If you’ve already binged Too Much and found yourself longing for more, you’re not alone. The quirky, tender, slightly chaotic romantic dramedy dropped into Netflix’s 2025 lineup and quickly stirred up chatter—not just about its characters but its future. While Netflix hasn’t officially greenlit a second season yet, key names behind the show are already entertaining what might come next.
Emily Ratajkowski, who plays Wendy—the new girlfriend of Jess’s ex and the catalyst that launches the show’s plot—has spoken openly about chatting with series creator Lena Dunham about where things could go. That doesn’t guarantee renewal, but it does spark hope.
A World Fans Aren’t Ready to Leave
The Season 1 finale left viewers with more closure than cliffhangers—but that doesn’t mean the story’s finished.
In a heartfelt scene, Wendy and Jess clear the air in London, finally meeting as humans instead of plot devices in each other’s stories. That moment of calm and mutual respect left fans hungry to explore how these characters might continue to grow—together, apart, or awkwardly orbiting one another like the exes of a Wes Anderson film.
Emily Ratajkowski put it best. “I know Wendy well — I feel like I could run into her on the street in Brooklyn.” It’s rare to hear an actor talk about a side character with such affection and familiarity.
The Creator’s Notebook Isn’t Closed
Lena Dunham isn’t brushing off the idea of more episodes—far from it.
She told The Hollywood Reporter that she’s been in conversations with co-writer Luis Felber about what could come after that blink-and-you-miss-it wedding in Season 1. Her take? “Marriage is not the end of a love story — it’s the beginning.” That feels less like a quote and more like a pitch for Season 2.
Will Sharpe, who plays Felix, echoed that sentiment. His final words about the show’s ending—”They look happy for now”—left fans suspicious in the best way. There’s clearly room for mess, growth, joy, and probably more mess.
Characters With More Mileage
Let’s be real. Most people watching Too Much probably stuck around because the characters felt lived-in, despite being freshly introduced.
-
Jess and Felix’s whirlwind romance closed with a proposal and marriage—despite not knowing each other that well.
-
Wendy and Jess’s dynamic flipped the usual “other woman” trope on its head, offering a surprisingly warm evolution.
-
Ratajkowski expressed excitement about stepping back into Wendy’s shoes, suggesting she’s emotionally invested in the role.
And when actors care that much? Shows tend to get more life. Because audiences can feel it. And honestly, this show wasn’t just romantic. It was relatable, like rummaging through your emotional baggage with a glass of wine and a soft indie soundtrack in the background.
The Renewal Question: What’s Netflix Thinking?
Netflix hasn’t given the green light, but it’s early.
The show just landed in the 2025 TV lineup, and performance metrics—especially streaming hours and binge rates—take time to shake out. If it builds the kind of cult following that shows like Love, Sex Education, or Russian Doll did, Netflix would be foolish not to bite.
What helps its chances:
-
Positive buzz online
-
Clear creator interest in continuing
-
Room to expand story arcs without dragging them
What could hurt:
-
Crowded rom-com slate
-
Netflix’s history of canceling shows before they find their feet
Basically, it’s a toss-up. But the signs point slightly toward “yes.”
Fans Aren’t Quiet About It
Scroll through any thread about Too Much and you’ll see fans already casting dream plotlines.
Some want to see Felix struggle with domesticity. Others hope Jess dives into a career pivot or navigates infertility or something equally raw. A surprising number just want to watch Wendy get a full episode arc, maybe even a chaotic love story of her own.
So far, here’s what people are hoping for:
-
More awkward brunches and wine-soaked confrontations
-
Wendy and Jess becoming… friends?
-
A deeper look at Felix’s life outside of Jess
-
Real conflict in their new marriage (hello, emotional landmines)
It’s not just about resolution—it’s about evolution. Fans want to grow with these characters, not just remember them fondly.
