Is Lena Dunham's Rom-Com ‘Too Much' Getting A Season 2? It's Not Guaranteed, But Here's What We Know
If you, much like the rest of us, have already inhaled Lena Dunham's Too Much you're probably still swooning over Jessica (Megan Stalter) and Felix's (Will Sharpe) perfectly imperfect love story, replaying that courthouse wedding on a loop, and asking the question on everyone's lips: Will there be a second season? Dunham's signature move is to leave us wanting — nay, needing — more. The first season of Too Much closes with Jess and Felix leaping into marriage, rather than a fairy-tale fade-out, but with all the messy, hilarious, and achingly real uncertainty that made us fall in love with the series in the first place. As Stalter told The Wrap, 'I love the ending because it's exciting to think of…"wait, what's next? If they're married, then what now? What's going to happen?"' Needless to say that we, the people, need more! This is everything we know about Too Much season two. In true Netflix style nothing has been greenlit just yet, but it seems there's plenty of hope for doting Dunham-philes. Dunham herself certainly isn't playing coy about her hopes for a second act. In a post-finale interview with The Wrap, the multi-hyphenate confessed, 'I would love to do another season and sort of shift it away from "meet cute" and into "marriage story." Marriage is not the end of a love story. In many ways, it's the beginning, and a marriage is an incredibly complicated negotiation.' The good news is that the inaugural outing of Too Much ended on something of an open-ended note, meaning that there's plenty more of Jess and Felix's story to be fleshed out. Dunham has also nodded to the idea of a second season, telling Netflix's Tudum that she wanted the wedding in the season one finale to leave audiences with 'lingering questions.' 'I wanted the finale to leave us inspired, but also going, "They haven't known each other that long,"' she explained. 'It's that dual feeling of totally embracing it and also wondering, "Are they going to be divorced in three months?"' The Girls creator also added in her interview with The Wrap that the show is loosely based on her marriage, which, like Jess and Felix, happened pretty early into the relationship. 'We also experienced getting to know each other and getting to know each other's families within the context of marriage,' Dunham noted. The first season of Too Much was filmed in 2024 and debuted on July 10, 2025. If Netflix gives the go-ahead for a second outing of the show soon, it is entirely plausible that it could be released at some point 2026. Here's hoping! Too Much is available to stream now on Netflix. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Blackpink Return with High-Energy Single "JUMP": Stream It Now
Yara Sameh Global K-pop powerhouse Blackpink returned on Friday with their new single 'JUMP,' marking their first release as a group in nearly three years. The high-octane track, which was first debuted during the kickoff of their World Tour DEADLINE in Goyang, South Korea, last weekend, is already sending shockwaves through the BLINKS and beyond. Earlier this week, Blackpink dropped a teaser for the 'JUMP' music video ahead of the release. Written by an all-star lineup of TEDDY, Diplo, 24, Zikai, Claudia Valentina, Jumpa, Malachiii and Jesse Bluu — and produced by Diplo, 24, Boaz Van De Beatz, Zecca and Ape Drums — 'JUMP' sees the group boldly venturing into hardstyle territory. Each member — Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — shines as usual across the track's unpredictable hooks and pounding beats, showcasing their vocal colors while delivering a united, addictive energy. The new release comes as the group kick off their massive World Tour DEADLINE, which will see the quartet perform 31 shows across 16 cities, including two-night stadium stops in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, and London. Following their South Korea opener, Blackpink are set to bring the tour stateside this weekend for a two-night stint at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The tour will then continue overseas throughout the summer and fall, making stops in France, Italy, Spain, the UK, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong. 'JUMP' also sets the stage for the next chapter in Blackpink's career after a three-year hiatus that saw each member pursue solo ventures, from Jennie's acting debut in "The Idol" to Rosé and Lisa's solo music success. The group hasn't shared new music since 2023's 'The Girls,' which the foursome released specially for "Blackpink The Game". Before that came the 2022 album "Born Pink", which topped the Billboard 200. 'Jump' is now available on YouTube and all major streaming platforms. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
