Too Much Cast: Here's Where You've Seen The Stars Before
Lena Dunham made her TV return this week when her new series Too Much landed on Netflix. The much-anticipated rom-com series stars Hacks' Megan Stalter as New York workaholic Jessica, who moves to London after a dramatic break-up and swiftly falls for a mysterious musician, played by The White Lotus' Will Sharpe. Whether you're yet to give the series a try, or you've already sprinted through all 10 episodes, there are definitely more than a few faces on the star-studded cast list that you'll recognise. Here's where you've seen the cast of Too Much before... Too Much's lead star is best known for her breakout role as Kayla in the dark comedy Hacks. But before her TV career exploded, you might have seen her in many a viral online comedy skit. Since those early days, Megan has also landed roles in Queer As Folk, Sometimes I Think About Dying and the animated sitcom #1 Happy Family USA. She was also in the music video for Kacey Musgraves' song Simple Times along with Muna's What I Want. The White Lotus fans will instantly recognise Will Sharpe for his role as Ethan in season two of Mike White's much-hyped series. He also appeared in last year's Oscar-winning A Real Pain alongside Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg. Going back further, Will was a staple on medical drama Casualty between 2009 and 2010, playing junior doctor Yuki Reid. More recently, you might have seen him in Defending The Guilty, Giri/Haji and Flowers. As well as creating the show, Lena also appears as Nora, Jess' older sister. The multi-hyphenate writer, director, actor and producer had her breakthrough with her semi-autobiographical 2010 feature film Tiny Furniture, after which she shot to mainstream fame by directing and starring in the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning Girls. She has also been in films like This Is 40, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and I Wish You All The Best. Behind the camera, she's directed the movies Catherine Called Birdy starring Bella Ramsey – resulting in her meeting her future husband Luis Felber – and Sharp Stick, as well as the first ever episode of the British financial drama Industry. The US actor, singer and producer has been a Hollywood fixture since the 70s, and is known for her roles in films like Sleepless in Seattle – alongside her now-husband of 37 years, Tom Hanks – Jingle All The Way and Now And Then. Her other film appearances include That Thing You Do!, The Story Of Us, Runaway Bride, It's Complicated and Larry Crowne. She was previously in Lena's TV phenomenon Girls as Evie Michaels, mother to Marnie Michaels, and The Good Wife. As well as her work on screen, Rita is also a producer on many huge Hollywood films like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Mamma Mia! and A Man Called Otto. Joining the cast of Too Much as influencer Wendy, Emily Ratajkowski started out in modelling before moving into the acting world. She's been in movies like Gone Girl, We Are Your Friend, I Feel Pretty and Lying And Stealing, along with TV series Easy, The Spoils Before Dying and History Of The World, Part II. Emily first became known in the public space after starring in Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines video, but in 2021 accused the singer of sexual assault (the singer did not publicly respond to these allegations). We could forget Rhea Perlman's iconic role as negligent mother Mrs Wormwood in the 1996 classic Matilda? Before that, she was already widely known for her role as head waitress Carla Tortelli in the sitcom Cheers. Across her five decade-long career, she's been in films like Canadian Bacon, The Sessions, Poms and, more recently, 2023 blockbuster Barbie. She's also been in TV shows like Poker Face, The Mindy Project and the '90s sitcom Pearl. Of course, she was married to Danny DeVito for 30 years, too, before the pair announced their split in 2012 (though, as of 2023, they were still technically married). Among the many big name credits in Too Much is legendary British actor Richard E. Grant. He made his debut in the 1987 comedy Withnail and I, and has gone on to give memorable performances in Hudson Hawk, The Age of Innocence, The Portrait Of A Lady, The Iron Lady, Jackie, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Saltburn. In 2018, he received his first Academy Award nomination for his performance opposite Melissa McCarthy in Can You Ever Forgive Me?. On the small screen, you'll have seen him in Doctor Who, Frasier, Game Of Thrones and much more. And let's not forget, Richard was actually cast in Lena's Girls because of his role in the Spice Girls movie Spice World. The defining role of Naomi Watts' career so far is in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, after which she went