Adam Brody, star of the popular Netflix series Nobody Wants This, openly declared his support for a free Palestine and described the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict as a genocide in an interview with GQ published on 25 September 2026. The comments come just weeks before the third season of the show is set to premiere on Netflix on 22 October 2026, with all 10 episodes releasing simultaneously.
In the GQ interview, Brody stated: “Put me down as thinking it’s a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine.” He reflected on how recent global events, including the Israel-Gaza war, had challenged his beliefs. “Between COVID, a second Trump term, Israel-Gaza, it’s really brought out some different beliefs that I was ignorant to, and then disheartened by,” Brody told the magazine.
Despite speaking openly now, Brody said he had mostly kept his political views private in the past. “Truthfully, it hasn’t. I have spoken a lot about it privately. I haven’t spoken much about it publicly,” he added.
Independent reports from Deadline and The Forward have corroborated Brody’s statements from the same GQ interview, confirming his position and the timing. The Forward noted that while Brody characterised the war in Gaza as a genocide, this is a contested term internationally. Human rights groups and some international institutions have described the violence with similar language, but the claim remains heavily disputed in broader political and legal contexts.
The release of Brody’s comments also coincides with the official Netflix announcement of Nobody Wants This Season 3’s return. Netflix’s Tudum portal confirms the new season will feature returning characters Joanne and Noah and drop all episodes on 22 October 2026.
Brody’s remarks carry particular weight given his Jewish heritage and his involvement in a mainstream romantic comedy series that enjoys global popularity. His public stance brings a high-profile entertainment figure into the ongoing, polarising conversation about the Israel-Gaza conflict.
What remains unverified is any broader coordinated campaign or political alignment linked to Brody’s comments. The actor’s views, as reported, are his own expression. The contested nature of the term genocide means this remains Brody’s personal assessment and not an established legal fact.
