Netflix has officially announced that Season 2 of its hit romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This will premiere globally on October 23, 2025. The announcement came during an Emmys FYC event celebrating the show’s first season.
Inspired by the real-life story of creator Erin Foster, Season 1 followed an unlikely romance between Joanne (Kristen Bell), an outspoken agnostic podcaster, and Noah (Adam Brody), an unconventional rabbi. The season concluded with uncertainty as Joanne admitted she wasn’t ready to convert to Judaism, leaving their future unresolved.
The original cast will return for the second season, joined by new additions including Leighton Meester as Abby, an Instagram mommy influencer and Joanne’s childhood rival. Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky, and Arian Moayed are also set to appear in new roles.
Netflix renewed the show shortly after its September 2024 debut. Foster described the response to the series as a “career highlight” in an interview with Variety, crediting the cast, crew, and producers for helping bring her vision to life.
Since its launch, Nobody Wants This has developed a strong fan base, largely due to the chemistry between its lead characters. Erin Foster returns as executive producer alongside her sister Sara Foster. Newcomer Nora Silver joins the team this season, with Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan serving as showrunners.
