The highly anticipated second season of the romantic-comedy show ‘Nobody Wants This’ is officially in the works, with more drama, emotional moments, and new faces. Written by Erin Foster and featuring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, the show’s revival will follow the developing relationship between Joanne and Noah further, with fresh obstacles and old faces ready to upset their lives.
Season 2 release date and announcement
Fans won’t have to wait much longer for the sequel. Netflix has officially announced that Nobody Wants This Season 2 will be released on October 23, 2025. The news was announced by the show’s lead cast at the FYSEE LA Emmy Event to make the date official for avid viewers.
What happened at the end of season 1?
Season 1 ended on a huge cliffhanger. Joanne broke up with Noah, realizing how much his faith means to him and his people. She refused to convert to Judaism, something that had a ripple effect throughout Noah’s life. But Noah—played by Adam Brody—ran after Joanne and professed that he prefers her over his faith. This is the turning point in Season 2 that sets the tone for strong changes.
What to expect in season 2?
With Noah’s decision to choose Joanne over his religion, there are significant changes on the way. If he remains with Joanne, he would probably have to resign from being head rabbi at his temple. Although he can continue adhering to his religion, his spiritual journey is bound to alter, impacting his career and personal life. Noah’s disapproving mother, never a fan of Joanne, will be angry at his choice. His father and older brother, Sasha, however, might silently approve of him. Other women, such as Esther, Bina, and Noah’s former girlfriend Rebecca, are likely to cause trouble, perhaps attempting to break up Noah and Joanne.Noah’s path for Season 2 will be a journey of self-discovery. Always faithful to his religion and function in the temple, the loss of that foundation might leave him grasping at finding a new sense of purpose. As the series pushes forward, money might not be a concern for Noah, but questions regarding his identity and path in life will undoubtedly ensue.Joanne, on the other hand, will have her own rollercoaster ride. Though she might be pleased initially with Noah’s choice, she might start thinking if she over influenced him. With time, she might worry that he sacrificed too much for their relationship. Season 2 will test their relationship to the limits, questioning whether they can handle the forces of change and external influences.
