Nobody Wants This season 2 isn’t just a want, it’s a need

Nobody Wants This season 2 isn't just a want, it's a need

As a fan who’s been following comedies for decades, let me tell you, folks, I’ve seen some truly hilarious shows in my time. But none have quite captured the charm and the heart of “Nobody Wants This” like it did this year. The series is not just a laugh riot, it’s a testament to the complexities of modern relationships, set against the backdrop of faith, family, and a whole lot of Jewish humor that makes you go “oh, snap!


2024 saw the debut of an outstanding new comedy series on Netflix titled “Nobody Wants This“. While it’s not necessarily the consensus best comedy of the year, it certainly holds its own in the discussion. The gripping and thought-provoking season finale has left us eagerly awaiting a second season immediately.

Erin Foster developed a TV show drawing from her real-life transition into Judaism and marriage with Simon Tikhman as a foundation. This tale, though generally inspired by these events, portrays Kristen Bell as the unpolished podcast host Joanne, who encounters Adam Brody’s orthodox Jewish rabbi Noah. As they nurture their mutual attraction, those around them seem to oppose their relationship.

Over various challenges, romantic encounters, and disagreements within their families, Joanne and Noah’s relationship is put to the ultimate test in the first season of “Nobody Wants This.” Here’s why a second season is necessary, along with comments from Bell and Brody, as well as some predictions by Foster about what might happen next.

Warning: Spoilers ahead from the Nobody Wants This season finale.

Nobody Wants This season 2 needs to happen

By the end of the season, Joanne feels ready to tackle whatever comes her way – the world, the temple, the Roklov family, and anything in between – all to be with Noah and embrace Judaism. However, a chat with Rebecca makes her question the gravity and burden of her decision to convert, leading her to wonder if she’s doing it solely for being with Noah.

She makes an effort (keyword) to end things with Noah, appearing to act according to what she thinks is best in that instant. She doesn’t want to interfere with his ambition of becoming a head rabbi and potentially ruining his goal. Yet, Noah catches up to her and they share a kiss. He admits that he can’t hold onto the head rabbi position and maintain a relationship with her at the same time, but his tone doesn’t reflect much worry.

Instead of waiting idly, we require clarification on their next steps. Is Joanne inclined towards conversion? Will Noah secure his desired position as head rabbi? Can they manage to achieve both? These are the unresolved queries left by Nobody Wants This, and the probability of resolving them hinges upon viewer engagement. Netflix typically evaluates audience interest during the initial weeks for deciding further action.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight before the show’s premiere, Bell and Brody discussed season 2 possibilities, such as if their real-life spouses, Dax Shepard and Leighton Meester, might make a cameo or guest appearance. Both stars seemed open to involving their real-life partners in the series, creating an even greater anticipation for season 2!

Bell appeared hopeful and thrilled at the possibility of delving deeper into the intricacies of Joanne and Noah’s relationship, following the suspenseful ending of the first season. In an interview with Entertainment Today, this is what Bell shared on the chances of season 2:

Sure! I mean, look, the complexity of this show is because it’s exploring what a real relationship in modern day dating times looks like. There’s nothing polished about it. It’s getting into the nitty gritty, so as long as humans remain complex and are deciding whether or not to cohabitate with one another, there will always be room for another season.

The duo further shared with Rolling Stone that they are eager to continue working on Nobody Wants This for as long as Netflix permits them, essentially indicating an unwavering dedication. In simpler terms, if given the opportunity, they’re willing to pour their hearts into several more seasons of the show.

The interview with series creator Erin Foster, as featured in Vulture, hinted at the potential for a second season. If given the opportunity to continue the story, Foster expressed her desire to explore more about the process of converting, which could mean Joanne undergoing conversion in season 2, but this remains speculative until a renewal is officially confirmed.

In essence, the second season of Nobody Wants This should definitely be produced, regardless if the initial season was watched for a billion minutes or just a hundred in its debut week. The globe yearns for light-hearted entertainment, and Bell, Brody, and Foster have struck gold with their heartfelt humor. Netflix, don’t let this opportunity pass you by! Your platform could greatly benefit from a fresh, original comedy hit, and it seems that you’ve found it right here.
