Adam Brody and Kristen Bell lead the misleadingly titled film Nobody wants thatwhich, after debuting in fall 2024, is topping Netflix’s TV charts. He also proved to be an awards favorite, earning three Golden Globe nominations and three Emmy nominations.

The series follows a progressive rabbi (Brody) and a sex-agnostic podcaster (Bell) whose unexpected romance ends their lives. The romantic comedy was partly inspired by creator Erin Foster’s own conversion to Judaism after joining forces with her husband, music director Simon Tikhman.

“‘Write what you know’ is a trope in writing, but it’s true: When you’ve had an experience, you can draw specifics from it,” Foster previously said. Weekly Entertainment. “When I went through the conversion process, I felt like it would be a fascinating impetus for a really good show.”

Audiences are asking for more after binge-watching season 1, but will there be a season 2 of Nobody wants that? What will it be about? Here’s everything we know about Nobody wants that season 2.

Will there be a season 2 of Nobody wants that?

Yes, Netflix announced a season 2 of Nobody wants that shortly after its premiere in September 2024.

Foster always intended for the series to follow Brody’s Noah and Bell’s Joanne over multiple seasons. “I definitely want another season of the show,” Foster told EW before Season 1 debuted. “And I definitely wrote it with a second or third season in mind, because I had plans for Joanne.”

How Nobody wants that end of season 1?

Throughout season 1, Nobody wants that explored the many obstacles, from past specters to family disputes to career anxieties, that confront Noah and Joanne’s budding romance.

This culminated in Joanne deciding that, despite her feelings for him, she was not ready to convert to Judaism. This complicates things for Noah, who is then forced to choose between this relationship and a position as chief rabbi at Temple Chai. He chooses Joanne, which will undoubtedly lead to concerns about his faith and interfaith relationships.

What is Nobody wants that about season 2?

According to the official logline, Nobody wants that season 2 finds Noah and Joanne “fully committed to merging their lives – and those of their loved ones – together”, but notes that “their differences still exist and cannot be ignored”. So the challenge is not just falling in love against all odds, but staying together despite them.

But don’t expect the couple to fall apart instantly. It’s a romantic comedy, after all. “The genre shouldn’t be designed to frustrate you,” Foster told EW in our Season 2 preview. “I think it can be eye-opening and not only be an unrealistic romance, but also not rob the audience of what’s happening to him.”

Foster, however, remains committed to exploring what happens after the kind of grand romantic gesture that ended Season 1. “The moment doesn’t end there. If you make a big decision, you have to deal with the consequences, so what does that look like?”

The season will also spend more time with the supporting cast, especially as their friend groups begin to merge. Joanne’s sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), in particular, will have a “big season.” Not only does she find her own romantic connection in a character played by her former Succession with Arian Moayed, but she also finds new textures in her relationship with Joanne.

“I really see this season as a love story between sisters, and I think it’s so beautiful,” Bell told EW.

Girls alums Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan will take over as season 2 showrunners, replacing Foster, who will remain executive producer and writer.

“I didn’t want to change the show at all. I loved it,” Konner told EW. “The way I approach everything I work on, if I haven’t written it, is I need an incredibly clear, strong, unique voice and that’s Erin in a nutshell, so that immediately appealed to me. I was like, ‘It’s the same thing again!’
