Meester will star alongside lead actors Kristen Bell (Joanne) and Adam Brody (Noah).

Fans of the actress are thrilled to hear she's returning to the small screen, especially in a project as successful as Nobody Wants This.

One wrote: "Ooooh she’s gonna play this role so well."

Another said: "Can't wait to see her bring this character to life!"

What is the show about?

If you've not yet watched Nobody Wants This then you're in for a real treat.

Nobody Wants This is beautifully written, incredibly funny, has complex lead characters, and reminds us that love is worth fighting for, even when the odds are not in your favour.

It has the wit of When Harry Met Sally, New Girl’s charm, and Set It Up’s chemistry.

The synopsis reads:

"An agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi on the rebound walk into a party. When they walk out — together — the unlikely pair, Joanne and Noah, 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 and his brother Sasha."

It is available to watch on Netflix now.
