Created for the small screen by Erin Foster (loosely based on her own experience), the series follows agnostic podcaster, Joanne (Kristen Bell), who falls for an unorthodox rabbi, Noah (Adam Brody), and their unconventional relationship ruffles more than a few feathers along the way. Exploring some of the taboo topics that are often left out of most rom-coms (namely religious differences), the series turns the genre on its ear with plenty of humor and heart.

With such a fun and open-ended premise, Nobody Wants This had immediate second season potential, and speculation has already begun about where Joanne and Noah are headed next. Even more, the series has proven to be a big hit with critics, and the ending of Nobody Wants This season 1 was anything but conclusive. This sets the stage for an ongoing narrative that could continue in not only one more season, but a multi-season arc should Netflix choose to renew. However, as it stands now, Nobody Wants This season 2 hasn’t been given the green light yet.

The Series Creator Weighs In On Season 2

As the possibility of a sophomore outing is being weighed behind-the-scenes at Netflix, the latest news sees series creator Erin Foster discussing Nobody Wants This season 2. Foster based the show loosely on her own experience, and that makes the development of the project all the more personal as it possibly moves forward with more episodes. Foster has teased a change in pace if the show is renewed, revealing that work is already happening to develop more episodes if Netflix wants to renew Nobody Wants This. However, the rom-com is still in limbo until the streamer makes its decision.

Read Foster’s full statement here:

We’re getting a really positive response. And so I think the conversations have definitely started to happen about a potential Season 2. 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!

Nobody Wants This Season 2 Is Not Confirmed

Season 2 Has Not Been Ordered Yet

Netflix rarely makes hasty decisions when it comes to renewing their shows, and even a surefire hit like Nobody Wants This isn’t a guarantee

Despite the fact that Nobody Wants This season 1 is scoring high marks with critics in the early days after its debut, there has been no work on a sophomore outing yet. Netflix rarely makes hasty decisions when it comes to renewing their shows, and even a surefire hit like Nobody Wants This isn’t a guarantee. However, with creator Erin Foster enthusiastic about season 2, and the rom-com proving to be well-received, it makes season 2 seem less like a long shot after all.

Ultimately, the decision will come down to viewership numbers, and those won’t become clear until the show has been on the platform for a while. Though immediate popularity is good, streaming shows usually gain momentum as they go along and can build huge audiences in the weeks or even months after they first drop. On the other hand, Nobody Wants This is the type of show that could break the mold and score a quick renewal.

The cast of Nobody Wants This was perhaps its strongest asset, and the chemistry between stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody has all the hallmarks of a classic rom-com power couple. With that in mind, Bell will need to return as the strong-willed agnostic, Joanne, while Brody should be back as the unorthodox rabbi, Noah. Along with the main duo, the ensemble of Nobody Wants This is just as important, including Joanne’s sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), and Jackie Tohn as Esther, Noah’s protective sister.

The conclusion of season 1 left the couple on shaky ground at best, and there are still plenty of lingering questions that will need to be addressed in Nobody Wants This season 2. Firstly, Joanne’s decision not to convert to Judaism will always be a sticking point until quite a few hearts are changed, though she may eventually make the switch for the right reasons after all. However, there are forces at work to drive the couple apart, and lies from both families are destined to come to a head eventually. How the pair weathers those storms will be the true meat of Nobody Wants This season 2.
