Adam Brody as Noah and Kristen Bell as Joanne in season two of Nobody Wants ThisNobody Wants This salved everybody’s souls last year thanks to its wholesome romance, silly humour and excellent casting in Adam Brody and Kristen Bell as leads Noah and Joanne.Like a much needed dose of on-screen vitamin D, season two of the show has just landed on Netflix featuring some new faces as well as the original line-up.Here’s who’s entering the Nobody Wants This universe and where you might recognise them from...Seth RogenSeth Rogen in Knocked UpSomehow in between sweeping the Emmys with his hit Apple TV+ comedy The Studio and starring in films Good Fortune and Animal Farm, Seth Rogen has also found the time this year to put in a shift for Nobody Wants This.He joins the cast as Rabbi Neil, a more progressive religious leader who has a potential job lined up for Noah at his Temple.
