We've Finally Got Clues About Leighton Meester’s Character in Nobody Wants This

We Finally Know What To Expect From Leighton Meester’s Character in Nobody Wants This.

Given its immediate success on Netflix, it's no surprise that Nobody Wants This season 2 is already in production and slated for a 2025 release. The show stars Kristen Bell as an agnostic sex podcaster Joanne who falls in love with rabbi Noah, played by Adam Brody, and it won viewers over instantly after its release last autumn. From the real-life stories behind the onscreen romance, to the fact that Adam's wife Leighton Meester is joining the cast for season 2, the world has been utterly hooked on every single detail.

In an interview with E! News, creator Erin Foster explained how they decided to bring Leighton into the show to star alongside her husband. In the upcoming season, the Gossip Girl star will play Joanne's high school nemesis and according to the creator, she's an 'underrated comedian'. In the interview, Foster said: "We came up with such a fun character. We went to Adam first, like, 'What do you think of this idea?' He was like, 'I think that she would be so great at it. Do it. Ask her.' And she was so game and so excited. She is an underrated comedian."
