Netflix Renews Nobody Wants This; Alicia Silverstone to Lead Acorn TV Series
Netflix announced that the breakout hit comedy series Nobody Wants This has been renewed for a second season, slated to premiere in 2025. Jenni Konner (Girls, Deli Boys, Welcome to Chippendales) and Bruce Eric Kaplan (Girls, No Good Deed, Six Feet Under) join Season 2 as Executive Producers and Showrunners. Nora Silver (Deli Boys, Welcome to Chippendales, Single Drunk Female) also joins as Executive Producer.
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).
AMC Networks' international streamer, Acorn TV, announced the greenlight and start of production on Irish Blood, which follows hot-shot Los Angeles divorce lawyer, Fiona Sharpe, who receives a letter from her estranged father and sets out to uncover the mystery of his disappearance. Award-winning actress Alicia Silverstone (Clueless, Bugonia) leads the cast and executive produces this layered, compelling drama from writers Aaron Martin, Christina Ray, Mike O'Leary and John Krizanc.
Irish Blood, a six-part murder mystery (6x60), focuses on Fiona (Silverstone), whose path in life is earmarked by her father, Declan, who seemingly abandoned her and her mother on her tenth birthday. After years of channelling anger toward him, to the benefit of her litigious clients, a message from her father sends her to Ireland. There she learns key truths about her father as well as a family that doesn't know she exists, and, moreover, that the story of abandonment that has shaped her entire life - was a lie. A lie intended to protect her and her mother from her father's shady business dealings. Fiona resolves to uncover the full truth about her father and reconnect with the parent she only thought she knew.
Joining Silverstone as series regulars are Wendy Crewson (We Were Liars, Tracker), Jason O'Mara (The Man In The High Castle, The Good Wife), Dearbhla Molloy (Wild Mountain Thyme, Rendezvous), Simone Kirby (His Dark Materials, Kneecap), Ruth Codd (The Fall of the House of Usher) and Leonardo Taiwo (Wheel of Time, Ant-Man & The Wasp).
