We truly, truly can’t wait for this one. Girls creator Lena Dunham is back with a corker of a rom-com series, Too Much, this time set in London.
It centres around workaholic New Yorker Jessica who moves to London post-breakup and immediately has her life upended by Felix (played by White Lotus star Will Sharpe) – who is described as “less Hugh Grant in Notting Hill and more Hugh Grant’s drunken roommate.” Dunham says the show will create the joys of love, as well as the “jagged edges of life”.
Too Much will be dropping on Netflix later this year.
The Residence, produced by Shonda Rhimes
Netflix
The latest genius from Shonda Rhimes (following producing credits such as Grey’s Anatomy, Bridgerton, Inventing Anna) is screwball whodunnit The Residence, starring Orange Is The New Black star Uzo Aduba.
Uzo will play detective Cordelia Crupp, who is tasked with solving a murder and finding the culprit within The White House. It’s been aptly described as “comedic, almost farcical”, and we can’t wait to see more.
The Residence drops on Netflix on 20 March.
Stand up and sitcom magic from Leanne Morgan

After the success of her stand-up show I’m Every Woman, US comedian Leanne Morgan will be bringing us another stand-up special this year, hopefully full of big knicker humour and intimate stories of being a wife and mother.
Leanne will also star, co-create and executive produce new sitcom Leanne, which follows the story of a woman whose husband of 33 years leaves her. So far, so sad right? It’ll be approached with a comedic twist, touching on themes from Leanne’s stand-up – including the realities of the menopause – and the importance of family for pulling through hard times.
