‘Too Much,' Plus 7 Things on TV this Week
Fresh starts.
For many millennial women, despite the fact that the finale of 'Girls' aired in 2017, it's never been too far out of the cultural zeitgeist. But now there will be fresh characters, plots and content to analyze with Lena Dunham's new show, 'Too Much.' The story follows Jessica (Megan Stalter), who, fresh off a breakup, moves to London for a new job and ends up falling for Felix (Will Sharpe), an indie musician who has seemingly countless red flags (I am having Adam flashbacks). The story is loosely based on Dunham's real life — after working in Britain and meeting her now-husband, Luis Felber, there, she said she wanted to examine American expats' fantasy of London versus the actual experience. All 10 episodes will be released at once. Streaming Thursday on Netflix.
The real-life sisters Kat Sadler and Lizzie Davidson created a British sitcom in which they star as … sisters. The first season of 'Such Brave Girls' tells the story of a mother, Deb (Louise Brealey), and her two daughters, Josie (Sadler) and Billie (Davidson), who navigate life after their father (Deb's husband) leaves. In the second season, coming out this week, no topic is off limits — depression, medication, sex and affairs are all on the table. Streaming Monday on Hulu.
Does he love me? Does he love me not?
After a two-year hiatus, 'Bachelor in Paradise' is back this week. The show features former contestants who head to a beach, this time in Costa Rica, for a second (or third, or fourth) chance at love. This season, the contestants from 'The Golden Bachelor' franchise are also joining, but it's unclear if there will be intergenerational dating. Jesse Palmer will serve as host, Wells Adams is returning as the bartender and for a new addition, the former 'Bachelorette' Hannah Brown is taking on a role entitled 'paradise relations,' in which she will help with rose ceremonies. Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC and streaming the next day on Hulu.

Kate Middleton's $9,600 Dior debut included hidden details that nodded to Princess Diana
"It's Dior, darling," Kate Middleton likely thought to herself as she looked at her outfit on Tuesday. Prince William and the Princess of Wales welcomed Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron to the UK on Tuesday for a state visit. Kate, 43, stepped out of her fashion comfort zone for the occasion, forgoing her favorite designers, Catherine Walker and Alexander McQueen, in favor of a pink Christian Dior ensemble. Kate has never worn Dior at a public event before, and making her debut in an outfit from the French fashion house as she greeted the country's president was a savvy diplomatic move. Plus, the princess's outfit was full of hidden details that made it stand out even more. Kate Middleton's Dior debut The star of Kate's outfit was a 30 Montaigne Rose Des Vents Bar Jacket from Dior's 2024 collection. The brand's Bar Jackets have been iconic since Christian Dior first designed them in 1947. Maria Grazia Chiuri created the reimagined version Kate wore on Tuesday. Chiuri became Dior's first female creative director when she took on the role in 2016, and she announced in May 2025 that she would be stepping down. Kate paired the jacket with a midi-length tulle skirt in the same shade that flared out around her calves, offering a royal spin on the balletcore trend. Although blush versions of the products aren't available on Dior's website, the jacket retails for $5,000 in three colors, while the skirt comes in white and black for $4,600. Kate kept her monochromatic look going with a bespoke hat from Jess Collett Milliner, a UK-based hat designer, and a Mulberry clutch, both of which were the same blush color as her jacket and skirt. She also added $795 Gianvito Rossi pumps to the look. Royal roots Kate completed her outfit with pearl jewelry that previously belonged to other royals. Queen Elizabeth frequently wore the three-strand pearl necklace Kate sported on Tuesday, and the Princess of Wales was first spotted wearing it in September 2022 in the wake of the queen's death, as Town & Country reported. Kate paired the necklace with Princess Diana's pearl drop earrings, which she also wore to a remembrance service in 2021. Diana's earrings were a particularly appropriate accessory for her Dior ensemble, as Diana became a muse for the fashion house in the 1990s. For instance, she attended the 1996 Met Gala, which celebrated Christian Dior, in a gown custom-designed by John Galliano, fresh off her finalized divorce from then-Prince Charles. The navy slip dress made quite a statement for the royal, as it was inspired by lingerie and featured lace detailing on the neckline. Likewise, Diana was given a Dior bag in 1995 by Bernadette Chirac, the first lady of France at the time. She went on to tote several versions of the bag to royal engagements before her death. Dior renamed the bag"Lady Dior" in her honor. Kate continued Diana's legacy with her ensemble on Tuesday, stepping into her tenure as Princess of Wales even more firmly.

Jonathan Bailey Talks About How Bridgerton Taught Him Nothing About Romance
Jonathan Bailey recently discussed how being on Bridgerton influenced his perspective on love and dating. While promoting his latest film, Jurassic World Rebirth, the actor reflected on whether his time on the Netflix series had an impact on real-life relationships. Jonathan Bailey offered his perspective on romance and dating during a recent interview. Known for his portrayal of Anthony Bridgerton on the hit Netflix series, the actor has clarified that it hasn't influenced how he approaches relationships in real life. Appearing on Chicken Shop Date to promote his latest film Jurassic World Rebirth, Bailey was asked by host Amelia Dimoldenberg if starring in Bridgerton had made him more skilled in romance. His response was direct, 'No!' he said with a laugh. The actor also added, 'It was a fantasy, isn't it? Romance is grounded and real.' During the same segment, Bailey lightheartedly imagined what Dimoldenberg's role would be if she were cast in the Bridgerton world. He teased, 'I can imagine you in Bridgerton. [Your character would be] really uptight. She'd be a sort of a potential spinster.' Bailey has spoken previously about how the romance genre shaped his outlook. In a past interview with Entertainment Weekly, he explained how his views on romance stories have evolved, especially after being part of a show like Bridgerton. He said, 'I've grown up with the idea of romance as a genre. It's never been a genre that's been given the respect and the international platform that Bridgerton has.' Reflecting on his earlier impressions of romance, Bailey added, 'My understanding of romance novels was that it was on the beach with a glass of rosé. But it makes sense. Sexuality, intimacy, and identity is everything.' Jonathan Bailey is currently starring on the big screen in Jurassic World Rebirth. Later this year, he'll appear as Fiyero in Wicked: For Good, set for release in the fall. Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on ComingSoon.
