Everyone agrees that Nobody Wants This has become a favorite romantic comedy. Fans are eager to see more of Noah and Joanne’s love story, but no official word has been given about a second season. However, TV Insider spoke with the show’s creator, Erin Foster, about possible plans for Season 2 and beyond.
Nobody Wants This debuted on Netflix on September 26, 2024, with ten heartfelt episodes starring Adam Brody and Kristen Bell in the lead roles. Their on-screen chemistry is undeniable, making the show an irresistible watch. Inspired by her own love story, Foster never intended to create a nostalgic rom-com, but she did it without even realizing it.
When asked about her thoughts on Season 2, Foster said: “The only thing I really think about is that Season 1 moves really slowly, and I think that’s the really positive thing. I would want to continue that and kind of pick it up around the area where we left off, and keep it kind of moving slow and not jump ahead too fast if we got a Season 2.”
Foster also touched on the idea of more seasons, saying, “I’m definitely taking it as it goes. You never know what could happen or when the right time to stop is. But I mean, I’m here for as many as they want to give me.” Nobody Wants This has been praised for being a refreshing escape in the rom-com genre, taking fans back to the days when romantic comedies were pure entertainment.
In addition to Brody and Bell, the cast includes Justine Lupe as Joanne’s younger sister, Morgan, and Timothy Simons as Noah’s older brother, Sasha. Supporting characters include Joanne’s mother, Lynn (Stephanie Faracy), Noah’s mother, Bina (Tovah Feldshuh), and Sasha’s wife, Esther (Jackie Tohn), among others. Fans can now stream all episodes of Nobody Wants This on Netflix.
