivotal in exploring the tensions between past and present relationships.

Janicza Bravo as Kim

Role: Jessica's co-worker/friend

Janicza Bravo is Kim, Jessica's London co-worker/friend. She is a reality check to the foreign experience. Bravo is better recognized as a director, having helmed Zola.

She has a huge on-screen presence here, doling out earthy advice and humor.

Rhea Perlman is Jessica's Family Member

Role: TBA

Rhea Perlman is cast as a member of Jessica's family, but how that works out has yet to be announced. There was some early speculation that she'd be appearing as Jessica's mother figure, but Netflix and the showrunners have said nothing on the matter.

Perlman's casting also brings with it the intergenerational family strife that's sure to clash against Jessica's growing autonomy and emotional freedom.

Production and release information

Expand Tweet

Too Much was filmed across both sides of the United States and the United Kingdom, a testament to the two-set production format of the show. Lena Dunham and Luis Felber are both credited for assisting in the creation of the series and are executive producers as well.

While Dunham is actually appearing on the show, she does not have a central role and will not be playing any of the main family members. The release date is July 10, 2025, and the show will be streamed exclusively on Netflix.

What sets Too Much apart

Too Much is not only an old-fashioned fish-out-of-water tale; it's a contemporary, meta romantic comedy that combines humor with emotional complexity. According to Netflix tudum, Dunham, while explaining the show, said that,

"This is a show that is very close to my heart — created with my husband Luis, cast with my favorite actors — the geniuses that are Meg and Will, along with a bevy of friends — and partnering again with Working Title, who are behind the romantic comedies that formed me"

The show delves into the awkwardness, hope, and messiness of cross-cultural connection, with a cast that captures the energy and diversity of London and New York. Initial buzz hails Stalter's leading performance and the chemistry between the lead actors.

Too Much's broad themes of heartbreak, identity, and cross-cultural cohesion are woven throughout an international cast acted out by performers across all demographics.
