Jackie Tohn Teases a ‘Whole New Journey' for Esther in ‘Nobody Wants This' Season 3 (Exclusive)
Actress and musician Jackie Tohn teased what's coming in Nobody Wants This Season 3 and shared additional insights into other projects and partnerships she currently has in the works.
Season 3 of the fan-favorite Netflix show is officially in production, and although there's currently no confirmed release date, fans are eager to see what happens next, especially for Tohn's character, Esther. The Season 2 finale of Nobody Wants Thisrevealed that Esther and her husband, Sasha (Timothy Simons) are taking a break, which means a major narrative shift for both characters.
Of the upcoming season, Tohn shared, "A lot of our Season 3 guest stars were announced, so we're going to have Sarah Silverman on the show this season. We're going to have Andrew Rannells on the show this season. Erin Foster herself will be guesting. So that's really exciting."
"In Season 2, Esther was really given the opportunity to, I don't know, be a lot more multidimensional than she was in Season 1...But at the end of Season 2, she and Sasha go on this break, so Season 3 is just going to be a whole new journey for her, you know? She's trying to figure out who she is outside of being a wife and a mother," Tohn said.
Tohn also spoke very highly of her Nobody Wants This castmates.
"They're such dreams," she said. "I'm just in a really lucky place where I'm doing-I have little chills, and I don't know if it's braggadocious, so it makes me a little nervous to say-but to get to work on things and with people that you want to work with and be around, as a person who truly didn't get to do that for the majority of my career. I was just hustling and traveling everywhere and had a guitar on my back and just got any gig I could get."
Among the projects Tohn is enthusiastic about is her current partnership with Dawn, particularly highlighting Dawn Powerwash Dish Spray and its ability to clean even daunting, stuck-on messes.
About the collaboration, Tohn said, "I'm so excited about my partnership with Dawn. I only partner with companies that I actually utilize, and I've been a Dawn girly forever. Somehow, and this is embarrassing, I was sleeping on Powerwash. I was just using Dawn dish soap for everything."
Tohn continued, "When we were talking about maybe working together, I was talking to my reps, and I was like, I'm already in; I already use Dawn...I love these guys, and I love the product, so it was kind of a no-brainer."
Tohn said that she especially finds the product useful when making kugel, including sweet noodle kugel, which she often makes for Jewish holidays.
"That's a three-day soak. It's not a 24 hour soak. That's like, you do the 24 hours, then you scrub it, then you do it again. And I recently made a kugel. I do the Dawn Powerwash; I feel like the heroine in a movie when you spray it. And I know you're supposed to do one long spray, because I was taught by people very high up at Dawn, if you don't mind," Tohn joked.
She went on, "So you don't do little weird spritzes. You do a full nice long spray all across the kugel pan-also known as a lasagna pan-and, truly, you just wait. And then when all the little suds go away, you rinse it, and you're like, 'How? How did that just go away?'"
For Tohn, both her partnership with Dawn and her upcoming season of Nobody Wants This reflect the current place she's in.
Tohn said, "To be in a place where I get to work with these incredible people and work with this incredible brand, it's just like, can I say it feels very good and beats the alternative?"
