Warning: this post contains spoilers from Netflix’s Nobody Wants This.
If you’re like us and spent the first half of fall watching Nobody Wants This on Netflix, you’ve probably been combing the internet for season 2 news — and likely not in a calm and collected way. Well, now you can rest: Netflix has officially renewed the series for a second season

The new miniseries starring The O.C. star Adam Brody as “Hot Rabbi” Noah Roklov and Veronica Mars star and OG Gossip Girl narrator Kristen Bell as agnostic sex podcaster Joanne is making major rounds among rom-com aficionados all around the world. Spanning 10 quasi-hour-long episodes, Nobody Wants This centers on the two star-crossed lovers’ instant connection as they try to make things work even when the universe — or, well, in this case, religion — tells them they shouldn’t.
Towards the end of the season, things were looking up for Noah and Joanne, but, of course, a last-minute twist made every single watcher manifest a second season, and our prayers were answered. Here’s everything we know so far about Netflix’s Nobody Wants This season 2, collated all below for your reading pleasure.
Is Nobody Wants This season 2 happening?
On October 10, Netflix finally greenlit Nobody Wants This season 2, exactly two weeks after the series’ official premiere on September 26, 2024. Judging by viewers’ reaction to Nobody Wants This and critic scores (the series boasts a 93% fresh certification on Rotten Tomatoes), the possibility of a second season seemed strong.
What would Nobody Wants This season 2 be about?

This is where we get really spoiler-heavy, so if you are still not caught up with the first 10 episodes of Nobody Wants This, look away. Final spoiler warning here. Ok, now we can talk.
Season 1 of Nobody Wants This ended with a bit of a cliffhanger after Joanne and her sister and podcast companion Morgan (played by Justine Lupe) crash Noah’s niece’s Bat Mitzvah after learning Noah’s ex had lied to them about keeping in touch.
The NYC-themed Bat Mitzvah was a rollercoaster, to put it bluntly, with Joanne making the choice to convert to Judaism and be with Noah freely, only to backtrack a few minutes after after learning about the responsibility a Rabbi’s wife carries.
Joanne gave Noah an ultimatum to pick, and the last we see of him, he decided to chase her, following a bus on foot to kiss her. While the gesture is romantic, it’s also pretty inconclusive, so we assume Nobody Wants This season 2 would pick up right where we left off or at least shortly after to paint the full picture.
Speaking to IndieWire, series creator Erin Foster, who looked to her own life for inspo to pen the show, already teased how the story could potentially go. “The story in Season 1 unfolds really slowly. And so I think if there is a Season 2 I would want to just kind of pick up where we leave off and continue to take it slow, because I don’t want us to get too far ahead of ourselves. I mean, I want my show to be on the air as long as possible!” Foster said.
Who would be in the cast of Nobody Wants This season 2?
Jackie Tohn as Esther, Timothy Simons as Sasha, Kristen Bell as Joanne, and Adam Brody as Noah in

When the renewal news was confirmed, Adam Brody and Kristen Bell’s reprisals of their roles were also confirmed. The core cast is also expected to return, including Justine Lupe as Joanne’s sister Morgan and Timothy Simons as Noah’s brother Sasha, who also have some… let’s call it friendly tension… to resolve in season 2.
When would Nobody Wants This season 2 premiere?
Timothy Simons as Sasha in episode four of Nobody Wants This.
Netflix confirmed on October 10, 2024, that new episodes of Nobody Wants This season 2 will arrive to the streamer in 2025.
Is there a trailer for Nobody Wants This season 2?
