    Nobody Wants This Is Returning for Season 2, Because You Wanted It

    Prepare to swoon over Adam Brody and Kristen Bell’s romance for another season.
    Oct. 10, 2024

The first season of Nobody Wants This ended with rabbi Noah (Adam Brody) and podcaster Joanne sharing a romantic kiss in a parking lot after leaving a bat mitzvah. You know, classic rom-com stuff. While there are still plenty of obstacles in the way of their love, Netflix has renewed the Erin Foster-created series for Season 2 — leaving lots of time to explore those road blocks. 

Creating Nobody Wants This will forever be a career highlight for me,” Foster told Netflix. “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.”

Joining the team as executive producers and showrunners for Season 2 are Jenni Konner (Girls) and Bruce Eric Kaplan (Girls, No Good Deed, Six Feet Under), and Nora Silver (Deli Boys, Welcome to Chippendales, Single Drunk Female) is on board as an executive producer.

“I’m so lucky to be able to continue this story,” said Foster, “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!”

Season 1 saw the lovebirds fall for each other quickly, but the fact that Joanne isn't Jewish was a major complication for a rabbi. While Joanne considered converting, she admitted she wasn’t quite ready to commit to that process just yet. It seemed that the duo would have to go their separate ways, but Noah’s grand gesture in the parking lot showed that he’s not ready to give up on their love — and neither is she. 

Brody tells Tudum that he interpreted the ending as Noah promising Joanne, “I put you first. Everything else will work itself out, but I’m saying that you are my priority.”

Of course, “everything else” is a lot. The cultural differences between the two are vast, and Joanne isn’t necessarily beloved by Noah’s close-knit family. “In the light of day, will he still feel that way? I don’t know,” Brody adds. “It’s an open question.” 

Luckily, Season 2 can dig into that tension as the duo decide to commit — or not. 

“I think that’s what the show can explore,” Brody says. “What should he do? What should she do? What version of sacrifice is worth it? What constitutes growth, or what constitutes dimming yourself to be with someone else? It’s a sacrifice, but ideally, you grow together and you’re better for it — you don’t have to [lop] off a limb.”

New showrunners Konner and Kaplan described their new gig as a “dream,” with Konner adding, “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.” 

“I am excited beyond belief to be a part of Season 2 of Nobody Wants This, created by the hilarious Erin Foster,” Kaplan told Netlfix. “It is such a unique and beautiful show, and I am already having the best time working on it.”
