The series, which debuted on the streaming service on Sept. 26, follows “an agnostic sex podcaster and a newly single rabbi [who] fall in love,” according to an officialsynopsis.

The description goes on to ask, “But can their relationship survive their wildly different lives and meddling families?”

“I’m not trying to be reductive, but I think there’s a math to it,” she told E! News. “You have two actors that know how to stare dopily into each other’s eyes, and you have to have the confidence to expand that and really sit the anticipatory value before the kiss — which I think is really important.”

“Whether or not people want to see you end up with someone is a crap shoot, and we just kind of got lightning in a bottle,” she added of their connection in theErin Foster-created series.

Bell and Shepardshare daughtersLincoln, 11, and Delta, 9. After more than a decade of marriage and two kids, Bell explained what drew her to her latest role.

“I liked it so much because it felt like a very modern take on romance, and the characters are not 22, they’re, like, 38,” she told PEOPLE. “It addresses everything from the perils of dating apps to more serious topics like what it means for people with different backgrounds and outlooks on life to bridge those differences in the name of love."

And while Shepard may be supporting his wife’s role inNobody Wants This, Bell recently told PEOPLE they can be quite competitive.

“We’re competitive together all the time, but we’re nice when we’re playing pickleball,” the actress exclusively told PEOPLE in an article published on Sept. 28. “We’re not trying to make each other break a hip or anything.”

Nobody Wants Thisis now streaming on Netflix.
