Netflix has officially confirmed that Nobody Wants This Season 2 is on its way, and yep, it’s dropping October 23, 2025. Erin Foster’s sharp, funny, and surprisingly tender rom-com is back with more messy romance, belief clashes, and family drama, all wrapped in quick wit and awkward silences.
After becoming a surprise hit last year, the series is doubling down with new characters, unresolved tensions, and a creative team that knows how to walk the fine line between heartfelt and hilarious.
Returning and New Faces: Nobody Wants This Season 2 Cast
The Nobody Wants This season 2 cast is loaded with familiar faces we fell for in Season 1. Kristen Bell returns as Joanne, the agnostic podcast host with commitment issues and a deep fear of labels. Adam Brody is back as Noah, the kind-hearted rabbi who somehow balances tradition with modern chaos.
You’ll also see:
-
Justine Lupe as Morgan, Joanne’s sarcastic sister
-
Timothy Simons as Sasha, her brother who’s still figuring life out
-
Emily Arlook, Jackie Tohn, Sherry Cola, Shiloh Berman, Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitchcock, Tovah Feldshuh, and Paul Ben-Victor — all of whom add layers to this not-so-average rom-com ensemble
New in Nobody Wants This Season 2:
-
Leighton Meester plays Abby, Joanne’s old-school nemesis who’s now a perfectly curated Instagram mom (you know the type)
-
Miles Fowler as Lenny, Noah’s basketball buddy and a new wildcard in Morgan’s dating life
-
Alex Karpovsky steps in as Big Noah, a rival rabbi who’s more ego than Torah
-
Arian Moayed shows up as Dr. Andy, a therapist who might just complicate Morgan’s already weird love life
With so many characters bouncing off each other, expect more snark, more softness, and way more tension at family dinners.
What’s Happening in Nobody Wants This Season 2
Joanne and Noah are still figuring each other out. Is their connection enough to bridge their wildly different worldviews? Will Joanne ever consider converting to Judaism, or is that a line too far for her sense of self?
Meanwhile, things get spicy for Morgan as two very different men, Lenny and Dr. Andy, start circling. Over at Noah’s temple, Big Noah brings fresh competition (and maybe some chaos), while the larger family web only gets messier.
There’s no neat, romantic bow here, just real people trying to make sense of love, culture, identity, and what it means to belong. And honestly? That’s what makes it so watchable.
Nobody Wants This Season 2 Big Win, And What’s Next
If you missed Season 1, here’s the deal: Nobody Wants This was a breakout success. It held a spot on Netflix’s Global English Top 10 for six weeks, hit the Top 10 in 89 countries, and was viewed over 57 million times by the end of 2024. That’s not nothing.
It earned critical praise too, with fans loving its bold but grounded take on love and belief in the 21st century. It’s kind of like if When Harry Met Sally met Curb Your Enthusiasm, with a little therapy speak sprinkled in.
For Nobody Wants This Season 2, the creative reins have shifted slightly. Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, both of Girls fame, are stepping in as executive producers and showrunners. They’re joining forces with returning producers like Nora Silver, Erin Foster, and Kristen Bell herself. So, the vision is in good hands for Nobody Wants This Season 2.
Final Thought
Whether you tuned in for the rom-com vibes or the cultural clash comedy, Nobody Wants This Season 2 promises to keep delivering that awkward, smart, emotionally clumsy magic. Mark your calendar for October 23, and maybe brace for more cringe-worthy confessions and heartwarming growth.
