Nobody Wants This cast and character guide: A look at the stars of the Erin and Sara Foster rom-com on Netflix

A new rom-com titled Nobody Wants This will arrive on Netflix tomorrow, and viewers can enjoy a story of an agnostic falling hard for a charming rabbi. Interestingly, Nobody Wants This is loosely inspired by the real events in the life of the creators Erin and Sara Foster.

While the upcoming series is a rom-com revolving around how the titular characters Joanne and Noah fell in love, it also highlights family dynamics and belief. While Joanne is an active podcaster who isn't shy to talk about s*x, Noah is a man with belief, but far from a typical rabbi.

Following the impressive narrative of Nobody Wants This, the makers ensured a talented cast including Kristen Bell, the voice behind fan-favorite TV series Gossip Girl, and actor Adam Brody as Joanne's love interest. While the two artists have been cast in the main role, the rom-com includes other notable stars you might know.

Since the series is set to hit Netflix tomorrow, many would love to explore the cast and character guide of the rom-com. So, here's a complete list for you to look over:

1) Kristen Bell

As previously mentioned, the narrator of Gossip Girl, Kristen Bell joined the cast of Nobody Wants This as Joanne, the outspoken podcaster. Though she's a bold and ambitious woman, Joanne faces complexities in her personal and professional life.

Bell's on-screen character drew inspiration from Erin Foster's experience as a podcaster with her sister. Viewers will experience the creator's humor and wit through Joanne in the rom-com.

2) Noah

Adam Brody's Noah will be seen as a rabbi intrigued by an agnostic after crossing paths with her. The O.C. star has played several notable roles in his acting career, and his addition to the upcoming series highlights Brody's strong presence in the entertainment world.

Despite the differences, Noah will find himself deeply connected with Joanne and will end up liking her. The two will also engage in humorous interactions, adding to the comedic element of the series.

3) Sasha

Veep star Timothy Simons has secured the role of Sasha, a character full of life and sense of humor. Sasha is a supportive brother to Noah, and fans will see him create drama in the family. His presence in the series will add depth to the main character's life and how Noah's family will welcome a non-believer.

4) Morgan

Just as the creators Erin and Sara Fosters are sisters, Joanne also has Morgan beside her. Morgan (played by Justine Lupe) is the co-host of Joanne's podcast, and despite trying hard not to, she often messes up with her sister's life. However, she's a fun-loving family member to Joanne, and the two share a great bond.

Meet the visionaries behind Nobody Wants This: Erin and Sara Foster

Rom-coms have always been a fan-favorite genre, and when crafted with real-life experiences, fans and viewers expect something they've never seen before. Similarly, Erin Foster's story of converting to Judaism for love inspired her to add real-life experience to her series.

Nobody Wants This is created and produced by sisters Sara and Erin Foster, who previously worked as podcasters. The two have now made a name, especially in the fields of writing and producing in the entertainment world.

During an interview with Harper Bazaar, the Foster sisters shed light on their decision to make a rom-com, and Erin Foster shared:

"The best writing comes from personal experience because you can speak to a unique perspective that you have in the situation."

Sara Foster was asked if she remembers anything about her sister's past since the series is about her life experiences, the producer said:

"My memory was that Erin has never connected to religion. She had this narrative about herself for all these years."

The Foster sisters were successfully able to craft a compelling story, which is just a few hours away from its release on Netflix. The series will have ten episodes, all arriving on the same day.
