Leighton Meester Joins Netflix's Nobody Wants Season 2 Stirring Drama

Leighton Meester will guest star in the second season of the Netflix rom-com series Nobody Wants This, playing Abby, a former middle school rival of Kristen Bell's character Joanne. The show centers on the relationship between Noah, a newly single rabbi played by Adam Brody, Meester's real-life husband, and Joanne, as they navigate cultural differences and the challenges of blending their lives. Meester described her role as stirring up drama and said filming was one of the most fun experiences she has had on a set, praising the kindness and talent of the cast and crew. Though Meester shares the screen with Brody, most of her scenes are reportedly with Bell and Justine Lupe, adding to the dynamic of the storyline. The new season promises to explore the couple's deeper commitment while testing their bond, with Meester's character bringing new tensions. Season 2 premieres on October 23, 2025, following a well-received first season and a dramatic cliffhanger.
