Adam Brody will star opposite Kristen Bell in an upcoming comedy series for Netflix, Variety has learned.
The untitled series was ordered at the streamer back in March. It centers on the unlikely relationship between the outspoken, agnostic Joanne (Bell) and unconventional rabbi Noah (Brody).
The character Noah is further described as a charming rabbi who is stuck in his ways and used to playing things safe. He starts to stumble when he meets a brutally honest and provocative Joanne, totally upending his safe life plan.
Brody is best known for his role in the hit Fox drama series The O.C., while his other TV credits include Fleishman Is in Trouble, Mrs. America, StartUp, and Single Parents. He has also appeared in films such as Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Jennifers Body, Sleeping with Other People, and Promising Young Woman.
He is repped by UTA and Viewpoint.
Erin Foster created the Netflix series and serves as executive producer. Bell also executive produces in addition to starring. Steven Levitan executive produces via Steven Levitan Productions (SLP). Craig DiGregorio, Sara Foster, and Danielle Stokdyk also executive produce. Oly Obst and Josh Lieberman are executive producers for 3 Arts. 20th Television will produce in association with SLP, with the company currently under an overall deal at the studio.
The show marks the second Netflix series in which Bell has starred. She previously led the dark comedy series The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window at the streamer.
