Adam Brody’s Email Inbox Is ‘Fuller’ After Nobody Wants This Success

Everybody wants a piece of Adam Brody‘s Hot Rabbi after the premiere of Netflix’s Nobody Wants This.

Brody, 45, spoke about the show’s success at Golden Globes First-time Nominees Luncheon on Tuesday, December 17, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “I’ve gotten a lot of interesting stuff. My email is fuller than it was.

While the actor is currently focused on season 2 of Nobody Wants This, he is looking forward to planning his new projects. “If I’m looking to not do something, it’s probably nothing that is too similar to the show,” Brody added. “Other than that, quality of writing is a precious jewel and anything well-written, anyone would be lucky to do it.”

The hit TV series, which premiered in September, centered on the unlikely relationship between an outspoken, agnostic woman (played by Kristen Bell) and an unconventional rabbi (portrayed by Brody). Nobody Wants This received praise from critics and fans alike for the intense onscreen chemistry displayed between the two leads.

Bell’s husband, Dax Shepard, shared his thoughts on the overwhelming interest in her onscreen romance with Brody.

“We watched that scene together, the kissing scene, which I’d argue is the very best kissing scene ever, ever put on film,” Shepard, 49, shared at the New Yorker Festival in September. “And my best friend, Aaron, from childhood, he goes, ‘Does she ever kiss you like that?’ No, I didn’t even know she could kiss like that.”

Shepard joked he had some competition now when it came to his chemistry with Bell, 44, adding, “[It is] not as good as her and Brody.”

As for Bell, she was taken aback by how well she and Brody sold the fictional ship.

“Even I can acknowledge watching it, like, ‘Whoa, that’s hot,’” she told e-talk before the show’s September premiere. “My husband said the same thing. Like, watching the first episode he was like, ‘Oh, my God, I want you to kiss him so badly.’”

Kristen Bell and Adam Brody‘s onscreen chemistry is like no other. The duo star in Netflix’s rom-com series, Nobody Wants This, which hit the streaming platform in late September 2024. Along with Bell, sisters Erin Foster and Sara Foster serve as executive producers. In the show, Bell stars as Joanne, a podcaster producer and host […]

Bell continued: “I’m not trying to be reductive, but I think there’s a math to it. You have two actors that know how to stare dopily into each other’s eyes, and you have to have the confidence to expand that and really sit the anticipatory value before the kiss, which I think is really important.”

Series creator Erin Foster has since weighed in on Bell and Brody’s casting. “They just have, like, unreal chemistry. It’s crazy because they’re friends in real life. They don’t have that chemistry off camera,” she noted to TV Line at the time. “There’s no, like, sexual tension on set, and then the camera goes, and it’s like, ‘Holy s—!’ It’s really there.”

Nobody Wants This is available to stream on Netflix and has been renewed for a second season.
