Updated in October 2026 to replace vague commentary with direct quotes from Variety and Deadline, add The Hollywood Reporter's coverage, and remove an unrelated '£100 cinema test' section.
'Nobody Wants This' creator Erin Foster has responded to comments made by her co-star Adam Brody about Gaza, saying: "I disagree with him, and that's OK." Her remarks, made on the 'Not Skinny but Not Fat' podcast, come as the Netflix series returns for its third season.
What Foster Said
According to Variety, Foster was asked about Brody's recent GQ interview in which he said "put me down as wanting a free Palestine." She replied: "It's complicated. I think our work environment, our set is very similar to dinner tables around the world where people are having debate and discussion and disagreeing."
Deadline reports that Foster said Brody is "entitled to a different opinion" from hers. She said she wants "our Jewish fans to know that I see you and I hear you and I understand how you feel", adding that the show "has always been and always will be a love letter to Judaism."
What Brody Said
Deadline reports that Brody told GQ the previous month: "Put me down as thinking it's a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine." Deadline notes that multiple organisations, including the United Nations, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have classified Israel's actions as genocide, and that the show's Season 1 rabbi consultant criticised Brody's wording as "truly shocking."
The Hollywood Reporter also covered Foster's response. Variety adds that Brody faced backlash from some fans of the show after his GQ comments.
The Show
In 'Nobody Wants This', inspired by Foster's relationship with her husband Simon Tikhman, agnostic podcaster Joanne (Kristen Bell) begins a romance with Rabbi Noah (Brody) and decides to convert to Judaism. Foster, who based the series on her own conversion, also makes a guest appearance in Season 3, which is now streaming on Netflix.
