Brett Greenstein and Collin Daniel of Greenstein/Daniel Casting are responsible for some of TV’s most joyous ensembles, from the Hulu comedy “Shrill” to Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever.” Stil, Daniel says that their latest project – the Netflix rom-com “Nobody Wants This” – is a new experience. “It’s the biggest hit show we’ve ever done, and it’s thrilling to see its worldwide success,” says Daniel.

Created by Erin Foster, the series stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody as a seemingly mismatched couple – she’s an agnostic host of a sex podcast, he’s a Rabbi. Though the two share immediate chemistry, they have to overcome their differences and the skepticism of friends and family to navigate the new relationship. Much of the show hinges on the chemistry of the two leads, and Bell and Brody have worked together before in the films “Scream 4”, “CHiPs”, and...

Whatta night! Producers and showrunners from “The Last of Us,” “Severance,” “Paradise,” “The Pitt,” “Nobody Wants This,” “Abbott Elementary,” “Hacks,” “Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story,” “The Penguin” and more shows swapped stories at Variety’s A Night in the Writers’ Room event on June 5 at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills.

For the first time, we collected the audio from the evening’s three panels devoted to drama, comedy and limited series, and included them as a bonus edition of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast. Listen below!

Congrats to associate publisher Donna Pennestri and her team for organizing a great event, which boasted three lively panels as moderated by Emily Longeretta, Jazz Tangcay and Michael Schneider.

This past year has presented us with an ever-changing landscape in our industry. Writers are pushing boundaries, telling diverse stories, and exploring new formats that captivate viewers in ways we could only dream of a decade ago.

Adam Brody has returned to The O.C. — or at least, to the O.C.!

The beloved actor, who first made his name as teen Seth Cohen on the hit Fox series of that name, which ran from 2003-07, returned to the titular region of California on Friday to accept the inaugural Newport Beach TV Fest’s Performer of the Year Award (Actor) for his portrayal of a rabbi on the Netflix rom-com Nobody Wants This, his biggest hit since The O.C. went off the air. First, though, he recorded an episode of THR‘s Awards Chatter podcast in front of an audience of adoring fans — including his wife, Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester — which you can hear below.

Brody, who was born in San Diego, moved to Los Angeles, more or less spontaneously, around his 19th birthday, stepping away from a job at Blockbuster and dreams of a career as a pro surfer.

For “Nobody Wants This” creator/executive producer Erin Foster, when it came time to figure out where to shoot her Netflix comedy “Nobody Wants This,” she had some leverage in her back pocket: Star Kristen Bell.

“Shooting in L.A. is hard and really expensive,” Foster told the audience on Thursday at Variety’s A Night in the Writers Room event. “We were only able to shoot in L.A. because Kristen Bell has kids here that are in school here. And she’s like, ‘I won’t shoot anywhere else.’”

Foster said Netflix and 20th TV, which is behind “Nobody Wants This,” quickly agreed. “They’re like, ‘well, then we’re shooting where you want to shoot,’” she told the A Night in the Writers’ Room audience. “We got very lucky that she wants to be home with her kids. She wants to come to work, she wants to live in LA.

For any good rom-com, chemistry is key, as Netflix's smash hit series Nobody Wants This so delightfully demonstrates. But it isn’t just the romantic relationship between leading love interests Joanne (Kristin Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody) that gives the show its spark: The crackling repartee between sisters and podcasting partners Joanne and Morgan (Justine Lupe) — calling each other out with affection, mostly — proved just as crucial to the show's appeal, and that special alchemy was almost instantaneous.

"I've got to be honest: I feel like it happened pretty quickly!" Lupe told Gold Derby at a recent FYC event for the series at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, where she and castmates Bell, Brody, Timothy Simons and Jackie Tohn joined series creator Erin Foster and her sister Sara Foster, also a producer on the show, to record an episode of their own real-life podcast.

"I think Kristen's such an incredible actress,...

After its debut last September, Netflix’s Nobody Wants This quickly turned into one of the year’s buzziest and most beloved new series. The woman behind the show, Erin Foster, says when creating the series that stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, she set aside any expectations and simply followed her heart.

“I didn’t write this pilot for anybody else,” she tells Gold Derby. “I didn’t write it for someone else’s taste. I wasn’t listening to criticism or chasing a trend. I just wrote the story that I wanted to tell in my style of writing.”

