I adored Netflix’s comedy Nobody Wants This, a huge crowd-pleaser starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody as Hot Rabbi. I didn’t think there was any way the premise could be stretched into a full television season, but I was proven wrong—and now I can’t wait for a second season.

That second season will come with new showrunners, Jenni Konner (Girls) and Bruce Eric Kaplan (Six Feet Under), which was quietly announced along with news that Netflix would be renewing the show for another season. I didn’t think much of this change at the time because the vibes around the show were so positive. However, it turns out there’s a reason for the new showrunners. Part of it stems from Netflix’s lack of confidence in the show’s creator, Erin Foster, who based the premise on her relationship with her now-husband, who is Jewish, and her own conversion process.

As Matthew Belloni reports on Puck, many networks passed on Erin Foster’s pitch, but Netflix loved the pilot script. However, Foster had limited showrunning experience, and subsequent scripts were not only delayed but also less compelling. Netflix brought in additional help, namely Steven Levitan (Modern Family) and Jack Burditt (30 Rock), to assist Foster in running the show.

Foster reportedly didn’t appreciate being managed by two men and clashed particularly with Levitan, which isn’t entirely surprising. Levitan and his Modern Family co-creator, Christopher Lloyd, disliked each other so much that Modern Family had to have two writers’ rooms, one for each of them. Complicating matters further, Netflix halted production to revise scripts, and during this period, “Foster allegedly went to Jackson Hole with friends, leaving Burditt, the writers, and the rest of the team—seven non-writing executive producers in total—to handle revisions. (One source says she Zoomed in several times.)”

Belloni also writes that Kristen Bell had issues with Foster, and there were also apparently health challenges for a key creative, adding to the general chaos.

But, as Belloni noted—and as is obvious—it all worked out in the end, and Netflix launched a hugely successful comedy series, a rarity in the streaming world. Nonetheless, Levitan and Burditt have exited the series, leaving Erin Foster to work on the next season with two new veteran showrunners.
