Kristen Bell, Adam Brody and the rest of the gang are coming back for a brand new season of Nobody Wants This!
On Sunday, June 1, the cast of the hit Netflix series announced that season 2 will premiere on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025.
The news was shared by Bell, Brody, Justin Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn, as well as series creator Erin Foster and executive producer Sara Foster live on stage at Netflix’s FYSEE LA Emmy Event celebrating season 1.
In a video confirming the big news, Bell, Brody, Lupe, Simons and Tohn gather together as they ask a magic eight ball questions regarding the “scoop” on the second season.
The questions kick off with a fun one as Bell asks, “Will the matzah ballers make the playoffs?” In response, the eight ball says, “Try again, loser.”
Other questions include whether there will be “another iconic kiss this season,” if Morgan will “find love this season” and whether Esther will “forgive Sasha and Morgan for their friendship.”
But the final question is perhaps the most exciting as Bell asks what’s coming on Oct. 23. When the eight ball says, “Ask a rabbi,” Brody proudly steps in.
“And the rabbi says: season 2! Your favorite show and mine, Nobody Wants This,” he says.
The first season of Nobody Wants This became an instant hit, with Netflix announcing its decision to renew the series for a second installment in October 2024. The last episode left fans sitting on the edge of their seats. Viewers and crew alike were thrilled to learn that Noah (Brody) and Joanne’s (Bell) love story wouldn’t leave off on a cliffhanger.
“The incredible cast, crew, producers and executives all made this into the show it is today, and to experience viewers’ reactions to this series now that it’s out in the world has been more than anything I could have dreamed,” said Erin Foster in a statement at the time. “I’m so lucky to be able to continue this story … Justice for healthy relationships being the most romantic!”
Nobody Wants This is inspired by Erin’s real-life love story with her husband, Simon Tikham. The series follows Noah, a newly single rabbi, and Joanne, an agnostic dating podcaster, as they attempt to make their relationship work despite major cultural differences.
In addition to Brody and Bell, most of the show’s primary cast is set to return. Lupe and Simons will reprise their roles as the leads’ siblings Morgan and Sasha, respectively. Other returning cast members include Tohn as Esther and Sherry Cola as Ashley.
Brody’s real-life wife, Leighton Meester, is also a guest star in the second season of Nobody Wants This. She will play Abby, Joanne’s middle school nemesis, who’s become an “Instagram mommy influencer,” per Variety.
Bottoms star Miles Fowler will play Lenny, Noah’s Matzah Ballers teammate, who is set up with Joanne’s sister, Morgan.
