Season Two of ‘Nobody Wants This’ Returns with Compelling Rom-Com Dynamics
LOS ANGELES, CA – The popular romantic comedy series, “Nobody Wants This,” is back for its second season on Netflix as of October 23, 2025. Starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, the show continues to explore the tumultuous relationship between its main characters, Joanne and Rabbi Noah, as they navigate the complexities of love and faith.
In the first season, viewers watched as Joanne, a sex podcaster, struggled with her relationship with Noah, a rabbi, leading to an unexpected breakup. They ended the first season on a cliffhanger, leaving fans wondering about their romantic future. The new season picks up with the couple seemingly back together, but the underlying tensions about faith and commitment persist. Noah’s disapproving mother’s comments about Joanne being a ‘shiksa’ offer comedic relief while highlighting cultural differences.
Throughout the season, the characters face relatable challenges, such as hosting a dinner party and dealing with job pressures. Notably, Noah is overlooked for the head rabbi position but quickly finds a role at a more progressive temple, illustrating that their love can thrive despite professional setbacks.
The season also features humorous moments and sharp dialogue, especially between Noah and Joanne, whose chemistry remains electric. Supporting characters like Morgan, played by Justine Lupe, bring additional comedic layers, with her developing relationship with therapist Dr. Andy proving both troubling and entertaining.
Creator Erin Foster draws from her own experience of converting to Judaism, adding an authentic layer to the ongoing theme of faith. Joanne grapples with her feelings about Judaism, questioning if conversion should be based merely on love. This storyline resonates with the audience, adding depth to the humor and romance.
Critics have noted the show’s ability to balance comedic elements with serious themes. While some suggest that season two struggles to find fresh plotlines, the series retains its appeal through engaging character dynamics and clever writing. The interplay of faith, love, and family continues to captivate viewers, inviting them to ask whether these differing backgrounds can coexist harmoniously.
With audiences enjoying the witty banter, irresistible chemistry, and relatable storylines, the season promises to be as easy to love as its predecessor, creating a delightful viewing experience for fans.
