The romantic comedy that won over millions of viewers returns with more heart, humor, and complications. Netflix has released the first trailer for the second season of 'Nobody Wants This,' the series created by Erin Foster—inspired by her own life—that tells a love story as unlikely as it is endearing between an agnostic podcaster and a charismatic rabbi.

Starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, the first season, released in 2024, became a global phenomenon, accumulating 57 million views in its first few weeks and positioning itself in the top 10 in 89 countries.

Its success not only revitalized the romance genre on the small screen, but also generated massive expectations for the continuation of Joanne and Noah's story.

What awaits us in season 2?

The first season ended with an open ending that left fans with their hearts in their hands: Noah running after a bus to kiss Joanne after an ultimatum.

Now, Netflix's official synopsis reveals that "the challenge is no longer just falling in love against all odds, but staying together despite everything." The 10 episodes of the new season will explore the challenges of a relationship that has already crossed the line from falling in love to facing everyday reality. Religious and cultural differences, meddling families, and new tensions will test the couple's commitment. According to Adam Brody in an interview with Tudum, the series will delve into "where their relationship goes now that they're engaged," maintaining its lighthearted tone but adding deeper emotional layers. In addition, secondary subplots will take center stage. The friendship between Sasha (Timothy Simons) and Morgan (Justine Lupe) will evolve, opening the door to possible unexpected romances.

Erin Foster assured that the semi-autobiographical essence of the series will remain intact, guaranteeing authenticity and closeness in each episode.

Star cast and new additions

The original core returns in full: Kristen Bell as Joanne, the daring host of a sex podcast, and Adam Brody as Noah,the recently separated rabbi who falls in love against all odds.

They are joined by Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, Jackie Tohn, Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitchcock, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Emily Arlook, Sherry Cola and Shiloh Berman.

But season 2 brings new faces that promise to raise the bar of comedy and drama. Among the most notable signings are:

In addition, the participation of Seth Rogen and Kate Berlant (Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood) was confirmed in roles yet to be revealed, which further increases the anticipation.

Release date

The second season of 'Nobody wants this' will arrive on Netflix on October 23, 2025, just a year after the premiere of the first season. As is customary on the platform, all 10 episodes will be available simultaneously, ready for a marathon full of laughter, tears, and moments that will make more than one sigh.
