The second season of Netflix’s hit romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This has gained two new cast members with Variety reporting that Leighton Meester (How I Met Your Father) and Miles Fowler (A Man on the Inside) will star alongside Kristen Bell and Adam Brody.
Nobody Want This premiered on Netflix last September and quickly became a huge hit for the streamer, gaining a second season renewal just a couple weeks after its premiere. The series follows Bell and Brody’s Joanne and Noah, a pair of adults who begin an unlikely romance despite their differing views on life and religion as well as family who try to break them up.
Meester, who is married to Brody, is set to play Abby, “Joanne’s (Bell) middle school nemesis who is now an Instagram mommy influencer.” Fowler will guest star as Lenny, “Noah’s (Brody) Matzah Ballers teammate who gets set up with Morgan (Justine Lupe).”
The casting news comes hot on the heels of Brody’s recent Best Actor win for his role as Noah at the Critics Choice Awards, where he also thanked Meester for her support on the show.
Nobody Wants This was created by Erin Foster, who also served as showrunner for the first season but is taking a step back for season two where she will remain an executive producer. The upcoming season will be showrun by Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, both of whom will also executive produce.
Will they? Won’t they? Should they? An agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi on the rebound walk into a party. When they walk out — together — the unlikely pair, Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody), can tell there is something between them. But also potentially between them, with their differing outlooks on life, all of the modern obstacles to love, and their sometimes well-meaning, sometimes sabotaging families — including her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe) and his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons).
Nobody Wants This features Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons with Jackie Tohn upped to a series regular role for season two.
