Adam Brody Reveals Seth Rogen’s Unscripted Scenes in ‘Nobody Wants This’ Season 2

Adam Brody has shared insights into Seth Rogen’s unscripted scenes in the second season of *Nobody Wants This*. In a recent interview with People, Brody discussed the dynamic energy Rogen brought to his role in the series, where he worked with guest star Kate Berlant. “He just let it rip,” Brody remarked about Rogen’s performance, describing the experience as one where he simply had to “buckle up and hang on.”

Seth Rogen Joins *Nobody Wants This*

In the hit Netflix series, Brody portrays Rabbi Noah, who is navigating his relationship with his agnostic girlfriend, Joanne, played by Kristen Bell. This season, Noah seeks a temple that is more accepting of Joanne’s uncertainty about converting to Judaism. He discovers a progressive temple overseen by Neil, Rogen’s character, and Cami, played by Berlant.

Brody characterizes Rogen’s Neil as a “rock ‘n’ roll rabbi,” contrasting sharply with his more traditional portrayal of Noah. Rogen’s energetic and humorous portrayal resonated with Brody, who noted, “He’s incredibly gregarious, and he’s identifiably Jewish.” His assessment highlights Rogen’s suitability for the role.

Emmy Awards Recognition

Earlier this year, both actors were nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series at the 2025 Emmys for their respective performances. Rogen won the award for his role as Matt Remick in *The Studio*.

Leighton Meester’s Role

This season also introduces Leighton Meester, known for her role in *Gossip Girl*, who plays Abby, a character from Joanne’s past. Notably, Meester is married to Brody. The show’s creator, Erin Foster, explained that Meester’s character was originally written without casting. Following her acceptance, Foster rewrote portions of the script to incorporate scenes between Brody and Meester. In one humorous moment, Brody’s character proclaims, “She’s not my type,” a line Foster hoped would resonate with audiences.