That authenticity is precisely what’s resonated with audiences — and with critics. Nobody Wants This recently picked up multiple nominations across key awards, including a Critics’ Choice win for Brody, and is in strong contention to land Emmy nominations.

Foster credits the show’s success to her decision to...

After months of speculation, the Season 2 premiere date of Netflix's hit romantic comedy, Nobody Wants This, has been revealed. And it's exactly when we thought it might be — the streamer just waited for the Kristen Bell and Adam Brody-starring show to have its For Your Consideration moment in order to announce it officially. The show's executive producers and cast made the premiere date known on Sunday on stage at Netflix's Fysee Emmy event celebrating Season 1 in Los Angeles.

In news that was also revealed via press release (but we first saw in The Hollywood Reporter), Nobody Wants This will see its Season 2 premiere on October 23, 2025. It's an exciting development for fans of the series, which hit the streaming service in late 2024 but became an instant success thanks to its likable cast and fantastic writing. In a world that tends to under-serve and under-appreciate romantic comedies, Nobody Wants This is a gift.

The stars of Nobody Wants This are stepping out to promote their hit show!

One thing is clear from the response to Netflix’s Nobody Wants This, and that is the fact that the reverse of the title is very true.

Thus, the renewal of the series for a second season, which has already added some extra star power in the form of new characters and cast members. After the first season of the show arrived on Netflix in Sept. 2024, there will be a bit of a wait for the next installment.

Nobody Wants This Season 1 was a major hit for Netflix. The rom-com series starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody was instantly successful, kicking off a new series of rom-com films and shows.

Nobody Wants This premiered with a near-perfect score, and just a few weeks after its premiere, it scored a renewal for Season 2. The rom-com series, created by Erin Foster, followed an agnostic, loud woman who co-hosts a sex podcast, and falls in love with a rabbi. Now, it's been revealed that Season 2 will officially premiere on Netflix on Oct. 23, 2025. The news was announced on the stage at Netflix's Fysee LA Emmy Event at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles on Sunday.

If you missed it, back in early April, Kristen, Adam and Justine were all spotted on set filming for the upcoming new season, where they were seemingly filming either a Halloween episode, or a Purim episode, which is a Jewish holiday where you also dress up in costumes.

Regardless of who wants it, we're getting it. Netflix has officially announced that the romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This, starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, will return later this year for Season 2. Netflix revealed the October 23 premiere date at the Fysee LA Emmy Event, celebrating Season 1. The announcement came with a video from the cast asking questions to a special Nobody Wants This-themed magic eight-ball with Bell, Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn. Questions like "will we have another iconic kiss this season?" and "Will Morgan find love this season?" and finally "What's happening on October 23?" and that's when the cast reveals that Season 2 releases that day.

Season 1 of Nobody Wants This saw incredible success right up front, spending 6 weeks in Netflix’s Global English Top 10 TV List. It also landed in the Top 10 in 89 countries. From the time it hit the streamer in September of last...

Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah’s (Adam Brody) budding romance continues in Season 2 of “Nobody Wants This,” which is set to premiere globally Oct. 23 on Netflix. The release date was announced by the cast and crew at an Emmys FYC event for the show’s first season.

Loosely inspired by the real-life story of creator Erin Foster, the first season followed the unlikely pairing between an agnostic outspoken podcaster and an unconventional rabbi after meeting at a dinner party. After 10 episodes of exploring the couple’s on-and-off again romance, the Season 1 finale concluded with an uncertain future between the duo after Joanne revealed she wasn’t ready to convert to Judaism.

The original Season 1 cast will return alongside a few new additions. Leighton Meester will guest star as Abby, an Instagram mommy influencer and Joanne’s childhood nemesis. Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky and Arian Moayed will also appear in the upcoming season.

Netflix know that a lot of somebodies want this. The second season of “Nobody Wants This” will premiere October 23. The show first dropped on the streamer last September to sparkling reviews, with IndieWire’s Proma Khosla praising the chemistry between leads Kristen Bell and Adam Brody.

