Indeed, everybody wants this.
On Tuesday, it was revealed that Netflix renewed Nobody Wants This for a third season just two weeks after season two was released on the streamer. The announcement dropped on social media, with a video of its female lead, Kristen Bell, telling castmembers on individual FaceTime calls that they were coming back for another round.
The rom-com, which is loosely based on the show’s creator Erin Foster’s life, stars Adam Brody as a rabbi who falls in love with Kristen Bell’s Joanne, who is agnostic. The couple’s journey in the first season saw them deal with the lingering question of: How will this work? In season two, viewers watched Joanne and Noah months into their relationship, figuring out how to make it work after they committed to each other.
The season two finale ended with Noah’s sister-in-law, Esther (played by Jackie Tohn), giving a pivotal speech to Joanne about how she feels like she is Jewish, whether she is with Noah or not. And from that conversation, it looked like Joanne was finally set on converting as she and Noah got back together at the very end, mirroring the season one finale.
“I love that Esther comes around and is the person pointing this out to Joanne. It’s so powerful for me to be able to say these things on television,” Tohn told The Hollywood Reporter in a postmortem interview. “It’s so meta for me and it really meant a lot to me.”
Also, in season two, notable guest stars included Leighton Meester (Adam Brody’s real-life wife) and Emmy winner Seth Rogen, who also played a rabbi.
No date for season three has been set yet.
