Lena Dunham is set to share her life story in the upcoming Netflix series Too Much, but she will not be taking on the lead role. Instead, Megan Stalter, known for her role in Hacks, will be headlining the show.
In a recent interview with The New Yorker, Dunham explained that she made the decision not to star in the series due to the intense scrutiny she faced following her time on Girls. She expressed that she wanted to protect herself and focus on creating meaningful work.
Too Much will follow a thirty-something American woman who moves to London and falls in love with a British musician, played by Will Sharpe. The show is loosely based on Dunham's own experiences, including her marriage to Luis Felber in 2021.
Stalter rose to fame in early 2020 with her online web series, The Megan Stalter Show, gaining popularity on social media. Her comedic talent led her to a starring role in Hacks and appearances in various other projects.
Stalter, who identifies as bisexual, publicly confirmed her relationship with girlfriend Maddie in October 2022. She has been vocal about body positivity and her decision not to undergo plastic surgery, emphasizing the beauty of aging naturally.
Reflecting on Stalter's performance, Dunham praised her versatility and described her as a talented and captivating presence on screen. Stalter's openness and genuine demeanor have resonated with audiences, contributing to her success in the entertainment industry.
As Stalter continues to make her mark in Hollywood, she remains committed to staying true to herself and embracing her unique qualities both on and off the screen.
