Netflix's Nobody Wants This adds two comedy legends to cast of season 2

Netflix has confirmed two exciting names will be joining the cast of Nobody Wants This alongside Kristen Bell and Adam Brody.

The first 10-episode series followed Bell as Joanne, an opinionated sex and dating podcaster who falls for Brody’s newly single rabbi, Noah Roklov.

It quickly became a major hit for the streaming service, topping the charts after its release in September last year with over 15 million views in its first week.

A second season was quickly announced and is set to premiere on Netflix next month.

The streamer has now confirmed that comedy icons Seth Rogen and Kate Berlant will both guest star in the second season.

They’re joining previously announced stars Leighton Meester, Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky, and Arian Moayed making appearances.

Rogen is fresh off an incredible streak at this year’s Emmy Awards, where his new Apple TV+ comedy series The Studio picked up 13 awards.

Meanwhile, comedian Berlant’s new film Maddie’s Secret has recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and will be finishing off her summer comedy tour in Los Angeles later this month.

She has also starred in the films Don’t Worry, Darling and Duck Butter.

Co-showrunner Jenni Konner told Netflix: “[Seth] and Kate Berlant’s energy together was a dream.

“When you get brilliant people to come in, it makes your writing and the show better.”

And series creator Erin Foster said of the newcomers: “If we got lucky with our main cast, we got just as lucky with our guest stars.”

According to Tudum, season two of Nobody Wants This will explore how Joanne and Noah’s relationship “deepens” after their unexpected chemistry in the first outing.

Justine Lupe and Timothy Simons will both return as Joanne’s sister Morgan and Noah’s brother Sasha, respectively, while Jackie Tohn is also back as Sasha’s wife, Esther.

Nobody Wants This season 2 premieres Thursday, 23rd October on Netflix.
