Adam Brody, the heartthrob from *The O.C.*, recently opened up about his experience filming the first season of the hit Hulu series *Nobody Wants This*. While he’s proud of the show’s success, he confessed to *Vanity Fair* that he wishes he’d pushed himself to be funnier in his role as the charming Rabbi Noah.
He acknowledged his character’s grounded nature, but still felt there was room for more comedic moments. This desire for more humor sets the stage for his hopes for season two, which premieres this October. Fans can anticipate a continuation of Noah’s romance with Kristen Bell’s character, Joanne. Brody expressed some trepidation about maintaining the initial spark of their relationship now that they’re further along in their romance, but he’s ultimately optimistic.
Season two promises even more excitement with the addition of Leighton Meester, Brody’s real-life wife, as a guest star. She’ll be playing Abby, Joanne’s middle school nemesis and Instagram mommy influencer. Brody’s advice to the writers? Lean into the comedy! And it seems they did just that, as both Brody and creator Erin Foster have praised Meester’s performance. Kristen Bell herself teased Leighton’s involvement, hinting at fun storylines and assuring fans that their off-screen friendship won’t be affected by their on-screen rivalry.
