LOS ANGELES — The cast of the popular series “Nobody Wants This” recently came together for a special screening at Paley Fest LA, drawing excitement from fans and industry insiders alike.

The acclaimed romantic comedy, produced by 20th Television, features a talented ensemble including Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn. Since its debut in 2024, the show has captivated audiences and earned critical acclaim, securing three nominations at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards. Following a successful second season release in October 2025, the series was swiftly renewed for a third season, which is currently in production.

This recent Paley Fest event offered a unique opportunity for fans to engage with the stars, series creator Erin Foster, and the executive producers during a lively discussion following the screening.

Prior to the event, On The Red Carpet caught up with Brody, Lupe, Simons, and Tohn, who shared their thoughts on the enthusiastic fan response to the show.

Adam Brody expressed his excitement, saying, “It’s truly a pleasure to see your friends, discuss your work, and witness such interest from the audience. It’s incredible.”

Discussing the camaraderie among the cast, Justine Lupe gave a glimpse into their dynamic, revealing what their group chat looks like as they prepared for Paley Fest.

“I get a little gleeful and excited to hang out with everyone every time we get the chance to do so outside of work, so yeah. It’s fun! It’s always like a little bit of a lift, and we all kind of text each other in the time leading into it texting what we’re going to wear and how we’re feeling and when we’re gonna arrive. It’s very cute. We’re a little team,” she said.

As the team heads into Season 3, Tohn literally gets chills talking about the “crazy fan base.”

“What’s really exciting, I’ve been acting for 30 years, and like, it’s really hard to get a job, right? We all know that. It’s a given, but then you get on a show, which no one does. And then you get on a show people love! I just got chills! I mean, we’ve been doing this for three years and I’m still getting chills. That’s what it means to me to be on a show that has such a crazy fan base. And also, people have said to me before, ‘How does it feel to be on a show that’s a cultural juggernaut?’ LOL! I was like, ‘Let me Google that,’ but it feels good” Tohn joked.

Simons had some insights about why he thinks this show has hit fans as hard as it has, saying, “Everybody’s been on a bad date. Everybody’s had a bad experience with their girlfriend or boyfriend’s mom or their parents, or, you know. And everybody is, you know, and people that are single, this is like, everybody has been through these experiences of like, trying to find somebody. I don’t know. I think it connects with people that way.”
