Netflix has officially announced the return of its hit comedy series Nobody Wants This, set to premiere its much-anticipated second season in 2025. The news was shared by Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria on Thursday during the Bloomberg Screentime Conference in Los Angeles, to the excitement of fans and industry insiders alike.
If you haven’t watched Nobody Wants This yet, the story kicks off with an agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi on the rebound who walk into a party. When they walk out—together—the unlikely pair, Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody), sense an undeniable spark. But their budding connection faces challenges: from clashing outlooks on life to modern relationship obstacles, and even the well-meaning, if sometimes sabotaging, antics of their families—including Joanne’s sister, Morgan (Justine Lupe), and Noah’s brother, Sasha (Timothy Simons).
This charming comedy brings a fresh take on the complexities of love, faith, and family, making it a must-watch.
Bringing fresh creative energy to Season 2, Jenni Konner (Girls, Deli Boys, Welcome to Chippendales) and Bruce Eric Kaplan (Girls, No Good Deed, Six Feet Under) are joining the team as Executive Producers and Showrunners. Nora Silver (Deli Boys, Welcome to Chippendales, Single Drunk Female) also joins the ranks as an Executive Producer, setting the stage for what promises to be another season of memorable moments and laughs.
For creator and Executive Producer Erin Foster, the renewal is a dream come true. Reflecting on the journey so far, Foster shared, “Creating Nobody Wants This will forever be a career highlight for me. 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!”
Jenni Konner expressed her own excitement about joining the show, stating, “It’s a dream to be working on Nobody Wants This. Erin is the rare creator with a crystal clear voice and a genuinely collaborative spirit. I am a true fan of Erin’s show and also feel so lucky to be back in a room with two of my favorites, Bruce Kaplan and Sarah Heyward from Girls.”
Bruce Eric Kaplan echoed this enthusiasm, saying, “I am excited beyond belief to be a part of Season 2 of Nobody Wants This, created by the hilarious Erin Foster. It is such a unique and beautiful show, and I am already having the best time working on it.”
The show follows the lives of Joanne (Kristen Bell), an agnostic podcast host, and Noah (Adam Brody), an unconventional rabbi, who find themselves unexpectedly drawn to each other. Their budding connection, however, is challenged by their clashing worldviews, modern relationship hurdles, and occasionally meddlesome families, including Joanne’s sister, Morgan (Justine Lupe), and Noah’s brother, Sasha (Timothy Simons).
With an outstanding ensemble cast featuring Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, and Timothy Simons, as well as additional key players like Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitchcock, Tovah Feldshuh, and Sherry Cola, Nobody Wants This promises to delve deeper into the quirky and heartwarming dynamics that made it a breakout hit.
Fans of the show can look forward to another season filled with laughter, insight, and perhaps a little more wisdom on the realities of love and relationships. Nobody Wants This continues to push boundaries, bringing humor and heart to life’s complexities, and the next season promises even more to love.
