Nobody Wants This has quickly become a hit on Netflix, sweeping viewers up in the complicated love story between Joanne, an agnostic Los Angeles podcaster played by Kristen Bell, and Noah, a rabbi played by Adam Brody. The show’s unique blend of humour, heart, and religious tension has fans hooked, and now everyone is asking the big question: Will there be a second season?
Has Netflix renewed Nobody Wants This for a season 2?
Netflix just announced that they would renew Nobody Wants This, revealing a second season is set to premiere in 2025.
Adam Brody and Kristen Bell are set to return alongside Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitcock, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Emily Arlook, Jackie Tohn, Sherry Cola, and Shiloh Berman.
The new season is also set to introduce Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan.
News of a second season came as no surprise to expectant fans. The show has consistently hovered in Netflix’s Top 10 since its release, and the positive reviews keep rolling in. Creator Erin Foster, whose real-life love story inspired the series, already expressed her excitement about continuing Joanne and Noah’s journey.
“There’s so much more story to tell,” Foster said in an interview with Today, hinting that a second season could explore the couple’s challenges in even more depth.
Following news of the renewal, Foster added: “The incredible cast, crew, producers, and executives all made this into the show it is today, and to experience viewers’ reactions to this series now that it’s out in the world has been more than anything I could have dreamed. I’m so lucky to be able to continue this story, and to do it alongside Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, who I’ve been such a fan of since Girls…Justice for healthy relationships being the most romantic!”
What could happen in Nobody Wants This season 2?
Without giving too much away, the first season ends on a cliffhanger that leaves fans desperate to know what happens next. Joanne and Noah’s relationship takes a complicated turn after Joanne questions her reasons for converting to Judaism, leading to a heart-wrenching but hopeful finale.
So, what’s next for these two? According to Foster, Season 2 would pick up where we left off, continuing to explore the challenges they face in blending their worlds. “You just get to ‘I love you’ right at the end of the season? That’s a slow trajectory,” Foster told Today, teasing that there’s still a lot of ground to cover in their relationship.
What do the stars say about season 2?
Both Kristen Bell and Adam Brody voiced their interest in returning for another season. Brody mentioned that Noah and Joanne are likely to “meet in the middle” as they try to navigate their differences in Season 2. “It’s such an open-ended ending,” Brody said. “I think they’re going to try to make it work, but what that looks like? I don’t think they even know yet.”
Bell, on the other hand, is excited about the potential for deeper storytelling. “The reason you watch a show is to decide will they or won’t they,” she said, adding that the mystery of their future is what makes the show so compelling. “There’s so much real estate to play with when you’re writing about the challenges of different outlooks on life and love,” she added.
Will Nobody Wants This fans get the happy ending they want?
The burning question on every fan’s mind: Will Noah and Joanne’s love story have a happy ending? While Season 1 left things on a bittersweet note, the cast and creators seem optimistic about the couple’s future. However, the journey will likely be a slow one, as Foster made it clear that their love story is all about taking their time. “If we do get a Season 2, it’s going to be about continuing that slow build,” she said.
So, know that we have official word on a renewal, all signs point to more Nobody Wants This in the future. With fans rallying behind the show and the creators eager to dive deeper into the story, it’s only a matter of time before we find out if Joanne and Noah will get their happily ever after.
Stay tuned for updates—because this love story is far from over!
