Every so often a show comes along that swiftly sweeps us off our feet. Our most recent love affair? Netflix’ romantic comedy, Nobody Wants This. A nostalgic, TV dream, the romcom sees Kristen Bell and Adam Brody become an unlikely yet utterly lovable pair in a Veronica Mars X The OC crossover we never knew we needed.
In Nobody Want This, cynical and perennially single sex podcaster, Joanne, finds herself unexpectedly falling for unconventional rabbi, Noah. The chemistry is as instant as it is palpable, but Joanne and Noah (and us) are the only people who seem to think so. Family, friends and faith (or in the case of Joanne, lack thereof) all stand in the way of something great. As the name suggests, nobody but our two protagonists want this couple to last.
The hit rom-com is officially returning for a second season and we have all the details on when to watch it.

Countdown To Nobody Wants This Season Two
Season 2 Of Nobody Wants This Cast
Season 2 will introduce some exciting new cast members, including Brody’s real-life wife, Leighton Meester. She’ll guest star as Abby, Joanne’s middle school nemesis turned Instagram mommy influencer - a role that promises plenty of drama and laughs. Additionally, Miles Fowler, known for Bottoms, will join the cast as Lenny, Noah’s Matzah Ballers teammate who’s set up with Joanne’s sister Morgan.
The show's leads, Brody and Bell are also, naturally, returning, because what would the show be without our favourite mis-matched couple? Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons and Jackie Tohn are all also expected to return.
What Will Happen In Season Two Of Nobody Wants This?
The final episode of Nobody Wants This also left us with a lot more questions than answers.
Sure, Noah and Joanne chose each other above all else, with the hot Rabbi chasing her down to declare his love. But, what will he do about his potential promotion to Head Rabbi? Will Joanne convert to Judaism? Who knows.
Then, there’s the building tension between Joanne’s sister, Morgan, and Noah’s brother, Sasha. Their secret friendship was finally uncovered by Sasha’s wife Esther during the final ep, which can only spell trouble in a potential second season. Stay tuned.
Is Nobody Wants This Based On Erin Fosters' Life?
Erin Foster is the brilliant and hilarious mind behindNobody Wants This, which is, in fact, based on her own love story and life. Once as cynical as her main character Joanne, Erin revealed she found the comedic value in failing at love.
“I was always a very cynical writer because I was a very cynical person,” she tells Tudum, “and that’s where all my comedy came from and where my comedic perspective came from — failing at dating and failing at relationships and things blowing up and finding the humor in it.”
That was until, she met her now husband.
“This show is based on the only good decision I ever made: falling for a nice Jewish boy,” Foster says. “But I realized that being happy is way harder than being miserable — there’s nothing to complain about. So, I created this show based on all the ways that finding the right person can be so hard.”
