Netflix’s Emmy-nominated Kristen Bell and Adam Brody starrer returns for Season 2 on October 23 at 12 am PT.
Nobody Wants This returned unexpected warmth to the romantic comedy genre when it debuted on Netflix in late 2024.
Created by Erin Foster and starring Kristen Bell as Joanne and Adam Brody as Noah, the show quickly earned acclaim for blending humour with honesty and emotional insight.
Season 1 follows Joanne, a feminist podcaster unafraid to share her intimate experiences, and Noah, a devoted rabbi reeling from a recent breakup.
Their meeting at a party sparks an unlikely romance complicated by religion, expectations, and self-doubt. Despite obvious incompatibilities, their connection deepens, revealing how opposites can challenge and complete each other.
Supporting characters such as Morgan, Joanne’s sister and podcast co-host, and Sasha, Noah’s brother, add emotional complexity and humour. As Joanne’s professional success clashes with her personal happiness, Noah’s ambitions to become head rabbi force him to choose between tradition and love.
The season’s final episodes test their relationship further. A disastrous dinner with Noah’s parents, a tense reunion with his ex Rebecca, and a heartfelt bat mitzvah confrontation push Joanne to re-evaluate her choices.
In the closing moments, she ends things to protect Noah’s future, yet their parting kiss leaves the story unresolved.
Nobody Wants This earned three Emmy nominations, including Best Comedy, before being swiftly renewed.
Season 2 premieres on Netflix on October 23, 2025, at 12 am PT.
