    Girls creator Lena Dunham returns to TV with Too Much, another story about a complicated, messy woman trying to find herself (and love) in the big city. This time, though, Dunham swaps New York for London, and her leading lady is none other than Hacks‘ Megan Stalter.

    Stalter plays Jessica, a workaholic in her mid-thirties whose longterm relationship has just come to a devastating end. Needing a change of scenery from her New York life, she takes a job in London. There, she hopes to live out her own Bridget Jones’s Diary or Notting Hill rom-com fantasy.

    Her actual London reality — a cramped flat, screaming neighbors — leaves much to be desired. But when she meets musician Felix (Will Sharpe, The White Lotus), she discovers a connection she can’t quite shake. (Even if he’s littered with red flags.)

    Check out Stalter and Sharpe’s chemistry in the trailer above, where they bicker about the differences between Americans and Brits, make out around London, and even spit in each other’s mouths during sex. (It’s a Lena Dunham show, what else would you expect?)

    Plus, get a sneak peek at Too Much‘s star-studded guest cast, including Andrew Scott, Naomi Watts, Kit Harington, Jennifer Saunders, and Jessica Alba.

    Co-created by Dunham and Luis Felber, Too Much also stars Michael Zegan, Janicza Bravo, Richard E. Grant, Leo Reich, Daisy Bevan, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Dean-Charles Chapman, Rita Wilson, Rita Ora, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Andrew Rannells, Rhea Perlman, Emily Ratajkowski, Stephen Fry, Kaori Momoi, and Adwoa Aboah.

    Too Much premieres July 10 on Netflix.
