The buzz around “Nobody Wants This” is back—and louder than ever. Netflix’s breakout rom-com returns for Season 2 on October 23, 2025, and fans are ready to reunite with Joanne and Noah, played by Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. The first season won viewers over with its quirky mix of humor, heart, and messy modern love, and now the stakes are even higher.
Where We Left Off
Season 1 introduced us to Joanne, a no-filter sex podcaster, and Noah, a progressive rabbi. Their unlikely romance explored interfaith love, personal sacrifice, and emotional growth—with plenty of laughs along the way. The season ended with Noah giving up a prestigious rabbinical role to stay with Joanne, leaving fans wondering: what’s next?
“Nobody Wants This” Season 2: What to Expect
Season 2 picks up right where we left off. Joanne and Noah are trying to make their relationship work in a more “domesticated” setting—but big questions still loom, especially around religion and commitment. Expect deeper dives into their personal struggles and lots more drama with family and friends.
Oh—and new faces are joining the chaos. “Gossip Girl” alum Leighton Meester steps in as Abby, a sharp new character who shakes things up in Joanne’s world.
Bell, Brody, and fan favorites Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn all return. Behind the camera, new showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan (of Girls fame) are taking the reins, with creator Erin Foster still on board as executive producer and writer.
The show’s winning mix of wit, heart, and emotional honesty remains its core. Season 2 promises more of what made us fall in love with Joanne and Noah—plus a few curveballs. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the love, or just to see what happens when opposites really do attract, “Nobody Wants This” is back to prove it’s exactly what we need.
Catch Season 2 exclusively on Netflix starting October 23.
