Netflix has officially perfected the art of the cameo. From surprise appearances in Emily in Paris to scene-stealers in The Crown, it’s now Nobody Wants This has upped the ante with its season 2 cast reveal.
The beloved rom-com returns October 23, 2025, with fan-favourite faces, buzzy guest stars, and the kind of comedic star power that guarantees another round of binge-worthy drama. Oh, and did we mention Seth Rogen is officially joining?
Which Cast Are Returning For Nobody Wants This Season 2?
Netflix confirmed that Kristen Bell (Joanne) and Adam Brody (Noah) will once again anchor the series, alongside Justine Lupe (Morgan), Timothy Simons (Sasha), and Jackie Tohn (Esther). Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitchcock, Paul Ben-Victor, Sherry Cola, and Tovah Feldshuh are all back in recurring roles, ensuring the extended Nobody Wants This universe stays in tact.
The cast have already hinted at their enthusiasm for round two. Speaking to Tudum creator Erin Foster said, “If we got lucky with our main cast, we got just as lucky with our guest stars”.
All signs point to a sophomore season that knows exactly how to raise the romantic stakes.
Nobody Wants This Season 2 New Cast Members
Season 2’s newcomers bring plenty of drama, comedy and chaos to the mix, with roles that promise to shake up Joanne and Noah’s world.
- Leighton Meester as Abby (Joanne’s middle-school nemesis turned mommy influencer)
- Miles Fowler as Lenny (Noah’s basketball teammate and Morgan’s potential match)
- Alex Karpovsky as Big Noah (charismatic rabbi)
- Arian Moayed as Dr. Andy (self-assured psychotherapist)
- Seth Rogen in a guest role (fresh off The Studio Emmy sweep)
- Kate Berlant in a guest role
Who Is Seth Rogen In Nobody Wants This?
Netflix is keeping Seth Rogen’s role tightly under wraps- for now.
Fresh off his Emmy sweep for The Studio, the comedian, writer, and actor best known for cult comedies like Superbad, Pineapple Express, and Neighbours will make a guest appearance in Season 2, alongside fellow newcomer Kate Berlant.
While details are scarce, Rogen’s unexpected addition is already being billed as one of the show’s biggest curveballs. Given his track record for scene-stealing cameos, fans are bracing for a character who could easily shake up Joanne and Noah’s world in all the right (or wrong) ways.
Who Is Leighton Meester In Nobody Wants This?
Perhaps the most meta casting twist comes via Gossip Girl alum Leighton Meester, who joins the show as Abby – Joanne’s childhood nemesis and now a polished Instagram mommy influencer.
Foster told Tudum, “Getting to create such a fun role for Leighton to play and getting to write her and Adam (Brody) in a scene together was such a thrill for the writers’ room.” The reunion marks the first time real-life spouses Meester and Brody share the screen since Single Parents, and fans are already bracing for the chemistry.
What to Expect in Season 2 Of Nobody Wants This
Season 2 picks up where Joanne and Noah’s unconventional love story left off, but with higher stakes and wilder dynamics.
Old grudges resurface in the form of Leighton Meester’s Abby, new romances threaten to upend the group’s fragile balance, and Seth Rogen’s mystery cameo hangs like a promise of chaos to come.
With frenemies, flirtations, and family feuds colliding, the next chapter feels less like a rom-com reset and more like the messy, irresistible sequel fans have been waiting for.
Where to Watch
Season 2 of Nobody Wants This premieres October 23, 2025, on Netflix. All episodes will be available to stream, so whether you’re in it for Kristen Bell and Adam Brody’s slow-burn chemistry or simply curious about Seth Rogen’s mystery role, consider your next binge officially sorted.
In the interim you can brush up on the first season here.
