Nobody Wants This creator says she disagrees with Adam Brody’s ‘free Palestine’ comments

Nobody Wants This creator Erin Foster says she disagrees with star Adam Brody's pro-Palestine comments but respects his right to his opinion, as the show's third season drops this week.

After Brody called out the ‘death and misery’ in Palestine, the Netflix hit’s Jewish creator said they don’t see eye to eye

The Long Sip
What happened

Erin Foster, creator of the Netflix hit Nobody Wants This, publicly said she disagrees with co-star Adam Brody's support for a free Palestine.

The detail

Brody told GQ he considers the situation in Gaza a genocide, while Foster, who converted to Judaism, described her show as a love letter to Jewish people and culture.

And then

Season three of Nobody Wants This is out this week, with the Guardian giving it four stars and saying fans will fall in love with it all over again.

What readers are saying

Bert
Foster's 2021 post calling for a two-state solution where both exist next to each other is worth revisiting here - she's not changed position, just clarified that she and Brody disagree on framing. The show itself seems designed to sit in that exact space of respectful disagreement.

If you're checking out season three, the timing means you'll be watching a show explicitly made as a love letter to Judaism while its creator's handling of this exact tension is front-page news. Worth knowing going in.
