Lena Dunham Rises Again: The ‘Girls’ Creator on Netflix’s ‘Too Much,’ Hollywood’s ‘Merciless’ Body Shaming and Whether She’d Revive the HBO Classic


Lena Dunham discusses her highly-anticipated return to television with Netflix rom-com series 'Too Much,' plus weighs the odds of a 'Girls' revival.

During the shoot, she gives a tour of her finger tattoos (they include a green dollar sign that has since faded into a blob, her mother and father’s names and “Hollywood forever”) and animatedly discusses the latest season of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” (Mary Cosby is “iconic”). Both in their mid-30s, Jess (“Hacks” standout Megan Stalter) takes a job in London after the breakdown of a relationship she thought would last forever, while Felix (“The White Lotus” star Will Sharpe) is a struggling musician whose past trauma has left him with an alcohol dependency and fear of commitment. If the cast is any indication, she indeed could be stepping into the shoes of her late mentor Nora Ephron: Meg Ryan and Mark Ruffalo are on board alongside Portman, as well as Rashida Jones and Tucker Pillsbury (better known as singer-songwriter Role Model) in his acting debut.
