Will Sharpe stars as Felix in a new Netflix series that draws inspiration from classic English romances and rom-coms. Sharpe, known for roles in The White Lotus, plays an aspiring musician with a sensitive nature and dry humor. He collaborates with Lena Dunham and his real-life partner, Luis Felber, for songwriting that enhances his character's arc. The show examines Felix's journey of love and self-discovery, reflecting on Dunham's empathetic and witty writing style that resonates with its audience.
Sharpe, who played Ethan on The White Lotus season two and more recently the tour guide James in Jesse Eisenberg's film, now gets to be a Netflix leading man opposite Megan Stalter in a role that isn't a direct one-to-one for Dunham's own love story with her husband Luis Felber, but is not not inspired by it.
Sharpe plays Felix as a deeply sensitive aspiring musician with a dry sense of humor, a man who's to overcome his demons while falling in love with Jess.
Sharpe mentions bonding with the character, Felix, during the scriptwriting process and collaborated with Dunham and Felber to integrate music into the character's narrative.
Sharpe expresses excitement in meeting Lena Dunham, feeling a kinship with her specific and empathetic storytelling style that balances wit and humor.
