Is there a Season 2 of Nobody Wants This? Everything we can expect, explained

Calling all Rom-com lovers because Netflix’s Nobody Wants This will make you swoon over a feel-good romance series. Starring famed actors Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, the series portrays a glimpse of an authentic relationship - unlike the fairytale one.

From dealing with what to wear on a first date to navigating those complex non-negotiables; Nobody Wants This doesn’t skimp on truth or romance. Netflix dropped the hit show on September 26, 2024, and has 10 wholesome episodes. The romantic drama primarily revolves around two lovestruck individuals Joanne and Noah.

While Joanne runs a successful podcast discussing the fundamentals of relationships and s*x, Noah is an agnostic rabbi. Do note, the story is a “loose adaptation” of Bell’s love story of how she met her real-life husband Dax Shepard, who is Jewish.

Nevertheless, Bell and Brody’s characters go through several heart-melting and spicy moments, realizing they’re perfect, yet, there’s a fundamental reason for not being together.

Joanne embarked on a journey of falling in love and making a rather difficult yet personal choice of being with Noah and pursuing his beliefs of her own accord - similar to Bell’s story with Shepard.

Since premiering, the series has already gained traction with rom-com fans galore and gained a Rotten Tomatoes score of 95%. With viewership ratings going swell and fans ecstatic, one question remains: Would there be a Season 2 of Nobody Wants This?

When Could Netflix's Nobody Wants This return for Season 2?

Since the show recently made it's debut, it would take time for Netflix to greenlight Season 2 of Nobody Wants This. Per multiple reports, Season 1 of the rom-com drama production took place over four months - January to April before seeing a September release.

Should there be a renewal, the team at Nobody Wants This could follow suit and receive a similar September 2025 release date.

This is all still under speculation, especially since there’s no official confirmation about Nobody Wants This getting a Season 2. Hopefully, with rising viewership and a great RT rating, it won’t be long before hearing some good news.

What might Season 2 of Netflix's Nobody Wants This be about?

Season 1 of Nobody Wants This ended with several unanswered questions and one steamy kiss between Joanne and Noah! The duo were in cahoots about entering a relationship because of Noah’s career as a Rabbi.

The ending of episode 10 saw the duo initially break up at a Bat Mitzvah since Joanne didn’t want to convert to his faith.

However, the ending saw Noah choose to be with Joanne over his Rabbi job - the two cement the dawn of a romantic relationship with a promising kiss. Season 2 will revolve around the aftermath of their decision to be together.

Moreover, since turning down his dream job, things would naturally get tumultuous for Noah and per Elle, it may cause resentment toward his beau. Similarly, previous episodes revealed Joanne considering converting to Judaism, not just for the sake of her religion, but also for personal reasons.

Who could return as the cast of Netflix's Nobody Wants This?

Should there be a Season 2 of Nobody Wants This, the protagonists will certainly reprise their roles.

Besides them, several major characters would likely return. Here’s a complete list of the cast more likely to return for a Season 2 of the hit show:
