Following the hit first season, the romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This is returning for a second series with an even star-studded cast.
The show features Adam Brody and Kristen Bell as leads, exploring the quirky romance between a unique American Rabbi and an agnostic woman who co-hosts a podcast on relationships.
Netflix has roped in Adam’s real-life spouse and Gossip Girl legend Leighton Meester as a guest star for series two. She’ll portray Abby, “Joanne’s (Bell) middle school nemesis who is now an Instagram mommy influencer.”
While it’s not confirmed if Leighton and Adam will appear together on-screen, fans would surely be disappointed if Netflix didn’t capitalise on the opportunity to unite the couple in the same scenes.
Joining them as a guest star is The Resident’s Miles Fowler, playing Lenny, “Noah’s Matzah Ballers teammate who gets set up with Morgan.”

Leighton and Adam are quite the team, having first met on the set of The Oranges in 2011 and subsequently co-starred in Life Partners and River Wild, reports the Mirror.
Nobody Wants This launched its inaugural season on the streaming service last September to fan and critical acclaim. Following the positive reception, the show was swiftly renewed for a second series just one month later.
Aside from Kristen and Adam, the show features stars like Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons and Jackie Tohn. The series boasts a 7.9 rating on IMDb from a whopping 55,000 votes and has snatched up a 94% Tomatometer rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes.
Viewers are over the moon about Leighton’s role in the series and have rushed to Reddit to share their glee. One fan gushed: “Can’t wait to see Leighton Meester in another comedy. She’s great in Single Parents and Making History.”

Another eager fan remarked: “Yay, I hope Leighton Meester will have a scene with Adam Brody, like they did in Single Parents.”
Meanwhile, someone else suggested: “Missed opportunity if they don’t get Dax Shepard to play Leighton Meester’s character’s husband to go full meta.”
Someone else couldn’t contain their excitement: “Oh stop, having Leighton is going to be so much fun. I adore this! ! ” And the enthusiasm keeps on rolling with another saying: “The millennial dream cast continues.”
Nobody Wants This season two will air in 2025, season one is available to stream on Netflix now
