After making TV history with Girls about a decade ago, Lena Dunham is back with a Netflix series that has the internet buzzing. Too Much, a romantic comedy loosely inspired by Dunham’s own experiences, premiered with much fanfare on July 10.
But while the story is intriguing and the acting strong, the show doesn’t seem to attract as many viewers as expected. One week later, the global Netflix charts for English shows are still dominated by The Sandman and The Waterfront.
Too Much only made it to the Top 10 in eight countries. The main question is, will it come back for more?
Too Much Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t officially renewed Too Much for additional episodes. While the show’s performance is nothing to scoff at, especially as it sparks social media discourse, it remains to be seen whether it’s enough to secure a second outing.
The streamer recently cancelled The Residence, which seemed to do well on the service and even brought lead Uzo Aduba an Emmy nomination for best comedy actress. This further proves that the powers that be are fickle, and all we can do is speculate.
Additionally, viewership can still pick up as long as the series enjoys word-of-mouth buzz. If it does get renewed, we might be able to watch Too Much season 2 sometime in late 2026.

What Could Happen in the Too Much Season 2?
Too Much is created by Lena Dunham and Luis Felber and inspired by their real-life relationship. Dunham has a small role in the series, while Megan Stalter stars as Jessica, a freshly heartbroken New York producer.
After her boyfriend leaves her for an influencer, Jess accepts a job offer in London for a fresh start. There, she meets Felix, a musician, and the two hit it off, embarking on a whirlwind romance.
However, it’s not all rainbows and butterflies. The couple has to deal with emotional baggage, sobriety struggles, and cultural differences. It also doesn’t help that Jessica is obsessed with her ex’s new girlfriend.
By the end of the first season, Jessica and Felix get married in an intimate ceremony. A pretty neat conclusion if the show weren’t to return for more. Still, their story is far from over.
As Dunham puts it, “When I think about where these characters would go, when Luis and I talk about it, what we’re really thinking about is that marriage is not the end of a love story — it’s the beginning.”
In other words, Too Much season 2 could follow Jessica and Felix as they try to make the marriage work. We would be on board for that.
Are There Other Shows Like Too Much?
Too Much is a weird combination of cringe, realness, and occasional hilarity. If you’re craving something similar, you might be into shows like Love, You’re the Worst, and Fleabag.
Alternatively, romance fans might enjoy Nobody Wants This, Forever, One Day, or From Scratch.
