Netflix fans are diving back into the emotional rollercoaster of Nobody Wants This with the release of season 2, and actress Justine Lupe is opening up about the challenges her character, Morgan, faces in this highly anticipated new season. Known as the younger sister and podcast co-host of Kristen Bell’s Joanne, Morgan is navigating a period of intense self-discovery and emotional turmoil.

In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE, Lupe described Morgan as being “in crisis” throughout the second season, a period where she struggles to find stability and confidence in herself. “I think the whole season is Morgan not feeling very secure within herself and very comfortable on her own,” Lupe explained. “She’s feeling like she’s just kind of hanging on to flag poles along the way, being in the middle of a storm, just being like, ‘Help me. Help me. Help me.'”

Morgan’s Emotional Journey in Season 2

While Morgan often maintains a confident exterior, portraying the appearance of a woman in love, her relationship with Dr. Andy (played by Arian Moayed) reveals deeper insecurities and vulnerabilities. Despite their romantic involvement, Morgan faces the realization that her personal growth cannot rely on anyone else.

Lupe elaborates, “Part of what makes this show resonate is that we’re watching fully adult, evolved individuals in their late 30s and early 40s fall in love, and Morgan is right there. She’s desperate not to be left behind as Joanne and Noah’s love story unfolds.”

Morgan’s struggle is relatable: she wants her own fairy tale but realizes that true fulfillment must come from within. This journey reaches a pivotal moment when she calls off her engagement with Dr. Andy, a decision that highlights her growing independence and agency. “This is the moment where she’s saying, ‘I’m okay. I’m going to be okay by myself, and I have to do this the right way,'” Lupe said, emphasizing the significance of this turning point for Morgan’s character arc.

Possible Romantic Developments with Sasha

Season 2 also teases potential future storylines, including the dynamic between Morgan and Sasha (Timothy Simons), who is newly single after splitting from his wife Esther (Jackie Tohn). Lupe shares her excitement about exploring their chemistry: “Tim is my favorite person to act with. He’s a dear friend of mine, and I just love being in scenes with him. I’m very hands-off about what the writers do and just excited to see any iteration of their dynamic.”

Fans can look forward to seeing Morgan navigate this new chapter in her life, whether it’s romantic, platonic, or purely a journey of self-discovery. “I think it could just be really fun to watch them be weird, oddball buddies roaming around town trying to be each other’s wingman,” Lupe added.