on to join the cast of the late director's iconic show Twin Peaks. And there are countless other huge movies we've seen her in, like King Kong, Birdman and The Impossible. In the last few years she's brought her talents to the Ryan Murphy series The Watcher and Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. She also shares the screen with Kim Kardashian in the superproducer's forthcoming legal drama All's Fair. The French actor is best known for her role in the coming-of-age story Blue Is The Warmest Colour. She also gave a moving performance in the 2023 film Passages, while her other past projects include Wingwoman, Orphan and Race And The Jailbird. Just last year, she was also introduced as the voice of Ennui in Inside Out 2. The British actor, model and mental health advocate spreads her time across various pursuits these days. As a model, she was notably the first cover star of British Vogue during Edward Enninful's tenure, and her big acting break came when she landed the role of Becks in Top Boy. Adwoa has also been in Ghost In The Shell, Satisfaction and To Get Her. Prasanna may have appeared only in two episodes of The Crown's fifth season, but the British actor made a big impact with his crucial role, starring as Martin Bashir, the journalist who famously (and, now, controversially) interviewed Princess Diana for BBC's Panorama. You might have also watched Prasanna in Patrick Melrose, The Listeners, Payback, Ten Percent, and You, Me And The Apocalypse. Reuniting once again with Lena, Andrew Rannells played Elijah throughout all six seasons of Girls. Big Mouth fans will also recognise Andrew's voice as Matthew MacDell in the US animated sitcom. His other previous roles include A Simple Favour, The Prom, The Intern and Bachelorette, along with TV shows Girls5Eva, Welcome to Chippendales and Black Monday. Andrew is also a huge name in the musical theatre world, appearing in major Broadway shows like Hairspray, The Book Of Mormon, Hedwig And The Angry Inch and Hamilton. Janicza is actually best known as a director and writer. Not only does she play Kim in Too Much, but she also directs episode eight. She's previously helmed the movies Zola, Lemon and In A World…, along with single episodes of The Bear and Poker Face. As for acting, she was in Lena's 2022 movie Sharp Stick and her TV series Camping. Dean-Charles has certainly come a long way since we saw him on our screens as Tommen Baratheon on Game Of Thrones. His impressive resume also includes movies like 1917, Before I Go To Sleep, Blinded By The Light and The King. He also previously worked with Lena on her movie Catherine Called Birdy.

One Of Stephen King's Most Intense Horror Movies Is Streaming On Netflix
The work of horror author Stephen King has inspired so many great films and shows over the years. Of course, it can be difficult to keep track of them all. Here's a recommendation for one intense Stephen King adaptation you may have missed on Netflix – which was directed by none other than Mike Flanagan. Flanagan has made a name for himself both on and off Netflix, having been involved with several exclusive films and shows for the streaming platform. With original titles that include Hush and Midnight Mass , Flanagan also helmed the theatrical King adaptation Doctor Sleep . As for Netflix, however, he chose to adapt a King story that was long considered impossible to film. The story has a very unique setting, one which sees its protagonist trapped in a singular area. Of course, that's a great opportunity to induce some psychological horror, as King's novel exceled in doing. Flanagan takes those concepts and somehow makes it all work for a cinematic interpretation. The Mike Flanagan Netflix film based on the Stephen King novel, Gerald's Game , revolves around Carla Gugino's Jessie Burlingame and her husband, Gerald, played by Bruce Greenwood. The two take a vacation at an isolated lake house. During their time there, however, the two decide to spice up their relationship with a game of bondage, which leaves Jessie cuffed to their bed. One thing leads to another and Gerald suffers a heart attack, with Jessie forced to survive as she battles her inner demons and some that may be more real than she suspects. Mike Flanagan directed Gerald's Game from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jeff Howard based on Stephen King's novel of the same name. The cast includes Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood, Carel Struycken, Henry Thomas, and Kate Siegel. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for more recommendations on Netflix and other such streaming services as we have them to offer, including other Stephen King adaptations. The master of horror has contributed to many great films and shows over the years, with Gerald's Game being just one small example.
