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.

As for Fowler’s character, Lenny, he can help answer one of Nobody Wants This season 2’s biggest questions, which is what will happen between Morgan and Noah’s brother, Sasha (Timothy Simons). Morgan dating Lenny indicates that she will not be pursuing a romantic relationship with Sasha despite her having interest in him. Noah may be trying to get ahead of this catastrophe by setting up Lenny with Morgan, as he does not want her or Sasha to jeopardize his own relationship with Joanne.

Our Take On The New Guest Stars In Nobody Wants This

They Make Season 2 Even More Intriguing

It is exciting to see the Nobody Wants This cast continuing to grow, along with getting a better idea of where season 2’s story is headed. Abby will provide conflict for Joanne that will undoubtedly seep into her relationship with Noah. Lenny can help disrupt the Morgan and Sasha relationship from getting out of hand, as a romantic relationship between them would never work, and would only create problems for them and their loved ones. Meester and Fowler may only be the first of more well-known guest stars to join Nobody Wants This season 2.
