The 10-episode series stars Adam Brody and Kristen Bell , both 44, and comes from writer Erin Foster, daughter of David Foster and step-daughter of Katharine McPhee . It even features a Veronica Mars reunion that fans have been raving about. Bell plays Joanne, who is ardently looking for love and then talking about all her bad dates on the podcast she shares with her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe).
The podcast is called Nobody Wants This, naturally. Things grow complicated when Joanne meets Noah (Brody) who is fresh off a near-engagement to Rebecca (Emily Arlook), after realizing that the relationship was something Rebecca wanted and his family wanted but he didn't. Noah is a rabbi and tells Joanne there's nothing worse for his professional image than falling for a shiksa.
