Who's Back for 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2? Meet the Returning Cast

'Nobody Wants This' Season 2 is bringing back the drama — and the familiar faces viewers have come to love — on October 23.
Kristen Bell

Jennie Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan joined 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2 as new showrunners.
Nobody Wants This Season 2 brings back Kristen Bell, who plays Joanne, to the screen.
In an April interview with Gold Derby, Bell, 44, reflected on her portrayal of the lead character in the first season.
"[Joanne] wants to talk about everything from every angle, and that's very interesting from a critical thinking perspective," said Bell. "I think those people are really cool. But for Joanne, I think it started to, later in life, bite her in the butt because she's looking at so many different perspectives and questioning everything."
She added, "She's using that as an excuse not to identify her own values and who she is. I don't think she had any sense of who she was at the beginning of the show."
Adam Brody

Adam Brody shared what fans can expect from his character in the second season.
With Bell on board, Nobody Wants This Season 2 also welcomes back Adam Brody to the cast.
Before the release of the next installment, Brody opened up about the future of his and Bell's characters, saying, "In the light of day, will he still feel that way? I don't know. It's an open question."
As for what Nobody Wants This can explore, he asked, "What should he [his character, Noah] do? What should she do? What version of sacrifice is worth it? What constitutes growth, or what constitutes dimming yourself to be with someone else? It's a sacrifice, but ideally, you grow together and you're better for it — you don't have to [lop] off a limb."
