“I hear everyone loves it and I couldn’t be more excited, ’cause literally Kristen [Bell] and Adam [Brody] both I love, and are like my people,” she said of the rom-com series. “So I’m really excited about it and excited for them.”

Though it’s been over two decades since the popular Fox series aired, Brody has reprised his heartthrob status as what People is calling the “Adam Brody Renaissance.”

“I feel like it’s always been there,” Bilson, told People at a SimpliSafe launch event. “But if it is, it’s well deserved.”

Bilson continued, saying she would be ecsta💛tic if the show triggered a larger romantic comedy renaissance.

“I’m a huge rom-com person myself, so yeah, I would jump at a chance, just because I am such a movie nerd like that with anything romantic,” Bilson said.

Viewers have gone crazy about the chemistry between Bell (Joanne) and Brody (“Hot Rabbi” Noah) on the show, thanks in part to their steamy kiss.

Brody said on that the chemistry betw𓂃een him and Bell worked so well because t💮hey know each other. 

“I think there’s some trust there, there’s some familiarity,” Brody said.

Bell, 44🌸, said during an interview that she can acknowledge while watching the show t🐷hat it was hot.

“. Like, watching the first episode, he was like, ‘Oh my god, I want you to kiss him so badly,’” the “Frozen” actress said.

“I’m not trying to be reductive, but I think there’s a math to it. You have two actors that know how to stare dopily into each other’s eyes, and you have to have the confidence to expand that and really sit the anticipatory value before the kiss — which I think is really important,l” she continued.
