‘Nobody Wants This’ Season 2: Release Date, Cast Details, Plot Overview, and More

Everyone seems to be talking about the hit Netflix series *Nobody Wants This*, created by Erin Foster, which draws inspiration from her own experiences of love with her husband, Simon Tikhman. The narrative unfolds around Noah (played by Adam Brody), an unconventional and charismatic rabbi, and Joanne (Kristen Bell), an agnostic sex podcaster. Their encounter at a dinner party hosted by mutual friends ignites a palpable chemistry. However, the couple faces a significant hurdle: their differing religious beliefs. But as the saying goes, the path to true love is rarely smooth.

Release Date for Season 2 of Nobody Wants This

Jackie Tohn, who plays Ester, shared insights with Deadline about the highly anticipated second season. Filming is set to commence in March 2025. Tohn described the journey as a whirlwind, expressing gratitude for the experience: “It feels like we haven’t stopped since season 1, with press tours and awards season right after.”Fortunately for fans, Netflix announced in October 2024 that season 2 is expected to premiere later in 2025.

Returning Cast for Season 2

Both Adam Brody and Kristen Bell will reprise their roles as the beloved couple, Noah and Joanne. The show’s charm is also rooted in its supporting cast, who will return, including Justine Lupe and Timothy Simons as Morgan and Sasha, siblings to the leads. Additionally, Tovah Feldshuh and Paul Ben-Victor will continue in their roles as Noah’s parents, Bina and Ilan, alongside Stephanie Faracy and Michael Hitchcock as Joanne’s parents, Henry and Lynne.

Excitingly, Leighton Meester, Brody’s real-life wife known for her role in *Gossip Girl*, will join the ensemble as Abby, an Instagram influencer with a history as Joanne’s middle school rival. The cast will also feature Miles Fowler as Lenny, who is expected to be romantically connected to Morgan.

Potential Plot Directions for Season 2

As season one concluded, viewers witnessed Noah’s choice to remain with Joanne, possibly at the expense of his ambitions for a head rabbi position. Conversely, Joanne pondered the idea of converting to Judaism for Noah but ultimately hesitated in committing. The narrative left viewers with questions about the implications of their decisions and the sacrifices we make for love.

The romantic moment where Noah chased after Joanne as she departed from a Bat Mitzvah introduced a layer of complexity. Will Noah have second thoughts about his choice? Will Joanne ever feel ready to convert? Season 2 is likely to delve into these intricate themes of identity and love.

Moreover, the developing bond between Noah and Joanne’s siblings, Morgan and Sasha, leaves audiences speculating about the nature of their relationship. Do they harbor romantic feelings for one another? This scenario can lead to complications, especially since Sasha is already married with a child while Morgan is single. The dynamic between friends of the opposite sex may also come under examination.

With numerous questions left unanswered, the audience is left in eager anticipation for the next season. As you await further developments, consider binge-watching *Normal People* on Hulu or *Modern Love* on Prime Video for your romance fix.
