Meanwhile Fowler will be “Noah’s (Brody) Matzah Ballers teammate who gets set up with Morgan (Justine Lupe).”

“An agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi on the rebound walk into a party. When they walk out — together — the unlikely pair, Joanne (Bell) and Noah (Brody), can tell there is something between them. But also potentially between them, with their differing outlooks on life, all of the modern obstacles to love, and their sometimes well-meaning, sometimes sabotaging families — including her sister Morgan (Lupe) and his brother Sasha (Simons),” reads the synopsis for the series.

Is there a season 2 of Nobody Wants This?

It was confirmed by Netflix in October 2024 that there would be a second season of Nobody Wants This, which would be coming to the platform in 2025.

What is "Nobody Wants This" based on?

The series is inspired by the show’s creator, Erin Foster’s own love story with her husband, who she met in her 30s and also practices Judaism like Brody’s character, who is a Rabbi.
