It’s been two months since Nobody Wants This hit Netflix and enchanted the world with an unexpected relationship between a Jewish rabbi (Adam Brody) and a sex podcast host (Kristen Bell). And now, we want more.
The show, which is loosely based on creator Erin Foster’s own love story, quickly became a smash hit for the streaming platform and was immediately lauded as one of the funniest (and sexiest) new shows of 2024. How funny and sexy is this show? Fans have created thousands of TikTok edits, written full-blown dissertations on the relationship dynamics at play, and even sold out the outfits worn by the characters in the show. It’s legit.
So here we are, wondering if and when we will get another fix of Joanne (Bell) and Noah’s (Brody) unconventional courtship. And don’t get us wrong, we love the incredible chemistry between the two main players, but we’re also missing the eccentric cast of characters that make up the killer ensemble, including Joanne’s sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), Noah’s brother Sasha (Timothy Simons), and Noah’s sister-in-law Esther (Jackie Tohn). We can only venture to guess how these rambunctious players will shake things up — we’re looking at you Morgan and Sasha — in the new season. Will their flirtship (a cross between a flirtation and a friendship) take a turn and how will Esther approach Sasha after finding out about his contact with Morgan?
We didn’t even get into the fact that Season 1 left much to the imagination on where Joanne and Noah are headed after a moment of uncertainty and a brief breakup. We have so many questions about how the story will move forward!
Luckily, we are committed to answering the rhetorical questions we ask here at Decider. The bad news is that we will have to wait a bit on the plot details of Season 2, but we can answer questions like if there will be a second season and when it can be expected. Keep reading to find out everything we know about the deliciously scandalous rom-com.
Is Nobody Wants This Coming Back For a Season 2?
Yes! Nobody Wants This was renewed for a second season in early October after premiering at the end of September. It took just two weeks for Netflix to give the show the green light!
According to Netflix data, some 15.9 million viewers watched the show in its first full week of streaming on the platform. In fact, it became the No. 1 English-language show on Netflix for a stretch in October, even beating out Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
When Will Nobody Wants This Season 2 Release on Netflix?
Sadly, no date for Nobody Wants This Season 2 has been confirmed. But fear not, there is a hopeful and exciting update on the show’s progress, straight from one of the stars. In November, Brody spoke with Variety and shared that filming for Season 2 begins in February.
“Weâre shooting in February and hopefully theyâll have it out by September next year,” The O.C. alum told the outlet. Fingers crossed things go according to plan!
Around the same time, Foster posted a group pic of the creatives for Season 2 all wearing matching sweatshirts in the writers’ room, joking that their “creative juices” are flowing.
Has Netflix Added Anyone To the Cast or Crew for Season 2?
No big updates on the cast (is it too early to wish for a reunion with some of Bell’s The Good Place co-stars or Brody’s O.C. cast mates?) but we do know about some new faces on the producing side of the camera.
For Season 2, Foster and Netflix have brought in Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, two of the creative minds behind HBO’s Girls. The pair will act as co-showrunners while Single Drunk Female alum Nora Silver joins as an executive producer.
âIâm so lucky to be able to continue this story,â Foster told Tudum, “and to do it alongside Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, who Iâve been such a fan of since Girls. ⦠Justice for healthy relationships being the most romantic!â
“I am excited beyond belief to be a part of Season 2 of Nobody Wants This, created by the hilarious Erin Foster,” Kaplan added. “It is such a unique and beautiful show, and I am already having the best time working on it.”
