LOS ANGELES — Stars from the hit series “Nobody Wants This” gathered for a special screening at Paley Fest LA!
The popular rom-com series, from 20th Television, stars Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons and Jackie Tohn. It originally debuted in 2024 to wild success, earning three nominations at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards. Season 2 released in October 2025 and was quickly renewed for a third season, now in production.
The event served as an exclusive moment between the actors, creator Erin Foster, executive producers and the fans, with a conversation taking place after the presentation.
On The Red Carpet caught up with the stars, ahead of the screening where Brody, Lupe, Simons and Tohn discussed the overwhelming fan reaction to the series.
“It’s a real treat to, truly, to get to see your friends and get to talk about your work and have people be interested in that. It’s wild,” Brody explains.
When it comes to the cast, Lupe told us what the group chat is like leading up to an event like PaleyFest.
“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.”