The show, created by Erin Foster, finds Joanne and Noah (Brody) in a would-be conventional love story complicated by Noah’s position as a rabbi. Popular podcaster Joanne isn’t just not Jewish, she’s also unreligious generally — as is her entire non-traditional family. As Noah and Joanne attempt to acclimate to each other’s worlds, and Joanne explores converting, things get complicated — to put it lightly.

20th Television is the studio.

In Nobody Wants This, an agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi on the rebound walk into a party. When they walk out — together — the unlikely pair, Joanne (Bell) and Noah (Brody), can tell there is something between them.

It’s safe to assume Leighton Meester doesn’t look at her relationship with Adam Brody through such an iconic lens as maybe everyone else does.

On the outside, fans see the stars of two of the biggest shows from the early aughts — Gossip Girl and The O.C. — ended up together in real life, but to them, their relationship is actually much more low-key. It’s one of the reasons why Meester said they opted for a smaller wedding.

“On sets and in life, I’ve been able to wear a fancy dress and hit a mark and say lines, and I didn’t want it to feel like that,” she recently told Bustle. “I wanted it to feel intimate and private.”

Meester and Brody — who share a daughter and son together — tied the knot in a private wedding in 2014, and have continued to keep much of their personal life out of the spotlight.

Nobody Wants This is a romantic comedy-drama series created by Erin Foster. The Netflix series follows Noah Roklov, a young rabbi looking to advance in Synagogue, and Joanne, a sex and dating podcaster who has an instant connection after meeting at a dinner hosted by one of their friends, but their different values get in the way of their potential relationship. Nobody Wants This stars Adam Brody,...

There will be more to love when Netflix’s smash-hit rom-com, Nobody Wants This, returns for Season 2. Creator Erin Foster spoke to IndieWire about what fans can expect when unconventional lovers Noah (Adam Brody) and Joanne (Kristen Bell) make it back to the small screen. Foster based the show on her own relationship with her husband, as the show follows a Rabbi who falls in love with a podcaster with no religious affiliation. Nobody Wants This was a match made in early aughts nostalgia heaven with the casting of Brody and Bell, and viewers can expect more of the same when the show returns, as Foster shared with the outlet.

“It’s gonna be romantic and funny. I’m not in the business of depriving people of what they want on a show like this, and making some like, artistic choice to rob you of what you want to see.

Season 2 of Netflix’s Nobody Wants This has wrapped filming, and the confirmation came alongside exciting behind-the-scenes photos. Heartthrob actors Kristen Bell and Adrian Brody made a comeback last year with the release of Nobody Wants This, a great Netflix romantic comedy about a Rabbi named Noah and an atheist sex podcaster named Joanne falling in love. The show quickly became a fan favorite, and Netflix, unsurprisingly, picked up Nobody Wants This season 2.

News has slowly trickled out about the second season, and luckily it seems that audiences won’t have to wait too much longer. Jackie Tohn, who plays Esther in the cast of Nobody Wants This, confirmed on May 13, 2025, that filming had wrapped for season 2.

Series creator Erin Foster has just wrapped the second season of her Netflix smash hit, “Nobody Wants This.” No, really, just: the team behind the Adam Brody- and Kristen Bell-starring romantic comedy, based on Foster’s own life and marriage, called cut Monday night at midnight, LA time. Eleven hours later, Foster was on Zoom with IndieWire to talk about the success of the first season of the show and to tease as much as humanly possible about what’s going to unspool in the upcoming, and much-anticipated sophomore season.

Right away, Foster has a promise and a vow: it’s going to be more of what people love. And why shouldn’t it be? The show, which hit the streamer last fall, was an instant hit (hitting the number one slot on Netflix’s own lists within its first full week in release and earning glowing critical...

Netflix is launching its own two-week TV festival to toast its hit series, this year moving it to Los Angeles.

The studio announced the inaugural fest, titled Fysee LA, that will take place across Los Angeles from May 17 to June 2. The casts of series such as “Adolescence,” “Squid Game,” “Nobody Wants This,” and “Black Mirror” will be in attendance, with a special taping of “Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney” opening the festival at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, California.

Fysee LA will host a dedicated festival headquarters with special marathon screenings and a destination for crafts, with events tailored to Emmy voters. Netflix emphasized that Fysee LA will support local businesses that were impacted by the 2024 wildfires; initiatives include highlighting restaurants, coffee shops, florists, and more as the festival brings voters to various locations in the city. The festival especially will celebrate Los Angeles-based Netflix productions as well, such as “Running Point,...

