The one from Netflix Too many will not return for a second season.
The update comes after reports and Lena Dunham’s own comments during an FYC panel last week, where she confirmed that the romantic comedy was always intended to function as a limited series.
Dunham created the 10-episode show with her husband, musician Luis Felber, loosely drawing on their relationship as inspiration for the main characters played by Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe.
The story follows Jessica, who flees New York for London after a breakup and quickly falls in love with Felix, a musician and, as Netflix put it, a “walking series of red flags.”
The season ends with the couple getting married – a conclusion Dunham says was intentional.
Dunham has pushed back on the idea of the series being strictly autobiographical, saying it simply started when “a girl moves to England. She meets a musician. They fall in love”, before expanding into its own world.
Speak with THR Ahead of the show’s premiere, she said, “While the seed of it may be autobiographical, it has gone in directions I could never have imagined.”
At the FYC event, she reiterated that intention: “It was always our intention to make Too Much as a limited series… We had told the story. It ends with a wedding.” She noted a little Easter egg in the finale: “In the final scene you’ll hear me say ‘cut!’ shout”
Still, Dunham hasn’t completely closed the door yet, adding: “Who knows – maybe there will come a time when it feels right to visit them again.”
Dunham continues her work for Netflix and recently filmed a new romantic comedy, Good sexwith Natalie Portman and Mark Ruffalo.
