If you’ve been near a screen of late, chances are you’re aware that the rom-com series Nobody Wants This (and its cast) is taking hold of the masses right now.
In Australia, it’s sitting in the number two spot of the top-streamed Netflix series as of September 23. It has overtaken the likes of Emily in Paris Season 4 and The Perfect Couple and sits behind only Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
While there’s no shortage of content surrounding the Nobody Wants This series and its cast (especially Adam Brody), we thought we’d dive into one of the more curious elements of the show: the many surprising connections shared between the cast and crew.
Here’s what we know.
Nobody Wants This: Cast connections you didn’t know about
Adam Brody and Erin Foster
Probably one of the more surprising connections in Nobody Wants This is the fact that Adam Brody (Noah) and Erin Foster (the show’s creator) both appeared in The O.C.
Adam famously portrayed everyone’s imaginary boyfriend, Seth Cohen, and Erin played Heather – a high school bully who gets involved with Volchok and is actually in the car with him for the infamous car crash death scene for Marissa.
Erin spoke with Vulture of her common history with Adam, sharing, “I had a different nose and different hair, and I’m hoping he never finds out.”
Kristen Bell and Adam Brody
Our starring pair, Kristen (Morgan) and Adam, portray the romantic leads in Nobody Wants This, but it’s certainly not the first time they’ve worked together.
In 2013, the pair played exes in Some Girl(s). That same year, Adam and Kristen appeared in House of Lies as romantic interests. And, most recently, both actors appeared in Scream 4, though not in any shared scenes.
Jackie Tohn and Kristen Bell
Jackie, who plays Esther in Nobody Wants This, is Kristen’s real-life BFF. They literally did a BFF challenge recently to spotlight their gal pal romance.
Kristen Bell and Leighton Meester
While not technically a cast member of Nobody Wants This, Leighton is married to Adam, which makes the connection count, in our opinion.
Kristen and Leighton worked together on the OG Gossip Girl series; Leighton as Blair Waldorf and Kristen as the famous Gossip Girl “xoxo” voiceover artist.
With all this prior history between the people behind Nobody Wants This, it’s no surprise the chemistry for the cast is so effective.
You can stream Nobody Wants This on Netflix Australia now.
