💘Nobody Wants This Season 2 (2025) – Cast, Plot, Release Date, Review & Where to Watch | Love, Faith, and Awkward Family Dinners

Love isn’t easy. Faith isn’t simple. And comedy? Well, that’s just the glue holding it all together in Netflix’s award-nominated rom-com hit, Nobody Wants This. After a breakout debut season that left fans swooning and laughing in equal measure, the Kristen Bell and Adam Brody-led series is finally back.

Season 2 of Nobody Wants This premieres October 23, 2025, only on Netflix — and this time, Joanne and Noah’s whirlwind romance is about to face its first real storm.

“Everything else will work itself out, but I’m saying that you are my priority.” – Noah, Season 1 finale

🌟 What Is Nobody Wants This About?

Created by Erin Foster and executive produced by her sister Sara Foster, the series flips the classic rom-com script. It follows Joanne (Kristen Bell), an outspoken agnostic podcaster, and Noah (Adam Brody), a kindhearted rabbi who doesn’t quite fit the mold. Their mismatched romance in Season 1 charmed audiences and critics alike, earning Emmy nods, Critics' Choice Awards recognition, and even a win for Brody.

Now, in Season 2, Joanne and Noah must navigate more than just cultural clashes. Holidays, birthdays, meddling families, and career struggles all collide with one looming question: can their love survive the everyday chaos of real life?

🎭 Returning Cast & New Faces

Of course, the beloved ensemble returns:

• Kristen Bell as Joanne

• Adam Brody as Noah Roklov

• Justine Lupe as Morgan

• Timothy Simons as Sasha

• Jackie Tohn as Esther

• Tovah Feldshuh as Bina

• Paul Ben-Victor as Ilan

But Season 2 is also welcoming some big new names:

• Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) as Abby, Joanne’s middle school nemesis turned Instagram mommy influencer (and Brody’s real-life wife).

• Miles Fowler (Bottoms) as Lenny, Noah’s basketball buddy and Morgan’s new date.

• Alex Karpovsky (Girls) as “Big Noah,” an overconfident rabbi.

• Arian Moayed (Succession) as Dr. Andy, Morgan’s unexpected love interest.

• Plus, surprise guest stars Seth Rogen and Kate Berlant join the chaos.

“If we got lucky with our main cast, we got just as lucky with our guest stars.” – Erin Foster

🎬 What Happened in Season 1?

Season 1 ended with a dramatic parking-lot confession where Noah promised Joanne she came first, even if tradition and family said otherwise. But while it looked like a fairytale ending, the reality is complicated: Joanne isn’t Jewish, Noah’s family isn’t thrilled, and both characters have to decide just how much they’re willing to sacrifice — or grow — to make this relationship last.

As Adam Brody put it:

“It’s a sacrifice, but ideally, you grow together and you’re better for it — you don’t have to lop off a limb.”

✨ New Showrunners, Same Heart

Season 2 brings in Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan (Girls, Six Feet Under) as showrunners, alongside executive producer Nora Silver. Their collaboration with Erin Foster promises a fresh but familiar energy, mixing sharp comedy with heartfelt romance.

“Justice for healthy relationships being the most romantic!” – Erin Foster
