Netflix drops Nobody Wants This season 2 trailer teasing Kristen Bell, Adam Brody’s evolving romance

Netflix has released the official trailer for Season 2 of its romantic dramedy Nobody Wants This, which is set to premiere all episodes on October 23. The new season picks up after the events of Season 1 and follows Joanne (Kristen Bell), a skeptical podcaster, and Noah (Adam Brody), an unconventional rabbi, as they take the next steps in their unlikely relationship.

The first season chronicled the couple’s initial tension-filled connection, where differing worldviews and personal histories created both comedic and emotional friction. Now, in Season 2, the characters begin to navigate the “honeymoon phase” of their relationship, despite Joanne’s hesitation to convert to Judaism — a decision she made clear in the Season 1 finale.

Speaking at the 2025 Televerse Festival, creator and showrunner Erin Foster offered insight into what viewers can expect. “Everyone’s past the threshold where you ask if you and your partner are going to dinner with each other’s families or if you are going to cohabitate with one another,” Foster explained, suggesting that the season will explore the complexities of deeper commitment.

In addition to the central romance, Season 2 will also delve into the marriage of supporting characters Sasha (Timothy Simons) and Esther (Jackie Tohn), offering a contrast to Joanne and Noah’s developing bond. Justine Lupe returns as a series regular, and the cast expands to include Leighton Meester, Arian Moayed, Miles Fowler, and Alex Karpovsky.

Behind the scenes, the creative team welcomes Girls alumni Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan as co-showrunners and executive producers alongside Foster, potentially adding new layers to the show’s blend of humor, emotional honesty, and cultural tension.

Nobody Wants This continues to explore themes of identity, love, faith, and the uncomfortable questions that arise when opposites attract. Season 2 promises both romantic progress and personal upheaval as Joanne and Noah navigate the messy, meaningful middle of a modern relationship.
