Who are the new showrunners of the series?
In addition to the series renewal, Netflix announced new showrunners for season 2: Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, who previously worked together as executive producers of Girls. Nobody Wants This’s creator, Erin Foster, will continue to serve as an executive producer on Nobody Wants This and shared her enthusiasm in a statement.
“I’m so lucky to be able to continue this story, and to do it alongside Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, who I’ve been such a fan of since Girls… Justice for healthy relationships being the most romantic!” Foster said.
Konner, who also worked on Welcome to Chippendales and Single Drunk Female, said, “It’s a dream to be working on Nobody Wants This. Erin is the rare creator with a crystal clear voice and a genuinely collaborative spirit. I am a true fan of Erin’s show and also feel so lucky to be back in a room with two of my favorites, Bruce Kaplan and Sarah Heyward from Girls.”
And Kaplan, whose credits include Six Feet Under, said, “I am excited beyond belief to be a part of Season 2 of Nobody Wants This, created by the hilarious Erin Foster. It is such a unique and beautiful show and I am already having the best time working on it.”
Nora Silver, President at Jenni Konner Productions, is also joining as an executive producer. According to Deadline, the deals for Konner, Kaplan, and Silver to join were made prior to the series premiere on September 26.
When will season 2 be released?
The new season is “slated to premiere in 2025,” according to Netflix. We’ll have to hang tight for an exact date.
At the time of the announcement in October, Deadline reported that the writers’ room had already “has been open for a couple of weeks.”
What would Nobody Wants This season 2 be about?
Spoilers below.
The story was created by Erin Foster and it is a loosely autobiographical story abut her own experience with meeting her real life partner. Bell plays Joanne, a podcaster who mainly covers sex and dating. She meets Noah, played by Brody, a rabbi. Joanne identifies as agnostic and she is not Jewish, which creates a number of cultural distances between her and Noah’s friends, family, and daily life—especially as Noah tries to move up in the synagogue.
The couple are off-and-on throughout the season, but Joanne ultimately ends things because she doesn’t want to make Noah choose between his role as a religious leader and his relationship with her. But he decides to give up on his dream position as head rabbi to be with her, ending the finale episode with a kiss.
Season 2 will likely deal with the fallout of this major decision and any possible resentments that crop up around his sacrifice. Joanne has also considered conversion, so that might be an ongoing conversation.
Who would return for season 2 of Nobody Wants This?
Bell and Brody would have to return, of course, but other recurring cast members include Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, Jackie Tohn, Emily Arlook, Sherry Cola, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Stephanie Faracy, and Michael Hitchcock.
