About this listen
Megan Stalter is making headlines across both entertainment media and the red carpet with the premiere of her new Netflix series, Too Much, co-created by Lena Dunham and Luis Ferber. The last several days have seen Megan everywhere: at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards in Los Angeles on July 17, 2025, she caused a stir and turned heads by wearing a custom dress made out of Diet Coke boxes, drawing attention from photographers, fans, and fellow stars. “What is more delicious than me and Diet Coke?” she told Variety as she openly pined for an official brand partnership, but made clear she was open to offers from any soda brand depending on who calls first, according to a red carpet interview reported by Just Jared and Parade. Her playful, tongue-in-cheek outfit was widely discussed on social media and fashion blogs, reinforcing her reputation for quirky humor and original self-promotion.
Professionally, Megan’s trajectory has hit a new peak. The Too Much trailer debuted on Netflix and immediately generated buzz: the series stars Stalter as Jessica, a New York workaholic fleeing heartbreak for a fresh start in London, opposite Will Sharpe and with a starry supporting cast including Jessica Alba, Rita Ora, and Andrew Scott. This marks Megan’s first major lead after breakout roles in Hacks and Problemista, and is regarded as a significant step forward in her career, as underlined in Indiewire’s recent profile, which recaps her journey from Ohio improv stages, to social media notoriety—specifically referencing her famous “Hi, gay!” viral video—to critically lauded comedic work. Interview comments this week have her embracing the challenges of being a woman comic online and handling “the meanest stuff” said about her, doubling down on her unapologetic confidence and self-worth, which has been a recurring theme in her public persona, highlighted in The Guardian and repeated in recent coverage.
Megan’s public appearances this week include a Too Much episode screening at 92NY on July 14, where she was photographed discussing her comedy and television career. Social channels lit up with images from the event, as well as with behind-the-scenes photos from the Too Much premiere, where she posed with co-star Will Sharpe and Lena Dunham. Entertainment outlets like Deadline and AOL are hailing Stalter as “the rising Netflix star” of the season. Her social media handles have amplified these appearances, reposting coverage and expressing gratitude to fans and collaborators.
No confirmed new business ventures have emerged outside her lighthearted pitch to Diet Coke and other brands, but the media consensus is that Stalter is at a watershed moment both critically and commercially, and industry speculation is rife that more major roles—and perhaps those coveted endorsements—are just around the corner.