Netflix’s Fysee is on the move. Looking to spotlight Los Angeles, which is still recovering from the devastating wildfires, the annual FYC showcase of the streamer’s top Emmy contenders will take place at various locations throughout the city from Saturday, May 17 to Monday, June 2. Festival events for Fysee: LA will be held at theaters and other landmarks in Santa Monica, Hollywood, Pasadena, Eagle Rock, The Valley, South Central and beyond.

When Netflix does things, it tends to do them in a very big way. And that certainly applies to the streamer’s campaign plans for this Emmy season, which were shared on Thursday.

The company, via its Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney host John Mulaney, announced that during the two weeks between Saturday, May 17, and Monday, June 2, it will host Fysee LA, a festival for which it will take over theaters and iconic locations throughout the city of Los Angeles in order to bring together TV Academy members and Netflix’s Emmy-contending talent.

Kristen Bell remembers the moment she had an inkling that Nobody Wants This might hit different. Screeners of the Netflix rom-com series had been sent out to press over the summer prior to its Sept. 26 launch.

"I started getting calls like, 'We've never seen a response this rabid from critics before,'" Bell tells Gold Derby. "So that immediately changed what our press tour looked like. They were like, 'Well, you're gonna do quite a bit more press than you thought you were going to do. So please block off the entire month of August and the entire month of September to get out in front of the show because we think it could be a real hit.'"

And it was. The series became an immediate sensation its first weekend and was quickly renewed for a second season. For Bell, a veteran of beloved but little-watched shows like Veronica Mars and The Good Place,...

The past few years have seen an explosion of celebrity brands, producing everything from tequila to lipstick to luggage. But few of the top celeb-fronted companies are earning high scores for sustainability, if a review of the eco-ratings platform Good on You is to be believed.

Founded in Australia in 2015, Good on You judges fashion and beauty companies across the globe according to three main criteria: people (labor practices), planet (environmental initiatives) and animals (welfare). Performance in each of these areas contributes to an overall rating, ranging from “Great” (a 5/5 rating) to “We avoid” (1/5). More than 6,000 brands have been rated so far, with staffers generally endeavoring to update scores every 12 to 18 months to judge progress (or backsliding, as the case may be).

We already know Netflix’s hit comedy Nobody Wants This is coming back for a second season, but it seems the show’s creator is already looking ahead to season 3!

Speaking with People at the 2025 Fashion Scholarship Fund Gala in New York City on April 7, Nobody Wants This creator Erin Foster seemed to hint that a third season is already in the works when discussing a possible cameo on the show.

"I always thought that it'd be fun to do that, but I never created a character that I thought was the perfect character,” Foster told People when asked about making a cameo in the hit Netflix series. “Maybe season 3, Morgan [Justine Lupe] and Joanne [Kristen Bell] go on sabbatical and then it's us," she added, referring to her sister, Sara Foster, who serves as an executive producer on the show.

While we love the cameo idea, what stands out...

A Nobody Want This creator is open to the possibility of appearing on season 3 of the show with another producer.

42-year-old producer Erin Foster reacted to the idea of making a cameo alongside her sister, executive producer Sara Foster, in the hit Netflix comedy series.

“I always thought that it’d be fun to do that, but I never created a character that I thought was the perfect character,” Erin told People.

Sara, 44, then chimed in with a creative plot idea.

“Maybe season 3, Morgan and Joanne go on sabbatical and then it’s us. We replace them,” she said, referring to lead characters played by Kristen Bell and Justine Lupe.

“I’m always ready [for a cameo], but no one seems to be,” Erin joked.

If you didn’t know, Nobody Wants This is based on the real-life love story between Erin and her husband Simon Tikhman.

Erin Foster may step in front of the camera for season 3 of Nobody Wants This, the Netflix series she created and co-produces with her sister Sara Foster.

Speaking at the 2025 Fashion Scholarship Fund Gala, Erin said the idea of appearing on the show has come up before but hasn’t moved forward. “I always thought that it’d be fun to do that, but I never created a character that I thought was the perfect character,” she told People.

Sara, who serves as an executive producer on the series, chimed in with a suggestion. “[Sisters] Morgan [Justine Lupe] and Joanne [Kristen Bell] go on sabbatical and then it’s us.” Erin responded, “Oh, we just replace them.”

