The upcoming third season of the acclaimed series, "Nobody Wants This," is set to introduce a host of fresh faces, with nine new actors joining the ensemble. Among these new additions are well-known talents such as Sarah Silverman and Andrew Rannells, who will take on recurring roles, enriching the show's dynamic narrative. Additionally, six new guest stars, including the series' visionary creator Erin Foster, are slated to make appearances, promising an exciting expansion of the show's universe.

Andrew Rannells, celebrated for his performances in "Girls" and "Book of Mormon," is set to portray Sebastien, Joanne’s rival in a conversion class. Keyla Monterroso Mejia, known for her work in "The Studio" and "Abbott Elementary," will appear as Amber, a single woman in Joanne's Intro to Judaism class, determined to find a Jewish husband. Sarah Silverman, recognized for "PostMortem" and "Maestro," joins as Rabbi Eden, a compassionate and eccentric teacher who provides guidance to Joanne and Noah.

The guest star lineup is equally impressive, featuring Avan Jogia as Travis, a self-assured character who enjoys provoking Joanne. Erin Foster will step into the role of Nicole, a perpetually single and chaotic individual who represents an alternate, less fortunate version of Joanne. Poorna Jagannathan, from "Deli Boys" and "Never Have I Ever," will play Eleanor, Sebastien’s outspoken aunt. Sadie Sandler is cast as Denise, a young psychic offering a reading to Morgan. Stephanie Koenig, from "English Teacher" and "Lessons in Chemistry," will portray Poppy, a sarcastic dating app user who attempts to connect with Sasha. Finally, Steven Weber, from "Wings" and "Chicago Med," joins as Julian, a humorous, down-to-earth, and secure divorced father.

These new cast members will join returning fan favorites Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn. Kristen Bell stars as Joanne, an agnostic podcaster who embarks on a relationship with Noah, a rabbi played by Adam Brody. The series delves into their journey as they navigate the complexities of their differing religious beliefs, all while their families observe their unconventional romance with a degree of skepticism. The show is executive produced by Erin Foster, Jenni Konner, and Bruce Eric Kaplan, among others, and is a production of 20th Television. The new season is highly anticipated and is scheduled to premiere later this year.

The expansion of the cast for "Nobody Wants This" Season 3 introduces a diverse range of new characters and talent, promising fresh narrative avenues and comedic possibilities. With both seasoned actors and the series creator taking on new roles, the upcoming season is poised to deliver engaging storylines and further explore the intricate themes of love, faith, and family dynamics that define the show's unique charm.
