Netflix‘s rom-com Nobody Wants This has cast Leighton Meester and Miles Fowler in its forthcoming second season.
Both actors will be guest stars in season two, with Meester joining her real-life husband, Adam Brody, on the show. She’ll play a character named Abby, Joanne’s (Kristen Bell) former middle school nemesis who is now an Instagram mommy influencer. Meester and Bell were also both key parts of The CW’s Gossip Girl — though Bell, as the show’s narrator, didn’t appear on screen (save for a cameo as herself in the series finale).
