Nobody Wants This creator squashes Morgan and Sasha romance hopes for season 2

As a fan who has binged watched every episode of Nobody Wants This in a single sitting (and yes, I did it for research purposes), I have to admit that the chemistry between Morgan and Sasha was undeniably electrifying. Their friendship blossomed like a rare flower in the desert, and watching their bond grow was one of the most delightful aspects of the series.


Fans of the Netflix romantic comedy series “Nobody Wants This” have noticed the growing chemistry between characters Morgan (Justine Lupe) and Sasha (Timothy Simons). The bond between these two characters, initially portrayed as ‘loser siblings’ to the main couple Joanne and Noah, has developed into an unlikely friendship that some viewers are rooting for, or “shipping”. By the end of the season, Morgan’s affection towards Sasha became more evident.

Following Joanne and Noah’s advancement in their relationship, fans who root for Morgan and Sasha have been eagerly anticipating the siblings to explore the chemistry between them in season 2 of “Nobody Wants This.” However, unfortunately for those wishing for a sibling romance storyline, it seems that will not materialize.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the show’s creator, executive producer, and co-showrunner Erin Foster dismissed speculation about Morgan and Sasha developing a romantic relationship in season 2. Instead, the series will change the dynamics between these characters and steer them towards a new direction. Read on to learn more about Foster’s rationale behind this decision.

Morgan and Sasha aren’t getting together in Nobody Wants This season 2

Since the Netflix release and widespread acclaim of “Nobody Want This“, there has been an abundance of discussion surrounding the series. Topics range from its portrayal of Judaism, women, family ties, and various other aspects, sparking conversation everywhere. Currently, the discourse centers on the supporting characters in the show.

A remade version of Morgan and Sasha’s scenes garnered massive attention on social platforms, boasting over a million views and 11K likes so far. The video’s popularity sparked a heated discussion, with opinions evenly divided: Some fans are hoping for a romantic development between Morgan and Sasha in season 2, while others don’t want Sasha to be unfaithful to his wife Esther (played by Jackie Tohn) with Morgan. There seems to be no clear winner in this debate.

The post that went viral and instigated the debate featured the caption (in all caps!), “We don’t give a f-ck about platonic relationships, we want them to cheat,” while others countered with, “Let men and women just be friends please for the love of God” (which was also in all caps. Others came in right in the middle or defended those who sought the potential conflict the coupling would bring: “Like, damn, they just wanna be entertained by conflict in a plot of a TV show.”

As a dedicated gamer diving into this virtual world, let me share some insights about the creators’ decision regarding two beloved characters in our favorite series. Erin Foster, the mastermind behind the show, didn’t directly engage with the ongoing fan discussions about Morgan and Sasha. Instead, she hinted at a resolution to their developing feelings early on in season 2, emphasizing that it was necessary to preserve the show’s authenticity. It appears this decision wasn’t prompted by the current conversation buzz, but rather the organic progression of the storyline itself.

Here’s what Foster told The Hollywood Reporter about the characters’ direction in season 2:

I think we’re going to wrap up their weird ‘Is it romantic?’ thing. Because we want to see them together in season two, hanging out. We want to see Esther. I think we went down that road enough that now we’re going to pull back and reposition so we can have them all in scenes together without [Morgan] being like, a full homewrecker. But we’re going to give Morgan something very fun. Justine came in and we pitched it to her and she was like, ‘This is my dream storyline.’ It’s so fun.

Although it appears that Foster has ruled out a romantic entanglement between Morgan and Sasha for season 2, it doesn’t necessarily mean their relationship won’t deepen. They can maintain the same chemistry while keeping things platonic, avoiding a plotline involving adultery that could negatively affect Joanne and Noah. After all, how would a cheating scandal among siblings serve the story, given that the series revolves around them in the first place?

Despite the fact that Foster intends to eliminate the secondary “will they or won’t they” relationship in the show, we don’t have to worry that Nobody Wants This will struggle in season 2. There are numerous intriguing and amusing antics that Morgan and Sasha can engage in together and individually. Furthermore, Foster hinted that Lupe was thrilled with Morgan’s season 2 storyline idea, which bodes well for the show’s future. Needless to say, we share their excitement as well!
