Last week, Lena Dunham published an essay in The New Yorker about her decision to move from her native New York to London. After Girls ended, “when I was in my early thirties, I was deep in the kind of heartbreak that I now know is on the required curriculum for that stage of adulthood but that seemed, in the moment, life-ending and completely unique to me,” Dunham writes. She left for Los Angeles, then Wales, and then eventually London. “It was a sojourn fit for one of the Brontë heroines I had always loved.”
Dunham’s new Netflix series Too Much might not be exactly that story, but it sure sounds pretty close to the one she told last week. Netflix unveiled the first look at the project today, which stars Meg Stalter as Jessica, “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,” according to a series synopsis. “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 Brontë sister.” We told you they sounded similar.
