The pop icon teams up with Megan Stalter for a playful, self-aware remake tied to Lena Dunham’s Netflix series “Too Much.”
Two decades after Fergie’s London Bridge first took over dancefloors worldwide, the singer is revisiting her iconic hit—this time with a twist. In a move blending nostalgia, humor, and a dash of British sarcasm, Fergie, now 50, has reimagined the original 2006 video by actually filming on London Bridge—not the more photogenic Tower Bridge, where the first video was famously shot.
The new version accompanies Netflix’s upcoming series Too Much, premiering July 10, starring comedian Megan Stalter in a rom-com about heartbreak, culture shock, and self-discovery in London.
In the video, Fergie and Stalter strut across London Bridge, sip tea with exaggerated British flair, and even get cheeky with the King’s Guards—one scene shows Stalter being “arrested” for her chaotic dance moves. The clip embraces a more comedic and carefree vibe than the sultry original, leaning into self-parody in a way that feels both fresh and self-assured.
This time around, Fergie playfully acknowledges the original video’s “gaffe” of using Tower Bridge instead of London Bridge. In one scene, she deadpans to the camera: “Now you see why we didn’t shoot here in 2006,” as the camera pans to the real, somewhat plain-looking London Bridge.
Directed by Mia Barnes, the updated clip has all the hallmarks of a modern Fergie—relaxed, witty, and unafraid to poke fun at herself. “I loved the idea of doing a video that’s a little messy, playful, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Let’s take the piss out of it, as the Brits say,” she told fans.
Too Much, created by Lena Dunham, follows Jessica (Stalter), a New Yorker who uproots her life after a breakup and relocates to London, only to fall for indie musician Felix in a story full of chaotic energy, romance, and awkwardly funny cultural clashes. The series also features a star-studded cast including Will Sharpe, Emily Ratajkowski, Naomi Watts, Richard E. Grant, Andrew Rannells, and Rhea Perlman.
Dunham, who handpicked London Bridge as the show’s anthem, wanted the song to encapsulate the unfiltered energy of the series. “When Lena said this was the only track she could imagine opening the show, I was so honored,” Fergie shared.
The reimagined video manages to celebrate the past while proving that a 2000s pop anthem can still feel relevant—and hilarious—two decades later. “Twenty years on, we finally got it right,” Fergie joked. “Sure, the real London Bridge might not be as glamorous as Tower Bridge, but isn’t that the point? And honestly, what’s more ‘too much’ than remaking a video for a song that already had a video?”
With its mix of self-awareness and feel-good vibes, London Bridge 2025 isn’t just a nostalgia trip—it’s proof that Fergie still knows how to own the moment.
