Nobody Wants This<\/em> season two has now been out in the world<\/a> for two weeks, marking just enough time for the cast and creators to get back together and break it all down.<\/p>\n That\u2019s exactly what happened on Friday afternoon, as Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons and Jackie Tohn joined creator Erin Foster, co-showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan and music supervisor Manish Raval for a FYC event in L.A., as they dove into the newly released season. The show<\/a> follows the unlikely relationship between agnostic podcaster Joanne (Bell) and rabbi Noah (Brody), as Foster revealed her specific intentions with Brody\u2019s character this time around.<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNoah was such a green flag all of season one, but I do think that something we talked about in season two is \u2014 not to take it too seriously, but \u2014 you do have a bit of a responsibility when you\u2019re making a romantic comedy in how you represent what relationships should be like. And there was something that sort of didn\u2019t sit right with me that Noah came across like this perfect guy, because that isn\u2019t realistic,\u201d Foster explained, then quickly making an exception for her own husband and Brody himself.<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cIt was something that we talked about that was definitely important to me, to show Noah as an imperfect boyfriend, or just because he\u2019s perfect for Joanne doesn\u2019t mean he was perfect for the women who came before her. Sometimes the person you fall for that\u2019s great with you wasn\u2019t great for someone else; that\u2019s how relationships work and I did want to show him in that light.\u201d<\/p>\n The conversation also touched on bringing in Lupe\u2019s former Succession<\/em> co-star Arian Moayed as her love interest \u2014 which the actress credited Konner with coming up with as \u201cI kind of thought Succession<\/em> was off the table, like I thought we can\u2019t have a crossover\u201d \u2014 and about highlighting Los Angeles in the show. Foster explained shooting in L.A. actually came about as part of Bell agreeing to star, as she told the team her kids are in school and she wasn\u2019t going to work in another city. \u201cWe\u2019re like, \u2018Oh no, we have to work from home,’\u201d Foster joked, with Konner adding, \u201cBy the way, I hope that you inspire other actors to do that,\u201d in using their leverage to keep production local.<\/p>\n
