why “Nobody Wants This” Season 2 is different from Erin Foster’s real love story. With Kristen Bell and Adam Brody!
Now the story is completely fiction!
After the success of the first season, everyone was thinking that the second season of ‘Nobody Wants This‘ would also be inspired by creator Erin Foster’s own love story. But that’s not the case at all!
Erin has revealed that this season is “definitely not” inspired by real-life events. The character of Joan (Kristen Bell) no longer resembles her own life.
However, Erin hopes that Joan’s story will end with marriage, children, and happiness.
The ‘Emotional Truth’ is still alive
So, is Erin’s life no longer a factor in the show? That’s not the case at all.
Show co-showrunner Jenni Konner says that Erin still brings the “emotional truth” of her life to the show.
Even if the situation isn’t exactly the same, Erin’s thoughts, feelings, and perspectives are still a part of Joan’s character.
Erin also agrees that the show will always maintain that emotional truth.
Erin’s Real-Life Fairy Tale
It’s worth remembering that the first season was based on Erin’s own love story with her now-husband, Simon Tikhman.
They met at the gym in 2018, married in 2019, and welcomed a daughter in May of that year.
Erin modeled the character of Noah after her husband—a man who is emotionally available, funny, and confident.
Bonus: Real-life on-screen match!
This season has another interesting connection to real life.
dam Brody, who plays Noah on the show, is married to Leighton Meester in real life. And this season, Leighton plays Joan’s high school rival, Abby!
Adam said the best part of working together was going to the office and getting some “alone time.” For them, working was like a “date night”!
Overall, the second season of “Nobody Wants This” is a perfect blend of real-life emotions and imagination, which you can watch right now on Netflix!
