Are you excited? Because we finally have some news on Nobody Wants This Season 2.
While the 2025 Netflix schedule has been filled to the brim with great shows, everyone is still waiting for updates about the highly anticipated second season of Nobody Wants This, starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody.
The series, which tells the story of an agnostic sex podcaster and a rabbi falling in love, quickly rose to the top of the Netflix charts, becoming a show that everyone binged. And now, we finally have some kind of update on when we can see this show on our television screens again. Here is what we know so far.
(Spoilers from Season 1 of Nobody Wants This ahead!)
What Is The Nobody Wants This Season 2 Premiere Date?
At the time of updating this in June 2025, Nobody Wants This Season 2 is confirmed to premiere on October 22, 2025, according to Netflix Tudum. Honestly, this is great news, as it feels like there are so many shows coming to an end in 2025, like the final season of Stranger Things, the final season of Squid Game and more. To have this cute little rom-com come out is exactly what we need.
The Nobody Wants This Season 2 Cast
Thanks to Tudum, we now have a confirmed list of who is going to return in Season 2 of Nobody Wants This. This includes:
- Kristen Bell as Joanne
- Adam Brody as Noah
- Justine Lupe as Morgan
- Timothy Simons as Sasha
- Jackie Tohn as Esther
- Michael Hitchcock as Henry
- Stephanie Faracy as Lynne
- Paul Ben-Victor as Ilan
- Tovah Feldshuh as Bina
- Sherry Cola as Ashley
- D’Arcy Carden as Ryann
Honestly, this cast is so incredibly talented, from people who starred in the Succession cast to comedians and so much more. Having all of them back for Season 2 is exactly what we need.
New Cast Members For Season 2
While we have confirmation that several cast members are returning for Season 2 of Nobody Wants This, we also have a few new cast members to look out for thanks to Tudum. Here is who you can expect to see:
- Leighton Meester as Abby, Joanne’s nemesis from middle school.
- Miles Fowler as Lenny, Noah’s Matzah Ballers teammate.
- Alex Karpovsky as Big Noah, a confident rabbit at Noah’s temple.
- Arian Moayed as Dr. Andy, a psychotherapist.
This is such a fun cast. Meester has even opened up about playing Bell’s nemesis and it sounds like such a fun time all around.
How Nobody Wants This Season 1 Ended
There hasn’t been much that has come out about what Season 2 will be about, but based on quotes and interviews from the creators, there are hints of how the show will go after the Nobody Wants This Season 1 ending, so let’s get into it.
Noah Picks Joanne, But That Doesn’t Mean It’s Smooth Sailing
So, the biggest part of Nobody Wants This was clearly the relationship between Noah and Joanne, a relationship that was honestly one we could see in any of the best rom-coms. While Joanne is honest with Noah at the end, saying that there are so many beautiful things about Judaism, she doesn’t know if she’s ready to convert, and she doesn’t want to put that unfairness on him that if she messes up, it would make his whole world collapse.
But Noah comes to her at the very end and openly admits that he can’t choose both – but he chooses her, which makes that ending a little more heartwarming than the heartbreak we were bound to experience. However, we know that relationships take work, and Season 2 will most likely look into that.
In fact, Brody (Noah) is quoted in that Tudum article talking about how Season 2 will explore their relationship and how much each is willing to sacrifice to be with the other as that tension is still there:
I think that’s what the show can explore. What should he do? What should she do? What version of sacrifice is worth it? What constitutes growth, or what constitutes dimming yourself to be with someone else? It’s a sacrifice, but ideally, you grow together and you’re better for it — you don’t have to [lop] off a limb.
Esther Knows That Sasha And Morgan Are Talking – But Season 2 Will Most Likely Answer Questions About Their Potential Romantic Relationship
Something else that was a big part of Season 1 of Nobody Wants This is Sasha, Noah’s brother, and Morgan, Joanne’s sister, talking—and their bantering seems kind of romantic, but nothing is confirmed. However, Sasha is married to Esther, and she knows that these two are talking now.
There are still so many questions up in the air with all three of these characters. Still, the creator of the show, Erin Foster, opened up in an October 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter and said that Season 2 is definitely going to address the possibility of romance between Sasha and Morgan:
I think we’re going to wrap up their weird “Is it romantic?” thing. Because we want to see them together in season two, hanging out. We want to see Esther. I think we went down that road enough that now we’re going to pull back and reposition so we can have them all in scenes together without [Morgan] being like, a full homewrecker. But we’re going to give Morgan something very fun.
We also know from that interview that Esther is going to be a more significant part of Season 2 – so much so that Foster confirmed Jackie Tohn will be a regular:
Esther, for sure, is going to be a regular in season two. We love Jackie, she is such a fun actress. And she really gave Esther some fun, nuanced stuff.
Rebecca And Joanne Have A Talk, And We Get To See Just How Important Being A Rabbi’s Wife Is
Rebecca was once close to marrying Noah before he broke it off. Throughout the season, we see her interactions with Joanne and the whole cast after Noah calls off their relationship, and she often bumps heads. But towards the end, she and Joanne really talk about how important being a Rabbi’s wife is, which is really what spurs Joanne into making her decision.
It’s also an opportunity to see a little more of Rebecca besides this woman who just wanted to get married, getting deeper into who she is as a person. In that interview with THR, Foster also said that Season 2 will explore more of Rebecca since we only just broke the surface of who she is:
You do learn so much more about her in the finale. You understand her struggle more and empathize with who she is. So we’re going to continue doing that. We’re not going to write for a reaction to criticism.
So far, I’m just here for whatever they do in Season 2, and I’m ready for it.
Jenni Konner And Bruce Eric Kaplan Are Joining As Showrunners
The showrunner situation got shaken up a bit. As revealed by Tudum, Foster will have two additional showrunners, Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, as well as a new executive producer, Nora Silver.
In the interview with THR, Foster talked about the main reason being that Season 1 was rushed because of scripts due to the writer’s strike and that for Season 2, she wanted a different process for creating the story:
We had the writers strike in the middle of our writers room. It became super chaotic. We lost writers in the process. It wasn’t unprecedented, because it’s happened before, but it was a challenging thing to throw into the middle of everything. For season two, we just needed a new process, and we needed to figure out what that looked like. I really needed to focus on being the voice of the show and the writing.
Filming Has Finished
The last thing we know is that filming for Nobody Wants This Season 2 is over. It was confirmed on Jackie Tohn (Esther’s) Instagram, where she celebrated the end of filming in May 2025:
Now this just makes me even more excited.
Can we count down the days until Nobody Wants This Season 2 comes out? We’re just a few months away – I can’t wait for the romance to continue.
