Why Kristen Bell Returned to Act for Netflix’s ‘Modern’ RomCom Nobody wants this: ‘It was time for me to come back’ (Exclusive)

Erin Foster is the producer of the new Netflix series and said it is based on her own love story. In 2019, Foster decided to convert to Judaism for her now-husband Simon Tikhman, and he suggested she write a show about the experience.

In an episode of her and sister Sarah Foster’s podcast, The first podcast in the worldFoster revealed how the show was originally titled Shiksha (a term generally used by Jews to describe a Gentile woman). She also said the idea “clicked” as soon as Tikhman brought it up, and while it’s not biographical, it’s a “love letter” to her marriage.

The Favorite daughter the founder used her husband as an inspiration for Noah and herself for Joanne, explaining that he was “emotionally available, chivalrous, old-fashioned… but also very funny and confident.” One thing she joked she had to give Noah was “rizz.”

Tikhman’s family life also mirrors Noah’s, as he is the son of Jewish Russian immigrants. “We didn’t come from similar backgrounds,” Foster said. “He came from a much more traditional place. I came from a more unconventional place. When we got together, we were like, ‘How is this going to work?'”

One thing that was different between fiction and reality? Foster was welcomed into the Tikhman family with open arms. “You have to have conflict for a TV show so you have to create people who are against the relationship,” she explained on the podcast.

Other scenes, like the one where Noah brought a large bouquet of sunflowers to meet Joanne’s parents and Joanne and her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe) also rang true.
