Netflix has confirmed that Nobody Wants This will return for Season 2 on Oct. 23, with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody reprising their roles as Joanne and Noah.
Season 1 of the romantic comedy followed the unlikely relationship between Joanne, an outspoken podcaster, and Noah, a newly single rabbi. Their whirlwind romance captured audiences, earning both Bell and Brody Golden Globe, SAG, and Critics Choice nominations. Brody went on to win the Critics Choice Award.
The upcoming season, created by Erin Foster and executive produced by her sister Sara Foster, will explore what happens when Joanne and Noah attempt to build a future together. “It’s such an interesting part of every relationship,” Foster told Tudum, adding that Season 2 will examine how couples navigate milestones, families, and day-to-day realities.
Alongside Bell and Brody, returning cast members include Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, Jackie Tohn, and Michael Hitchcock. New additions feature Gossip Girl alum Leighton Meester, who plays Joanne’s middle school nemesis Abby, now a mommy influencer. Other newcomers include Miles Fowler (Bottoms), Alex Karpovsky (Girls), and Arian Moayed (Succession).
Behind the scenes, Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, both veterans of Girls, have joined as executive producers and showrunners. Foster said she is “lucky to be able to continue this story” and praised the expanded creative team for keeping the heart of the series intact.
Season 1 ended with Noah choosing Joanne despite their cultural and religious differences. Season 2 will pick up as the couple faces the realities of blending their lives, families, and futures.
Nobody Wants This Season 2 premieres Oct. 23 on Netflix, with Season 1 available to stream now.
