Hocus Pocus Easter Egg in Netflix’s Nobody Wants This Season 2

Heads up – spoilers ahead for season 2 of Nobody Wants This! If you’re a fan of Hocus Pocus, keep an eye out for a fun reference in the Netflix series Nobody Wants This. The show follows Kristen Bell as Joanne, a sex podcaster, and her relationship with Noah (Adam Brody), a rabbi. A central question of the series is whether their unconventional relationship can succeed, and it seems to hinge on Joanne’s potential decision to convert to Judaism.

The second season of Nobody Wants This is now available on Netflix, perfect for a Halloween binge! Viewers can once again enjoy performances by Bellamy Young and Kyle Brody, along with other talented cast members like Stephanie Faracy, who plays Lynn, Joanne’s quirky mother. While Faracy has a long history in film and TV, many will recognize her as Jenny Dennison, the mother of Max and Dani, from the original Hocus Pocus movie.

Stephanie Faracy Wears Her Madonna Costume From Hocus Pocus In Netflix’s Nobody Wants This

If you missed it, the actress who played Joanne’s mom in Nobody Wants This also played the mom in Hocus Pocus. You might have noticed the connection in season 2 when her character celebrated Purim – a Jewish holiday often called the Jewish Halloween, where people wear costumes. Joanne’s family was invited to a Purim celebration, and the actress, Lynn Faracy, dressed up for the occasion.

In the film Nobody Wants This, actress Faracy wore a costume inspired by Madonna – and it was the very same outfit she famously wore in the 1993 movie Hocus Pocus. Even after over 30 years, she still rocks the look! While there are different takes on Madonna’s iconic Blond Ambition Tour outfit, it’s clear this was a deliberate and fun reference to Faracy’s memorable role.

Staphanie Faracy’s Hocus Pocus & Nobody Wants This Characters Share Hilarious Similarities

The joke behind Faracy’s Madonna costume is identical in both Hocus Pocus and Nobody Wants This. The costume references Madonna’s image as a sex symbol, and the humor comes from the idea that it’s the last thing a child would want to see their mother wearing. In Nobody Wants This, Faracy’s character is already known for being an unconventional parent, making the outrageous Purim outfit perfectly in character.

It’s easy to picture the writers of Nobody Wants This thinking of the famous costume scene from Hocus Pocus when deciding what Faracy should wear in season two. Dressing her as Madonna is a perfect fit for her character, and it’s also a playful nod to Faracy’s own memorable appearance from three decades earlier.
