Andrew Rannells and Lena Dunham's Surprising Romance in Netflix Romcom 'Too Much'!
EXCLUSIVE SCOOP: Andrew Rannells Spills Tea on His Sizzling Rom-Com Reunion with Lena Dunham!
Get ready for a blast from the past as two of Hollywood's favorite stars reunite on screen in the highly anticipated Netflix rom-com, Too Much! We've got the inside scoop on what's brewing between Andrew Rannells and his on-screen wife, the incomparable Lena Dunham.
The 46-year-old actor is set to sizzle alongside his Girls co-star, Lena, as they take their characters from exes to husband and wife in this hilarious new series. We caught up with Andrew on the red carpet at the premiere of I Don't Understand You in New York City on Monday night, where he dished all about reuniting with Lena for Too Much.
"It was very fun to get to make [Too Much] with her," Andrew gushed, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "We're sort of the grownups now." Ah, who needs a time machine when you've got the chemistry between these two? We can't help but wonder if their on-screen romance will translate into real-life flirtation!
But don't worry, folks; this isn't just about Andrew and Lena's reunion – there are plenty of juicy plot twists to go around. In Too Much, a 10-part series helmed by the hilarious Meg Stalter (Hacks) and White Lotus star Will Sharpe, we meet Jessica (Meg), a New Yorker who heads to London after a painful breakup only to find herself falling for Felix (Will). But what really gets our hearts racing is that Andrew plays Lena's husband – yes, you read that right! – as well as her boss. Talk about a power couple!
Lena Dunham created and wrote Girls, which catapulted Adam Driver to stardom and launched the careers of many other talented stars. The show was known for its unflinching portrayal of millennial life in New York City, tackling topics like sex, relationships, and identity with humor and heart.
This time around, Lena takes a break from playing herself (no pun intended) to let her muse, Meg Stalter, shine as the lead in Too Much. In an exclusive interview last year, Lena revealed that she was hesitant to re-enter the public eye after the controversy surrounding Girls, but ultimately decided to pass the torch to the talented Meg.
"I was not willing to have another experience like what I'd experienced around [Girls] at this point in my life," Lena explained. "Physically, I was just not up for having my body dissected again."
But what really got our attention is that Lena has written a whole new story for Too Much – one that's semi-autobiographical and tackles themes of love, loss, and identity. And with Andrew Rannells by her side as her on-screen husband, we can't wait to see how their characters navigate the ups and downs of relationships.
While we're still buzzing about Lena and Andrew's reunion, let's not forget that there are plenty more reasons to tune in to Too Much! The show boasts an all-star cast, including Emily Ratajkowski, Richard E. Grant (Saltburn), Adwoa Aboah (model and actress extraordinaire), Rita Wilson, Rhea Perlman, and even Stephen Fry!
And if that's not enough, Andrew is set to star alongside Nick Kroll in the upcoming comedy movie I Don't Understand You, which hits theaters on June 6. The film follows an American couple who embark on a disastrous Italian vacation after their adoption plans hit a snag.
Andrew dished about his reunion with Nick: "I worked with Nick on Big Mouth – he created it! And Nick also plays my character's hormone monster, so we already had like a very nice relationship." He continued, "So this was great to get to explore that as humans. I'm thrilled that people like us together."
With Too Much and I Don't Understand You hitting the screens soon, you can bet your bottom dollar that these two projects will be the talk of the town!
