Adam Brody recently shared his insights about Seth Rogen’s improvisational style in the second season of the Netflix series, *Nobody Wants This*. In a candid interview, Brody discussed Rogen’s vibrant presence on set and how it enhanced the show’s appeal.
Seth Rogen’s Energy in *Nobody Wants This*
Brody, who plays rabbi Noah, described Rogen’s performance as refreshing. He appreciated the spontaneity Rogen brought to his scenes with guest star Kate Berlant. “He just let it rip,” Brody remarked. The absence of a strict script allowed Rogen and Berlant to explore their characters freely, creating an engaging atmosphere for the cast and audience alike.
Plot Overview of Season Two
In the second season of *Nobody Wants This*, Noah and his girlfriend, Joanne, portrayed by Kristen Bell, navigate their contrasting beliefs. Noah’s search for a progressive temple leads him to Rogen’s character, Neil, and Berlant’s character, Cami. This progressive temple represents a different approach to religion, which challenges Noah’s more traditional views.
Brody’s Praise for Rogen
- Brody referred to Rogen’s character, a “rock ‘n’ roll rabbi,” as a stark contrast to Noah’s uptight persona.
- Brody praised Rogen’s comedic talent and his relatable Jewish identity, stating, “I think he’s just a great fit.”
Recognition at the Emmys
In 2025, both actors received recognition at the Emmys for their roles in comedy series. Rogen won the award for his performance as Matt Remick in *The Studio*. This accolade underscores both actors’ significant contributions to the comedy genre.
Leighton Meester’s Guest Appearance
This season also features Leighton Meester, who plays Abby, Joanne’s middle school rival. Notably, she is married to Brody in real life. The show’s creator, Erin Foster, was eager to rewrite Meester’s episode so that she could have scenes with Brody.
Foster shared, “When [Meester] said yes, I went back into the script… I really wanted him to say, ‘She’s not my type.’” This humorous exchange highlights the collaborative effort to create memorable moments in the series.
Overall, the dynamics between the cast members, particularly Rogen and Brody, promise to deliver an engaging viewing experience in the upcoming episodes of *Nobody Wants This*.
