5 Kristen Bell Best Movies and Shows to Binge Before ‘Nobody Wants This’ S2 Arrives
There’s no way you are still not in love with this energetic and absolutely adorable actress, but if you really missed out, watch these 5 projects with Kristen Bell.
With Nobody Wants This Season 2 around the corner, there’s no better time to dive back into the charming and rather versatile filmography of Kristen Bell. My personal journey with her started with the series called The Good Place (which I will tell you about later), but Nobody Wants This may probably be my favorite romantic comedy with her.
So if these two titles are new for you, check out the article to find out what else is there with Kristen Bell as a main character.
1. ‘Frozen’ & ‘Frozen II’ (2013, 2019)
IMDb: 7.4/10 (Frozen); 6.8/10 (Frozen II)
Rotten Tomatoes: 89% from critics, 85% from audience (Frozen); 77% from critics, 92% from audience (Frozen II)
No Kristen Bell binge is complete without her role as Anna in Disney’s Frozen franchise. With boundless energy and emotional depth, Bell brought Anna to life with both her voice and musical talents, helping turn the films into global phenomena.
2. ‘The Good Place’ (2016–2020)

IMDb: 8.2/10
Rotten Tomatoes: 97% from critics, 90% from audience
A morality lesson never looked so entertaining. In this critically acclaimed afterlife comedy, Bell plays Eleanor Shellstrop, a deeply flawed woman who finds herself in the wrong version of heaven. After realizing where she really is, Eleanor starts rethinking all of her life choices and makes a goal to become a better person at least in the afterlife. And her journey is worth following.
3. ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ (2008)
IMDb: 7.1/10
Rotten Tomatoes: 84% from critics, 76% from audience
Bell’s turn as the titular Sarah Marshall in this hilarious breakup comedy showcased her willingness to play against type. The film balances raunchy humor with sincere emotion, and Bell brings unexpected nuance to what could’ve been a one-note role. The cast of the movie is another reason why it’s important you binge it ASAP.
4. ‘Veronica Mars’ (2004–2019)
IMDb: 8.3/10
Rotten Tomatoes: 92% from critics, 79% from audience
Before she was everyone’s favorite animated princess Anna from Frozen, Kristen Bell made waves as teen detective Veronica Mars. Smart and sarcastic, she was the star of this emotionally grounded series, which offered a rather rare blend of noir mystery and high school drama. Her performance as Mars is truly unforgettable.
5. ‘The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window’ (2022)
IMDb: 6.4/10
Rotten Tomatoes: 53% from critics, 45% from audience
Don’t let the ratings fool you into omitting this series. In this darkly comedic Netflix miniseries, Bell embraces parody and psychological thriller tropes at its best. With wine, mystery, and ridiculous twists, it’s a fun binge that lets Bell flex her range as both a comedic and dramatic actress.
