Netflix's Too Much star Daisy Bevan is spitting image of BBC star mum and iconic British family

Lena Dunham finally returned to our screens today with her latest Netflix comedy-drama Too Much - a semi-biographical love story starring Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe. Loosely based on the story of how Lena ended up with her British musician husband Luis Felber, the ten-parter follows Jessica as she moves to London from New York after a devastating break-up.

While stars Megan and Will have received rave reviews since the show landed on Netflix, many viewers have been distracted by actor Daisy Bevan thanks to her resemblance to her very famous mother. The 33-year-old plays Josie - one of Jessica's new colleagues in London - and takes on one of her biggest roles to date on the series, having previously appeared in McDonald & Dodds, The Alienist and The Outcast.

Daisy is the daughter of Nip/Tuck star Joely Richardson and film producer Tim Bevan, having followed her parents into a career in showbiz. Joely is best known for her role on Showtime/BBC Two show The Tudors as well as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Sandman, 101 Dalmations and other big projtects.

Joely, 60, is also a member of the Redgraves - a family of iconic actors which includes her mother, Call the Midwife's Vanessa Redgrave, her film director father Tony Richardson, her late sister, Maid in Manhattan's Natasha Richardson, and her cousin, Doctor Who's Jemma Redgrave.

Meanwhile, Daisy's dad Tim is best known for producing Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Theory of Everything, Darkest Hour and Love Actually. The couple married in 1992 but split nine years later.

Joely congratulated her up-and-coming daughter with a gushing post on Instagram, writing: "To Daisy Carmen the wisest and most inspirational person I know, and the magnificent and groundbreaking Lena Dunham - congratulations on the launch of 'Too Much' tomorrow night on Netflix.

"A friendship that blossomed into creative endeavour. I’ve only seen the trailer but ‘British Jones’ instead of Bridget Jones had me laughing out loud.

"Couldn’t help but include childhood snaps with a nod to rust coloured beanies. What a cast. ps. And @rooibos_ldn for best haircuts. Am filled with PRIDE in every sense of the word."
