Today, during the Netflix Upfront presentation in New York City, Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria announced the title of the upcoming comedy series starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, Nobody Wants This. Formerly known as Untitled Erin Foster Show, the series will premiere on September 26, 2024.
A comedy centered on the unlikely relationship between an outspoken, agnostic woman, Joanne (Kristen Bell), and an unconventional rabbi, Noah (Adam Brody).
Quote from Creator/Co-Showrunner/Executive Producer Erin Foster, as told exclusively to TUDUM: “This show is based on the only good decision I ever made: falling for a nice Jewish boy. But I realized that being happy is way harder than being miserable (there’s nothing to complain about). So, I created this show based on all the ways that finding the right person can be so hard. Nobody Wants This, but we do, and that’s all that matters.”
Previously Announced Cast: Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, Stephanie Faracy, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Michael Hitchcock, Jackie Tohn, Sherry Cola, Shiloh Bearman
In a recasting, Emily Arlook (GROWNISH, YOU PEOPLE, BIG TIME ADOLESCENCE) will recur on Nobody Wants This as “Rebecca,” Noah’s “perfect” Jewish girlfriend who has done “everything right” to get him to propose. Headshot can be downloaded here.
