Kristen Bell says there’s one thing that fans always tell her about her hit Netflix show “Nobody Wants This.”
While speaking about the series with NBC News correspondent Jacob Soboroff in a joint interview her co-star Adam Brody, Bell revealed the common thing people tell her when they talk about her rom-com.
“This has happened to me, I’m going to say — and I don’t think I’m exaggerating — six times where I’ve had different women in my life… like a girl in my choir class was like, ‘Oh, I’m going to start watching your show. I haven’t seen it yet. My dad told me to watch it,’” she said exclusively to Soboroff, who laughed.
“I’m not joking. Everybody’s dad has seen this show and is telling them to watch it, like a bunch of my friends,” she added.
Brody agreed. “Yeah, parents and grandparents,” he said.
“Dads love it!” Bell added.
Brody and Bell star in “Nobody Wants This” and play a devout rabbi and an agnostic sex podcaster, respectively, who fall in love in the most unconventional way.
The series premiered on Netflix in September 2024 and then it was renewed for another season in October of that same year. Season 2 is now set to premiere this October.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bell talked about the impact that “Nobody Wants This” has had on fans and she said she’s glad that the show became a hit.
“I’ve never gotten a response to any show I’ve ever been a part of like this show,” she said.
“It’s been thrilling to hear how many people have enjoyed it,” Bell continued. “That’s kind of my main goal with any type of performance.”
“Ultimately, I just want people to have a nice escapism while watching something I’ve been in, and I feel like this has provided that for so many people,” she added.
