Nobody Wants This casts two notable guest stars for season 2. The romantic comedy series starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody quickly became a major streaming success for Netflix. Bell plays Joanne, a sex and dating podcaster who begins dating a rabbi, Noah Roklov (Brody). Nobody Wants This season 2’s story will see Joanne and Noah continuing to develop their relationship and making it work despite opposition from some of their friends and family.
According to Variety, Leighton Meester and Miles Fowler are now joining the show as guest stars in season 2. Meester, who is married to Brody, is playing Abby, “Joanne’s middle school nemesis who is now an Instagram mommy influencer.” Fowler’s character is Lenny, “Noah’s (Brody) Matzah Ballers teammate who gets set up with Morgan (Justine Lupe).” Meester is known for playing Blair Waldorf in the CW’s Gossip Girl while Miles Fowler recently played Jaylen in Netflix’s Man on the Inside.
What This Means For Nobody Wants This
Abby And Lenny Can Fit Well In The Ongoing Story
Meester’s involvement adds a new dimension to the show as Brody will likely be sharing scenes with his wife. It will be intriguing to see how their onscreen dynamic contrasts with their real-life dynamic, especially since their characters will not be romantically involved. The rivalry between Meester’s character, Abby, and Joanne will be entertaining and comedic to watch. Their conflict extending back to middle school will probably force Joanne to confront some long-held insecurities that she will now need to face.
