Nobody Wants This season two added a couple of familiar faces to its cast.
On Thursday, Netflix unveiled the official trailer for the second season of Erin Foster‘s hit series, which features Adam Brody‘s hot rabbi, Noah, and Kristen Bell‘s agnostic Joanne as a still-in-love couple, who are going strong despite how the first season ended. However, we also see Noah and Joanne continue to face challenges in their relationship, since they don’t share the same faith. Their friends question whether Joanne is going to convert to Judaism, and she receives an awkward silence when she responds, “We’re going to do the interfaith thing.” Later in the trailer, Noah asks Joanne, “Are we doomed?”
Making their debut in the trailer are Leighton Meester and Seth Rogen, who serve as guest stars. Meester’s character Abby, is shown welcoming Noah and Joanne at a party. It was reported that Meester was playing Joanne’s former middle school nemesis. The actress is married to Brody in real life and starred on the CW series Gossip Girl, which Bell narrated. As for Rogen, he makes a brief appearance in the trailer, but he’s playing Rabbi Neil (pictured below). His addition comes on the heels of him and Brody competing in the latest Emmys season.
All 10 episodes of Nobody Wants This season two hit the streamer on Oct. 23.
Season one ended on a cliffhanger as Joanne was hesitant to convert to Judaism, despite Noah’s promotion to head rabbi. But it ended with a kiss, which left viewers wondering if he would choose love over a career, and if their love could prevail if Joanne doesn’t change her mind.
Here is the season two synopsis: “First comes love, then comes life. The last time we saw agnostic podcast host Joanne (Bell) and unconventional (hot) rabbi Noah (Brody), their unmatched chemistry surprised everyone in their lives, including her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons) and sister-in-law Esther (Jackie Tohn), and even themselves. Their spark proved stronger than all of the obstacles trying to keep them apart. Now, they’re back and fully committed to merging their lives — and loved ones — together. But their differences still exist and can’t be ignored. The challenge now is not just falling in love against all odds, but staying together in spite of them.”
In addition to Meester and Rogen, Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky, Arian Moayed and Kate Berlant are also season two guest stars. Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitchcock, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Emily Arlook, Sherry Cola, D’Arcy Carden and Shiloh Berman round out the cast.
Executive producers include Foster, Steven Levitan, Kristen Bell, Sara Foster, Danielle Stokdyk, Jeff Morton, Bruce Eric Kaplan, Jenni Konner and Nora Silver. Oly Obst is exec producer for 3 Arts. Kaplan and Konner serve as showrunners, and it’s produced by 20th Television.