The half-hour comedy is loosely based on Erin’s relationship with her husband, Simon Tikhman. It follows the fictional pairing of rabbi Noah (Adam Brody) and sex podcaster Joanne (Kristen Bell), as they navigate...

Erin Foster might show up in an episode of the hit Netflix series “Nobody Wants This” — if she or her sister Sara, the show’s executive producer, can come up with the right character and storyline.

While speaking to People at the 2025 Fashion Scholarship Fund Gala, Erin, who created the series for the streamer, said, “I always thought that it’d be fun to do that, but I never created a character that I thought was the perfect character.”

“Maybe season 3, [sisters] Morgan [Justine Lupe] and Joanne [Kristen Bell] go on sabbatical and then it’s us,” her sister offered to which Erin answered, “Oh, we just replace them.”

“Nobody Wants This” was inspired by Erin’s actual life with her husband Simon Tikhman. The series follows the love story of rabbi Noah (Adam Brody) and agnostic sex podcaster Joanne (Bell) as they navigate religion, culture, and trying to build a relationship that has legs.

Netflix's hit comedy, the Adam Brody and Kristen Bell-starring Nobody Wants This, is well into production on the series' second installment. And, given the popularity of the "loosely based on a true story" tale from Erin Foster, it's probably no surprise to anyone that the streaming service is eyeing an Asap release date for Season 2. With production slated to wrap in April of this year, it seems as though a primetime, fall release date is a given for the popular series.

According to the blog What's On Netflix, the streamer is allegedly eyeing an October 2025 premiere date for the show's second season. Which will no doubt be music to the ears of the users who helped contribute to Nobody Wants This amassing approximately 56.8 million views in 2024 alone. While Netflix has yet to confirm anything, we would not be surprised if it makes all of this official when they...

The Netflix show about a hot rabbi named Noah (Brody) and an agnostic podcaster, Joanne (Bell), falling in love became a breakout hit for the streamer when it debuted in September 2024. The series was quickly renewed two weeks after season one released.

Season two will premiere later this year, with a specific date yet to be announced.

Nobody Wants This spent six weeks in Netflix’s Global English Top 10 TV List, reaching the Top 10 in 89 countries.

After debuting to critical and popular acclaim last September, Netflix’s rom-com series Nobody Wants This is getting very close to the start of production on Season 2. So what can star Adam Brody tease?

“Very little,” he admitted tonight, in conversation with Deadline on the SAG Awards red carpet. “I think repercussions from [Noah] choosing maybe love over work. He’s going to grapple with that. That’s about as much as I know, to be honest with you.”

Created by and exec produced by Erin Foster, Nobody Wants This explores the unconventional romance between Joanne, a candid agnostic podcaster portrayed by Kristen Bell, and Brody’s unconventional rabbi, Noah Roklov. Inspired by Foster’s relationship with husband Simon Tikhman, the show’s Season 1 finale saw Noah at a crossroads, as Joanne decided, after much contemplation, against converting to Judaism, in a move that leads to the couple’s breakup.

Nobody Wants This is shaping up to have an exciting second season thanks to some big announcements about the cast.

In season one – only four actors had “series regular” status, but that is going to change for the second season. We also know about some new cast members who have been added.

Also, there will be two new showrunners for season two with Girls‘ Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan will be taking over from Jack Burditt. The show’s creator Erin Foster will be back for season two as an executive producer and writer.

Nobody Wants This follows Kristen Bell‘s Joanne falling in love with a rabbi named Noah, played by Adam Brody. At the end of the first season, Joanne realizes she’s not ready to convert to Judaism to be with Noah and tries to break up with him as she wants him to take the head rabbi position.

Alongside Ed Westwick's Chuck, Leighton Meester's Blair was the ultimate fan-favorite character in Gossip Girl. Now, Meester is bringing the "Queen B" energy to a different hit show.

Although Meester has just reunited with The CW for a brand-new show, Good Cop/ Bad Cop, where she co-stars with Luke Cook and Clancy Brown, the actress has secured yet a brand-new role. This will include a switchover to Netflix, as Meester has officially joined the streaming service's hit rom-com series Nobody Wants This in a guest role, Variety reports. It also comes with a sweet twist.
