The buzz around Season 2 of “Nobody Wants This” just got louder—Seth Rogen and Kate Berlant are joining the cast. And the timing couldn’t be better: this is a massive week for Rogen, who just scored four Primetime Emmys for writing, starring in, and creating Apple TV+’s “The Studio”, which made history as the most-awarded comedy series ever.
The show, which won fans with its quirky love story between Joanne (Kristen Bell), a bold podcaster, and Noah (Adam Brody), a kindhearted rabbi, has carved out its own lane in the rom-com world. Season 2 promises to dive deeper into their unconventional romance while layering in new conflicts, fresh laughs, and emotional twists.
An Evolution of “Nobody Wants This”
Adding Rogen and Berlant into the mix feels like a natural evolution. Rogen’s comedic timing and fresh Emmy-winning momentum, combined with Berlant’s sharp, offbeat humor, bring new energy to a cast that already includes Justine Lupe and Timothy Simons as Joanne and Noah’s siblings. Their dynamic with the returning ensemble is expected to deliver both comedy gold and heartfelt moments.
Behind the scenes, co-showrunner Jenni Konner says, “Seth and Kate Berlant’s energy together was a dream.” That enthusiasm mirrors the anticipation fans are voicing online, where theories and excitement about the new season are already flying.
Season 2 will continue to tackle themes of love, identity, and belonging, while keeping the balance of humor and heart that made the first season stand out. With the promise of big laughs, relatable characters, and a few surprises along the way, “Nobody Wants This” is shaping up to be one of fall’s most irresistible binges. Season 2 premieres October 23 on Netflix.
