Two decades later, pop justice has been served.
Fergie and comedian Megan Stalter just dropped a revamped version of the 2006 music video for “London Bridge,” and yes, this time they actually filmed it on London Bridge. The new version celebrates the upcoming launch of Too Much, Netflix’s buzzy new romantic comedy series from creator Lena Dunham.
The video, now live on Fergie’s YouTube channel, serves as the official kickoff to the series’ July 10 premiere.
Right Bridge, Right Time
Back in 2006, Fergie’s “London Bridge” music video made waves, but it mistakenly showcased the more photogenic Tower Bridge instead of its namesake. Now, with Netflix’s blessing and Dunham’s vision, the error’s been cheekily corrected.
Shot on the real London Bridge (less iconic, slightly grimier, but geographically accurate), the reboot pairs Fergie with Too Much star Megan Stalter. Directed by Mia Barnes with creative input from Dunham and Fergie herself, the result is both a nod to pop nostalgia and a playful bridge to what promises to be one of summer’s most talked-about shows.
Meet Too Much
Too Much follows Jessica (Stalter), a heartbroken New Yorker who impulsively relocates to London after a devastating breakup. What begins as a solo reinvention quickly turns into a whirlwind romance with Felix (Will Sharpe), a charming indie musician.
The cast is stacked: Emily Ratajkowski, Naomi Watts, Richard E. Grant, Andrew Rannells, and Rhea Perlman co-star, with guest appearances from Kit Harington, Andrew Scott, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Saunders, and Rita Ora. Yes, it’s giving international rom-com chaos, and yes, we’re into it.
Why Fergie Said Yes
“As an American girl who once had her own adventures in London filming the original video, I instantly felt a connection to this project,” Fergie shared. “Lena told me ‘London Bridge’ was the only song she could imagine introducing the show, and I couldn’t have been more honored.”
Her favorite part? The chance to reclaim the moment, with a wink. “Twenty years later, we finally filmed on the actual (albeit slightly messier) London Bridge, because what isn’t too much about filming a video for a song you already have a video for?”
Dunham’s Dream Came True
Lena Dunham called the collaboration a dream come true. “Fergie has always been deeply iconic to me, her glamour, her honesty, her ability to be just enough and too much at the same time,” she said. “We’re all still pinching ourselves that she agreed to come bless our world.”
With its blend of high-energy pop, chaotic comedy, and big-hearted romance, Too Much may be exactly what we need this summer. And now that Fergie’s finally crossed the right bridge? Consider us all the way in.
