When she's not voicing Anna in the Frozen movies, Kristen Bell is starring in some of the wittiest comedies around, a trend that continues in the new series, Nobody Wants This

Netflix original series follows Bell's Joanne, an agnostic podcaster who has a knack for being rather unfiltered about her personal life, who falls for a guy that she wouldn't necessarily label as her type. What makes him so different from the other men she's dated? Well, for starters, he's a rabbi. 

Bell alone should be reason enough to draw your interest to the new series, but with this premise and after seeing the trailer, you should be all in on wanting to watch it. Here's everything we know about Nobody Wants This

Nobody Wants This plot

Here is the official synopsis for the series: 

"An agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi on the rebound walk into a party. When they walk out — together — the unlikely pair, Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody), can tell there is something between them. But also potentially between them, with their differing outlooks on life, all of the modern obstacles to love and their sometimes well-meaning, sometimes sabotaging families — including her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe) and his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons).”
