Set against the backdrop of London, the romantic comedy is created by both Dunham and her husband Luis Felber, who will also contribute to the music. Hack’s actress Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe from The White Lotus will star in the series.

“This is a show that is very close to my heart –  created with my husband Luis, cast with my favourite actors – the geniuses that are Meg and Will, along with a bevy of friends – and partnering again with Working Title, who are behind the romantic comedies that formed me,” commented co-creator and writer Lena Dunham. “Netflix has been so deeply supportive of the vision, which is to create a romantic comedy that makes us root for love, brings joy but also has the jagged edges of life.”
