Nobody Wants This
SAEED ADYANI/NETFLIX

In case you missed it, Netflix's Nobody Wants This is the latest show to take the streaming universe by storm—and it’s already claimed the #1 spot on the platform’s most-watched list this week. With its quirky, fun moments and a love story that’s both complicated and endearing, it’s clear this series has captured hearts around the world. I mean, garnering nearly 16 million views is no small feat.

If you haven't seen (or heard) of Nobody Wants This, here's the scoop. Adam Brody and Kristen Bell team up in this classic rom-com, where Bell plays Joanne, an agnostic podcast host, and Brody is Noah, a not-so-typical rabbi. They might seem like total opposites, but after bumping into each other at a party and taking an impromptu walk, sparks start to fly—and neither of them can ignore the chemistry.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably already breezed through all 10 episodes and are craving more. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Whether you’re looking for more of Adam Brody, Kristen Bell or just a feel-good rom-com to fill the void, here are 8 movies and shows like Nobody Wants This to dive into after your inevitable binge.

1. You're The Worst

  • Cast: Aya Cash, Chris Geere and more
  • Number of seasons: 5

You're the Worst is a comically real take on love and happiness, told through the lens of two people who’ve totally failed at both. It follows Gretchen and Jimmy as they navigate fear, heartbreak, romance, sex and all the chaos that comes with life in Los Angeles (including the sacred tradition of Sunday Funday). It’s proof that sometimes, the worst people can make the best partners—Jimmy is described as a narcissistic and stubborn guy, and Gretchen, a cynical, people-pleasing and self-destructive mess. And together? Absolute magic.

2. Long Shot

  • Cast: Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron
  • Runtime: 125 minutes

Like Nobody Wants This, Long Shot follows the story of an unlikely duo falling in love. Fred Flarsky (Rogen) is a talented but totally chaotic journalist who somehow always finds himself in sticky situations. On the flip side, Charlotte Field (Theron) is a powerhouse—smart, sophisticated and one of the most influential politicians on the planet.

When Fred randomly bumps into Charlotte, he realizes she’s not just a big deal—she’s also his former babysitter and childhood crush. Things get even wilder when Charlotte decides to run for president and impulsively hires Fred as her speechwriter, much to the horror of her very buttoned-up team.

3. Fleabag

  • Cast: Phoebe Waller-Bridge
  • Number of seasons: 2

Meet Fleabag, a sharp-tongued, no-filter woman just trying to make it through life and love in London—all while dealing with some serious personal baggage. With her dry wit and brutally honest take on everything, she’s navigating the chaos of relationships, family and loss in the most relatable, darkly hilarious way possible.

4. How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days

  • Cast: Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey, Kathryn Hahn and more
  • Runtime: 115 minutes

When columnist Andie Anderson (Hudson) decides to shake things up with her latest piece on how to make a guy leave you in just 10 days, she sets her sights on Ben Berry (McConaughey), a suave executive who’s convinced he can charm any woman into falling for him in 10 days flat. But when Andie and Ben cross paths, their plans hilariously backfire in ways they never saw coming.

5. When Harry Met Sally

  • Cast: Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan
  • Runtime: 96 minutes

In 1977, fresh college grads Harry (Crystal) and Sally (Ryan) take a bumpy road trip from Chicago to New York, debating whether men and women can ever just be friends. Fast forward 10 years, they bump into each other again and—along with their besties, Jess (Bruno Kirby) and Marie (Carrie Fisher)—try to prove that friendship without romance is possible. Spoiler: Like Nobody Wants This, things get complicated.

6. Love Is Blind

  • Cast: Singles from across the U.S.
  • Number of seasons: 7

If you want a bit of a real-world dose of Nobody Wants This, check out Love Is Blind, where singles are on a quest to find love without ever laying eyes on each other. It’s all about building that emotional connection while navigating the wild world of dating—because who knows, maybe feelings will win out over looks.

7. Never Have I Ever

  • Cast: Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Darren Barnet and more
  • Number of seasons: 4

Trade the 30-year-old in Nobody Wants This for teenage years and say hello to Never Have I Ever. This coming-of-age comedy dives into the messy life of a first-generation Indian American teen. Ramakrishnan stars as Devi, an ambitious high schooler with a bit of a temper. This series is all about the hilarious and complicated situations she finds herself in while juggling school, family, relationships and everything in between.

8. Some Girl(s)

  • Cast: Adam Brody, Kristen Bell, Jennifer Morrison and more
  • Runtime: 89 minutes

Bell and Brody are back at it again in this 2013 comedy-drama. However, this time Brody portrays a successful writer who embarks on a cross-country trip right before his wedding to reconnect with his exes and try to make things right. And, Bell plays one of those exes.
