Lena Dunham is currently plotting her Netflix comedy Too Much, and its cast will be a true embarrassment of riches. The full ensemble cast has been announced, and it includes the likes of Adele Exarchopoulos, Richard E. Grant, Stephen Fry, and many more.

Too Much will star Megan Stalter as a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties, who decided to take a new job in London after every corner of her hometown reminds her of her past failures.

Despite planning to live a life of solitude, her outlook changes when she runs into Felix (Will Sharpe), described as “a walking series of red flags”. This unlikely duo develops an unusual connection that’s impossible to ignore, despite creating more problems than it solves.

Stalter and Sharpe will be joined by an impressive ensemble of supporting players in this promising series.

Adele Exarchopoulos (Passages), Adwoa Aboah (Top Boy), Andrew Rannells (GIRLS5EVA), Daisy Bevan (The Alienist), Dean-Charles Chapman (1917), Janicza Bravo (Sharp Stick), Kaori Momoi (The Brightest Roof in the Universe), Leo Reich (Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?!), Michael Zegen (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Prasanna Puwanarajah (The Crown), Rhea Perlman (Cheers), Richard E. Grant (Saltburn), Rita Wilson (Sleepless in Seattle), Stephen Fry (The Dropout) have just been added to the cast.

They’re joining Emily Ratajkowski (Gone Girl), who was cast as Felix’s ex-girlfriend Polly in early February.
