‘Nobody Wants This’ Creator Teases “Pivotal & Important” Role Written For Dax Shepard
Erin Foster says the writers of *Nobody Wants This* have devised a pivotal role for Dax Shepard in a potential fourth season, and have asked whether he would take part. Netflix has not renewed the series, so the role depends on a season being commissioned and Shepard agreeing to appear.
Foster said the idea grew during a recent writers’ room discussion and could involve Shepard for only some episodes, rather than the whole season. Shepard, who has not acted on screen since 2020, said a recent role in *Bad Monkey* made him more open to acting again; *Nobody Wants This* stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody as a couple navigating family and religious differences.
In short
- Erin Foster has a pivotal role in mind for Dax Shepard.
- The potential role is for an unconfirmed fourth season.
- Shepard says he is more open to acting after *Bad Monkey*.
Explained simply
Nobody Wants This is a Netflix comedy-drama about Joanne, played by Kristen Bell, and Noah, played by Adam Brody. Joanne is a podcaster from a non-religious family, while Noah is a rabbi, and their relationship brings questions of faith and family into the story.
Erin Foster created the series, drawing in part on her own experience of a relationship across religious backgrounds. Dax Shepard, an actor and podcast host, is married to Bell; his possible involvement would be a guest role, and the show’s future remains undecided because Netflix has not renewed it.
