Leighton Meester and Miles Fowler are joining the cast of Nobody Wants This when the show returns for Season 2 on Netflix.
Meester will share credits with her real-life husband, Adam Brody. The Gossip Girl alum will play Abby, who the streamer describes as Joanne’s (Bell) “middle school nemesis” who cross paths now as adults.
Fowler is set to guest star as Noah’s (Brody) basketball teammate, who gets set up with Joanne’s sister Morgan, played by Justine Lupe.
Created by Erin Foster, Nobody Wants This follows 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. But also potentially between them, with their differing outlooks on life, all of the modern obstacles to love, and their sometimes well-meaning, sometimes sabotaging families — including her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe) and brother Sasha (Timothy Simons).
The series also features Stephanie Faracy, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Jackie Tohn, Emily Arlook, Sherry Cola, Shilo Bearman, and Stephen Tobolowsky.
Variety was the first to report the news of the Nobody Wants This Season 2 casting additions.
