What's the story

Netflix has confirmed Gossip Girl actor Leighton Meester will guest star in the second season of her husband Adam Brody's popular series, Nobody Wants This. The romantic-comedy series, which premiered in September last year, follows Joanne (Kristen Bell), a candid podcast host, and Noah (Brody), an attractive rabbi who catches her attention. Meester's involvement has certainly raised the excitement for the show's return.

Character details

Meester to play Bell's rival in 'Nobody Wants This' S02

Per Variety, Meester will play Abby, described as Joanne's "middle school nemesis who is now an Instagram mommy influencer." The first season ended with Noah choosing between his future as head rabbi and his relationship with Joanne, and he chose the latter. The complexities of this decision will likely be delved into in the next season, but Abby's role in the story remains unclear.

Cast expansion

New additions to 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2 cast

The second season of Nobody Wants This will also see Miles Fowler (Bottoms) as Lenny, a teammate of Noah's from the Matzah Ballers. Lenny is set up with Morgan (Justine Lupe), who has an unusual relationship with Noah's brother, Sasha (Timothy Simons). These new characters are likely to add more layers to the show's narrative and dynamics.
