Leighton Meester Joins 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2 - But Fans Are Wary!
EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT: Leighton Meester Joins "Nobody Wants This" Season 2 as Instagram Mommy Influencer - Get Ready for the Drama!
The highly anticipated second season of Netflix's romantic comedy hit, "Nobody Wants This," has just dropped its trailer, and we've got all the juicy details. The show follows the unconventional love story between Noah (played by Adam Brody), an unorthodox rabbi, and Joanne (portrayed by Kristen Bell), a sex and dating podcaster who is also his partner in every sense of the word.
But what's about to shake things up in this lovable couple's life? None other than Leighton Meester, the Gossip Girl alum and former flame of Chace Crawford, has joined the cast as Abby, Kristen Bell's middle school nemesis turned Instagram mommy influencer extraordinaire. Yes, you read that right - Abby is a full-fledged social media momager, complete with a baby blue two-piece skirt suit that screams "I'm a suburban mom on a mission!"
According to sources close to the production, Leighton Meester's character is set to bring all sorts of drama and hilarity to the show. Think tantrums at school drop-offs, carefully curated Instagram posts featuring her adorable tots, and maybe even a few mommy-shaming moments or two.
While some fans are already predicting that Abby will be "insufferable," others can't wait to see Leighton Meester bring this Instagram influencer character to life. After all, as Kristen Bell gushed about her co-star's performance in an interview with Entertainment Weekly earlier this month, "Leighton is effervescent in that episode." We can only imagine what kind of comedic fireworks will ensue when these two actresses share the screen together.
So, who exactly is Abby? Well, according to the show's synopsis, she's a former classmate of Joanne's who has since become a social media mogul. That's right - this mommy influencer is built for success, with her curated aesthetic and perfectly coiffed locks making her the envy of all the other moms in the school pickup line.
Of course, not everyone is thrilled about Abby's arrival on the scene. As one fan tweeted on X (formerly Twitter), "Oh she's gonna annoy me bad." We can't say we blame them - after all, nobody likes a good mommy influencer drama like this!

The Premise of "Nobody Wants This" Season 2
After the last season's dramatic finale, Noah and Joanne are back and more in love than ever. But as they navigate their differences and try to merge their lives together, they'll encounter all sorts of obstacles - including Abby, the Instagram mommy influencer who is about to shake things up big time.
As Kristen Bell previously told TheScholarlyNote.com, "The last time we saw agnostic podcast host Joanne and unconventional (hot) rabbi Noah, their unmatched chemistry surprised everyone in their lives, including her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons) and sister-in-law Esther (Jackie Tohn), and even themselves. Their spark proved stronger than all of the obstacles trying to keep them apart.
"Now, they're back and fully committed to merging their lives - and loved ones -together. But their differences still exist and can't be ignored. The challenge now is not just falling in love against all odds, but staying together in spite of them."
