Adam Brody Isn’t Religious, But He Plays a Hot Rabbi in ‘Nobody Wants This’: ‘I Hope Jewish People Like It’

Erin Foster's new rom-com Netflix series "Nobody Wants This" pairs Kristen Bell and Adam Brody as a meet-cute couple with one hurdle: He's a rabbi.

Erin Foster’s new rom-com series “ Nobody Wants This ” — now streaming on Netflix — pairs Kristen Bell and Adam Brody as a meet-cute couple with one major hurdle: He’s a hip (yet devout) rabbi, and she’s a blonde-haired shiksa. This causes complications in their family and work lives, as the pair discuss love, sex, friends and faith with the easygoing charm that two beloved Millenial actors inevitably conjure. Plus, they’ve already shared the screen several times, including in the series “House of Lies” and the 2017 film “CHiPs.” Brody spoke with Variety about his relationship with religion, nurturing an onscreen spark with Bell and getting recognized as “The O.C.” favorite Seth Cohen.
