In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Foster reveals that the original plan she’d envisioned for the show would have had Noah and Joanne getting engaged or married by the end of season 1. The interview was conducted after the romantic comedy was renewed for season 2, with Foster crediting Netflix for pushing the idea that it was better to take things slow with the central pairing of Noah and Joanne. Read the full quote below:
Something that ended up being special about the show, that I really have to give Netflix credit for pushing us to do, was to let the story unfold really slowly in season one. Initially, when I developed the idea, I had seen [Noah and Joanne] getting engaged or married by the finale of season one, and when we got into the writing process Netflix kept being like, “Slow it down, slow it down. We don’t want to get there too quickly.” And it ended up being really great storytelling, because it makes you feel like you’re experiencing the relationship in real time. You can watch a show and have these manufactured time jumps, where you don’t really experience the minutia of how a relationship unfolds, and so we were really able to do that.
What The Ending Change Means For Nobody Wants This Season 2
It’s A Romcom Subversion
Nobody Wants This season 2 will happen with new showrunners at the helm, with Emmy-nominated writers Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan taking over after the series garnered positive reviews and widespread viewership. The original ending, had it taken place, wouldn’t have been absent of drama, since an engagement and a wedding come with their own conflicts. It likely would’ve been a thrilling conclusion. However, the hit Netflix show ends perfectly with the streamer’s proposed changes.
Most romantic comedies end with the couple getting together, with the suggestion being that it serves as the end of all complications. But for Noah and Joanne, not to mention Sasha (Timothy Simons) and Morgan (Justine Lupe), and the rest of the Nobody Wants This characters, the couple getting together is only the start of a bigger problem. It’s a bit of a subversion, which cleverly extends the story. That’s a good thing since Foster has said she’s open to multiple seasons.
Our Take On The Changes In Nobody Wants This
Bring On Season 2
It’ll be worth seeing whether a traditional romcom like Nobody Wants This, which mainly focuses on two characters, can sustain itself for multiple seasons. Nevertheless, it’s better that the series ended the way that it did, with Joanne and Noah still at the beginning of the relationship and still feeling the butterflies, then it would be if they had rushed into a commitment that was more difficult to break. Now, the show can fully track and develop all of the obstacles that come from their relationship, thus deepening their dynamic and characters.
