The Good Place star Kristen Bell has made a reputation for herself with regards to starring in witty and quirky comedies. Her next one, Nobody Wants This, is no exception.

Starring Adam Brody alongside Bell, the show is a romantic comedy that follows the unlikely pair of a s*x-and-dating podcaster and a rabbi.

Since Netflix dropped the trailer of the show, fans’ interest has been piqued. While Bell alone is a great reason to binge this show, the enticing premise makes it all the more exciting.

Let us now look at all the details about Nobody Wants This.


Nobody Wants This Release Date

The 10 episode series debuts on Netflix on September 26, 2024. The streaming platform will be dropping all the episodes simultaneously, giving the viewers an opportunity to binge the show.

You would need an active and paid Netflix subscription to watch Nobody Wants This.

The Adam Brody and Kristen Bell starrer rom-com follows Bell’s character Joanne meeting a devout and hot Rabbi, Brody’s character Noah. Despite their respective vastly different worlds, the two sense an instant attraction.

As they start a highly unlikely relationship, it seems that no one around them really supports their bond.

The official synopsis of Nobody Wants This states:

“An agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi on the rebound walk into a party. When they walk out — together — the unlikely pair, Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody), can tell there is something between them. But also potentially between them, with their differing outlooks on life, all of the modern obstacles to love and their sometimes well-meaning, sometimes sabotaging families — including her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe) and his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons).”
