Nobody Wants This Season 2 Cast Details
Will Kristen Bell & Adam Brody Return?
The cast of Nobody Wants This was perhaps its strongest asset, and the chemistry between stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody has all the hallmarks of a classic rom-com power couple. With that in mind, Bell will need to return as the strong-willed agnostic, Joanne, while Brody should be back as the unorthodox rabbi, Noah. Along with the main duo, the ensemble of Nobody Wants This is just as important, including Joanne’s sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), Noah’s brother Sasha (Timothy Simons) and Jackie Tohn as Esther, Noah’s sister-in-law.
The presumptive cast of Nobody Wants This season 2 includes:
| Actor | Nobody Wants This Role | |
|---|---|---|
| Kristen Bell | Joanne |

Nobody Wants This Season 2 Story Details
What’s Next For Noah & Joanne?
The conclusion of season 1 left the couple on shaky ground at best, and there are still plenty of lingering questions that will need to be addressed in Nobody Wants This season 2. Season 1 ended with Joanne deciding to convert to Judaism, but then walking away when she learned what being the wife of a Rabbi would really mean, and how unprepared she was to take on that role. However, like all good romances, the couple reconnected at the last moment, when Noah followed her and told her that he would put her first – and that she was the priority to him.
Season 2, then, promises to explore their relationship beyond the initial phase, and into more serious territory – including how, exactly, this is going to work. It’s not entirely clear if the big romantic declaration means that Noah is going to give up his job for Joanne, although that’s heavily implied, so what else he might do could be an interesting angle for the new season. Family dynamics are also sure to take central stage, as well as the incredibly interesting relationship between Sasha and Morgan. If Morgan was single, it would be clear that the show was angling to have them connect romantically, but as a married man, it’s more likely that the show is going to dig into the complexities of their friendship – and how his wife may feel about it.
Whichever direction the story goes, it’s clear that the new season is going to continue to handle the subject matter with humor and sensitivity, and some phenomenally funny moments.
