Will Dr. Andy Get His Moment? Arian Moayed Weighs in on ‘Nobody Wants This’ Season Two

Ah, the ever-enticing question of a second season for a fresh-faced Netflix comedy. You know the drill. Fans, and yes, even the cast, often find themselves holding their breath, wondering if their beloved new show will get another go-round. And for ‘Nobody Wants This,’ a series that truly just landed, it seems some of its most memorable faces are already thinking about what comes next.

Specifically, we’re talking about Arian Moayed, a name many of us recognize — maybe from that rather intense HBO show, ‘Succession,’ where he played the sharp-witted Stewy Hosseini. Now, he’s ventured into the rom-com world, albeit briefly, as Dr. Andy in the Kristen Bell and Adam Brody-led series.

Dr. Andy, in truth, is Kristen Bell’s character Joanne’s former husband, a figure who, you could say, pops in and out of the first season. But here's the kicker: Moayed is quite keen on revisiting the role, should Netflix greenlight another chapter.

You might wonder, given Dr. Andy’s somewhat minor presence in the initial eight episodes, why the excitement? Well, during a chat with Collider, Moayed himself didn't just express interest; he offered up a rather charming, slightly self-deprecating take on his character's place.

He actually quipped that Dr. Andy could very well be the titular 'nobody' in ‘Nobody Wants This.’ A playful jab, perhaps, but one that certainly gets you thinking, doesn't it? It suggests a layer of meta-awareness, a delightful little wink from an actor who clearly enjoys his craft.

The show itself, as you might have gathered, plunges into the complicated, often messy world of modern romance.

Kristen Bell plays Joanne, a successful podcaster who, let's just say, isn't exactly seeking a long-term commitment. And then there's Adam Brody's character, Noah, who, quite frankly, is navigating a very similar emotional landscape. They cross paths, they connect, and what ensues is a story about two people who, at their core, insist they don’t want anything serious.

Yet, as these things always go, fate and feelings have a way of, well, intervening.

It’s an interesting premise, exploring the intricacies of casual relationships and the unexpected emotional depths they can sometimes unearth. And truthfully, seeing an actor like Moayed, who often embodies more intense, dramatic roles, step into a lighter, comedic space, even if for just a handful of scenes, adds a certain spark.

One could argue, quite easily, that his presence brings a different kind of energy to the show’s tapestry. So, for those who enjoyed the first season, and for those who, like Moayed, might be hoping for more from Dr. Andy, the wait for Netflix's decision will certainly be an anxious one. Let's just hope ‘nobody’ actually does want this season two.

You know, in the best possible way.
