A new filming update Nobody Wants This on season 2 reveals details about the hit romantic comedy. Created by Erin Foster, and based on her experience of falling for her husband, the story centers on the agnostic podcaster Joanne (Bell, also an executive producer) and the rabbi Noah (Adam Brody) as they fall into a complicated and unlikely relationship. The 10-episode series quickly became a hit when it debuted on Netflix in late September, garnering largely positive reviews and topping the streaming charts, which paved the way for a fast Nobody Wants This season 2 renewal.
According to What’s On Netflix, which reports on the streamer’s originals and overall library, season 2 of the breakout comedy will begin filming in late January 2025 and will reportedly conclude around late April 2025. This has not been announced by Netflix as of yet, though the first installment followed a similar schedule.
What The Latest Update Means For Nobody Wants This Season 2
It’s Speeding Along
Nobody Wants This season 2 was confirmed mere weeks after its premiere, having already racked up billions of minutes viewed according to Nielsen’s streaming charts. The race to production means that Netflix is fast-tracking a second installment after the comedy became a breakout hit, and it may mean viewers will start to hear about casting details and story information a few months into 2025. It also means new episodes could debut late next year.
Nobody Wants This season 1 has a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes , with only three negative reviews.
The new season will come with a notable change behind the camera. Even though Foster is still involved with the series, she is no longer the showrunner. Along with the renewal announcement, Netflix said that Emmy-winning writers Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan have taken over the role from Foster. The change comes after a report detailed problems during the filming of Nobody Wants This season 1.
The Verdict On Nobody Wants This Season 2
The Show’s Return Builds On A Strong Foundation
Nobody Wants This season 1 ends with a path that allows for Noah and Joanne’s story to continue. With some episodes being barely over 20 minutes long, the romantic comedy largely avoids the streaming problem of too much padding. It also has an episodic quality, with each installment carving out a specific setting or focus rather than just playing as one long movie.
But the show also does a smart thing. While the main draw is seeing teen drama icon Bell and Brody in a classic rom-com, and perhaps seeing Brody in a full-fledged charming lead role after he’s largely favored darker projects and cameo appearances, there is a lot of depth to the Nobody Wants This supporting cast that includes Succession‘s Justine Lupe, Veep‘s Timothy Simons, and GLOW star Jackie Tohn, among several others. It adds intrigue to who might join the second outing once cameras start rolling.
