Everybody wants more Leighton Meester on their screen.
And that’s exactly what they’ll get. After all, she will join husband Adam Brody in season two of Nobody Wants This, where she’ll play Abby, the high school nemesis of Kristen Bell’s Joanne.
“We came up with such a fun character,” creator Erin Foster told E! News in an exclusive joint interview with sister and executive producer Sara Foster. “We went to Adam first, like, ‘What do you think of this idea?’ He was like, ‘I think that she would be so great at it. Do it. Ask her.’ And she was so game and so excited. She is an underrated comedian.”
As for Leighton’s scenes with Adam, who plays Noah, the 42-year-old added, “I intentionally put a few fun little lines in there that I think people are going to enjoy.”
The cast certainly did, especially after Erin screened the first episode for Kristen and Adam.
