Captain LagbeardNetflix’s Nobody Wants This Season 2 Levels Up with Star-Studded Guest Appearances!
Netflix’s breakout romantic comedy Nobody Wants This is making waves yet again, and season 2 is shaping up to be bigger, funnier, and messier than ever.
The show, starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, quickly became a must-watch for rom-com lovers, and now, it’s bringing in some A-list guest stars to add even more spice to its already chaotic relationship dynamics.
Kristen Bell plays Joanne, a no-nonsense sex and dating podcaster who unexpectedly falls for a rabbi, Noah Roklov (played by Adam Brody).
Season 1 saw them navigating the hilarious and often cringeworthy challenges of their unconventional romance, and season 2 promises even more drama as their relationship faces new obstacles—this time in the form of fresh faces who are about to stir the pot.
Enter: Leighton Meester and Miles Fowler
According to Variety, Nobody Wants This season 2 is welcoming two guest stars who are sure to bring some delightful chaos: Gossip Girl royalty Leighton Meester and Man on the Inside actor Miles Fowler.
- Leighton Meester joins the cast as Abby, Joanne’s middle school nemesis, who has now transformed into a social media mommy influencer (because of course, she has). Abby is the kind of woman who posts aesthetic pictures of her organic oat milk lattes with captions like “#blessed,” and you just know Joanne is going to have a hard time dealing with her.
- Miles Fowler steps in as Lenny, Noah’s enthusiastic Matzah Ballers teammate, who gets set up with Morgan (played by Justine Lupe). If this sounds like a recipe for romantic disaster, that’s because it absolutely is.
Real-Life Couple, On-Screen Frenemies
One of the most exciting aspects of Meester’s casting is that she is actually married to Adam Brody in real life.
However, before anyone assumes this is a rom-com fantasy come to life, let’s clarify: she’s not playing his love interest.
Instead, she’s playing the woman Joanne has been holding a grudge against since middle school.
This means we’re in for some hilariously awkward confrontations, passive-aggressive Instagram shade, and possibly an entire episode dedicated to an intense, petty rivalry over who makes the better homemade granola bars.
The prospect of seeing Meester and Brody share the screen in a completely different dynamic than their real-life relationship is a treat for fans.
Their chemistry is undeniable, and it’ll be interesting to see them throw snark instead of love-struck glances.
The Chaos Continues: What’s in Store for Season 2?
While season 1 ended on a hopeful note, things are about to get complicated. Here’s what we can expect from season 2:
1. Joanne vs. Abby: A Social Media Showdown
Abby’s entrance into Joanne’s life is bound to reopen old wounds, forcing Joanne to deal with lingering insecurities from her teenage years.
And knowing Joanne, she won’t take Abby’s influencer perfection lying down.
Will she try to “out-influence” her? Start a podcast episode dedicated to exposing fake social media personas? The possibilities are endless.
2. Noah Plays Matchmaker… But It Might Backfire
With Miles Fowler’s Lenny being set up with Morgan, we might finally get some answers about what’s going on with Morgan and Noah’s brother, Sasha (played by Timothy Simons).
The love triangle (or maybe love square?) dynamic is bound to get messy, and we wouldn’t be surprised if Noah’s matchmaking attempts lead to more chaos than harmony.
3. More Laughs, More Drama, More Cringe-Worthy Situations
If season 1 proved anything, it’s that Nobody Wants This thrives on toe-curling awkwardness.
Whether it’s disastrous family dinners, unexpected romantic entanglements, or Joanne’s completely unfiltered opinions causing trouble, season 2 will undoubtedly keep viewers entertained.
What This Means for the Show’s Future
The addition of Meester and Fowler signals that Nobody Wants This is expanding its universe and investing in long-term storytelling.
With season 1 establishing the foundation, season 2 can now lean into more character-driven humor and fresh relationship dynamics.
Plus, it’s always a good sign when a series attracts well-known guest stars—it shows that people in the industry recognize its potential and want to be part of the fun.
Final Thoughts: Bring On the Chaos!
With Leighton Meester playing a picture-perfect, possibly insufferable influencer and Miles Fowler stepping into a tangled dating web, Nobody Wants This season 2 is primed to be an even bigger hit.
Fans of the show can expect laugh-out-loud moments, unexpected relationship twists, and of course, the signature witty, sarcastic humor that made season 1 such a success.
So, if you thought season 1 had its fair share of romantic misadventures, brace yourself—season 2 is about to take things to the next level.
And with Meester and Brody sharing the screen (in a rivalry instead of a romance), it’s guaranteed to be an absolute delight.
