Latasha M. Ford with Awards Buzz recently took things behind the scenes with Justine Lupe, who discussed her unapologetic and “unbridled” role as Morgan in the hit Netflix series “Nobody Wants This”. It was a conversation to remember, especially as Lupe confirmed that filming for Season 3 has just wrapped; she described the experience as her favorite season to shoot, calling it both artistically fulfilling and an absolute “blast”. Beyond the screen, Lupe shared how she stays grounded through hiking and reading, while also enjoying the “delightful” phase of her daughter being almost two years old.
The actress provided deep insights into Morgan’s evolution, noting that while Season 2 saw the character impulsively dating her therapist to cope with feeling “left behind,” her confident “cool girl” persona remains a protective mask for a hyper-sensitive underlying vulnerability. Lupe also touched on the show’s rich relationship dynamics, highlighting her close real-life bond with co-star Kristen and the evolving platonic chemistry between Morgan and Sasha. Reflecting on the series’ beginnings, she fondly recalled filming Season 1 while pregnant, a time when she felt particularly creative and vibrant.
About “Nobody Wants This”
The narrative of Nobody Wants This explores the compelling, high-stakes collision between two starkly different worlds: the secular, irreverent sphere of modern media and the traditional, disciplined life of the rabbinate. The series centers on the unexpected, love-at-first-sight connection between Joanne (Kristen Bell), an irascible agnostic who co-hosts a candid relationship podcast with her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), and Noah (Adam Brody), a young, charismatic American rabbi. Their burgeoning romance is immediately complicated by their diametrically opposed lifestyles and the relentless interference of their respective families.
Noah’s professional and personal stakes are particularly high; as he navigates his attraction to Joanne, he is simultaneously campaigning for a promotion to chief rabbi of his synagogue. This ambition is further complicated by his recent transition into singlehood following the end of a long-term relationship with a Jewish woman—a background that makes his pursuit of an agnostic woman a point of significant domestic and communal tension.
Despite the skepticism implied by its title, the series has proven to be a massive success with audiences. The show was highly anticipated prior to its debut and performed exceptionally well upon its release on Netflix. Following the critical and commercial success of its 10-episode second season, Netflix officially renewed the series for a third season prior to June 2026, ensuring that viewers will continue to see whether Noah and Joanne’s relationship can truly survive the meddling of their families and the friction of their wildly different lives.
