Exciting News for Fans: Season 2 is Coming!

Netflix has officially renewed the hit romantic comedy series ‘Nobody Wants This’ for a second season, proving that the streaming giant absolutely wants more of this unique show, contrary to its title! This delightful revelation comes from Netflix's Chief Content Officer, Bela Bajaria, and is set to make waves in the media today.

Originally created and executive produced by Erin Foster, ‘Nobody Wants This’ will see a shift in leadership for the upcoming season. Girls alums Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan have signed on as the new executive producers and showrunners, partnering with Nora Silver, President at Jenni Konner Productions. Foster, however, remains the creative force behind the series, ensuring it stays true to her original vision.

With a stellar start since its September 26 launch, the series quickly became one of Netflix's strongest comedy debuts, landing at No. 2 in its first weekend, and eventually climbing to No. 1, racking up an impressive 26.2 million views within just 11 days. The show not only captivated audiences but also sparked significant conversations online.

Reflecting on her work, Erin Foster said, “Creating Nobody Wants This will forever be a career highlight for me. I’m extremely privileged to work with such a talented cast and crew, and I am over the moon to continue this story with the brilliant Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan.”

The inspiration for the series draws heavily from Foster’s personal experiences, exploring the complexities of modern relationships. The story follows an agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi, Joanne (played by Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody), who stumble into romance amidst their differing outlooks on life and the inevitable hurdles love brings, including their quirky families.

The arrival of Konner and Kaplan marks an exciting reunion for the duo, who have previously collaborated on the groundbreaking series ‘Girls.’ Konner expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “It’s a dream to be working on Nobody Wants This. Erin is an extraordinary creator with a clear voice, and I feel privileged to be in such creative company again.”

Adding to the anticipation, Kaplan shared his excitement about joining the project, calling it “a unique and beautiful show” that he is thrilled to be working on.

The cast for Season 1 includes notable talents such as Stephanie Faracy, Tovah Feldshuh, and Sherry Cola, among others. Production is handled by 20th Television in association with Steven Levitan Productions, ensuring a high-quality viewing experience.

As the countdown for Season 2 begins, fans can expect more laughter, heartwarming moments, and real conversations about love in today’s world! Get ready—more romance, comedy, and unexpected twists are on the way!
