Warning: This post contains spoilers from Netflix's Nobody Wants This.
If you're like us and spent last fall watching Nobody Wants This on Netflix, you've probably been combing the internet for season 2 news — and likely not in a calm and collected way. Well, now you can rest because Nobody Wants This season 2 is officially around the corner, and we finally have a trailer.
Netflix's miniseries starring The O.C. star Adam Brody as “Hot Rabbi” Noah Roklov and Veronica Mars star and OG Gossip Girl narrator Kristen Bell as agnostic sex podcaster Joanne immediately made major rounds among rom-com aficionados all around the world. Spanning 10 quasi-hour-long episodes, season 1 of Nobody Wants This centers on the two star-crossed lovers' instant connection as they try to make things work even when the universe — or, well, in this case, religion — tells them they shouldn't.
Towards the end of the season, things were looking up for Noah and Joanne, but, of course, a last-minute twist made every single watcher manifest a second season, and our prayers were answered.
Below, we have collated everything we know so far about Netflix's Nobody Wants This season 2 for your reading pleasure. (And yes, Adam Brody will be joined by IRL wife Leighton Meester this time around!)
Is there a trailer for Nobody Wants This season 2?
After much waiting, Netflix released the official trailer for Nobody Wants This season 2 on September 25, 2025. In the trailer, which you can see above, we see Noah and Joanne back in action — both podcast-wise and relationship-wise. We also get to see the aftermath of Joanne's decision to backtrack on converting to Judaism, which Noah is not taking well, and we are introduced to a number of new characters.
Are there any first look photos from Nobody Wants This season 2?
Yes! Netflix released a handful of pictures from Nobody Wants This season 2 to coincide with the trailer release, giving us a first look at Leighton Meester's and Seth Rogen's characters, among others.
On August 14, 2025, Netflix also released a handful of first-look photos for Nobody Wants This season 2. Keep scrolling to see new pics of Noah and Joanne navigating their new leap-of-faith relationship, their blended families, and a few peeks at new characters joining this next chapter.
When is Nobody Wants This season 2 coming out?
Netflix had previously confirmed on October 10, 2024, that new episodes of Nobody Wants This season 2 will arrive on the streamer in 2025. On June 1, 2024, Netflix gathered the cast for a special announcement video, which you can watch above, where it was revealed that Nobody Wants This season 2 will officially return on October 23, 2025.
Before the Emmys 2025, where the show was nominated for several major awards, Netflix unveiled the official poster for Nobody Wants This season 2, reconfirming the release date with a photo of Noah kissing Joanne's forehead while they hug, accompanied by the phrase “We're so back.” A new poster was revealed to coincide with the trailer. You can see both below.
What is Nobody Wants This season 2 going to be about?
This is where we get really spoiler-heavy, so if you are still not caught up with the first 10 episodes of Nobody Wants This, look away. Final spoiler warning here. Ok, now we can talk.
Season 1 of Nobody Wants This ended with a bit of a cliffhanger after Joanne and her sister and podcast companion Morgan (played by Justine Lupe) crashes Noah's niece's Bat Mitzvah after learning Noah's ex had lied to them about keeping in touch.
The NYC-themed Bat Mitzvah was a rollercoaster, to put it bluntly, with Joanne making the choice to convert to Judaism and be with Noah freely, only to backtrack a few minutes after learning about the responsibility a Rabbi's wife carries.
Joanne gave Noah an ultimatum to pick, and the last we see of him, he decided to chase her, following a bus on foot to kiss her. While the gesture is romantic, it's also pretty inconclusive, so we assume Nobody Wants This season 2 would pick up right where we left off, or at least shortly after, to paint the full picture.
Speaking to IndieWire, series creator Erin Foster, who looked to her own life for inspo to pen the show, already teased how the story could potentially go. “The story in Season 1 unfolds really slowly. And so I think if there is a Season 2, I would want to just kind of pick up where we leave off and continue to take it slow, because I don’t want us to get too far ahead of ourselves. I mean, I want my show to be on the air as long as possible!” Foster said.
Who is in the cast of Nobody Wants This season 2?
The entire cast is confirmed to return for Nobody Wants This season 2. That means Adam Brody and Kristen Bell will be reprising their roles. We will also see Justine Lupe as Joanne's sister Morgan and Timothy Simons as Noah's brother Sasha, who also have some… let's call it friendly tension… to resolve in season 2.
Speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Lupe admitted the tension stays friendly. “For me, I’m like, isn’t there so much more fun to be mined out of us becoming these weird friends than there is to destroying a family? It’s not fun,” she said. On that front, Jackie Tohn, who plays Sasha’s wife Esther, was a recurring guest star for season one but has been bumped to series regular for season 2, according to TVLine.
Other returning cast members include Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitchcock, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Emily Arlook, Sherry Cola, and Shiloh Berman.
In other major casting news, Variety reported on Feb. 20, 2025, that Leighton Meester (a.k.a. Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf, a.k.a. Adam Brody's IRL spouse) has joined season 2 of Nobody Wants This.
Meester is joining the cast as a guest star alongside Miles Fowler. Meester will play Abby, and she is Joanne's middle school nemesis turned Instagram mommy influencer. She will reportedly guest-star in one episode. Fowler, on the other hand, will portray Lenny, one of Noah's Matzah Ballers teammates, who gets “set up” with Joanne's sister, Morgan. He is set to guest-star in two episodes.
On March 4, 2025, Deadline also reported that Succession and Girls alums Arian Moayed and Alex Karpovsky have joined the cast of Nobody Wants This season 2. Moayed will reportedly take on the role of Dr. Andy, who's described as “a charming, highly regarded (particularly by himself) psychotherapist.” He is set to be a love interest for Morgan. Karpovsky, on the other hand, joins the show as Big Noah, “an overly confident rabbi at Noah’s temple" who's poised to be Brody's new onscreen “work rival.”
On September 18, 2025, Seth Rogen and Kate Berlant were announced as guest stars on the second season of Nobody Wants This, and first-look photos reveal their characters to be Rabbi Neil and Cami.
When was Nobody Wants This season 2 announced?
On October 10, 2024, Netflix greenlit Nobody Wants This season 2 exactly two weeks after the series' official premiere on September 26, 2024. Judging by viewers' reactions to Nobody Wants This and critic scores (the series boasts a 93% fresh certification on Rotten Tomatoes), the possibility of a second season seemed strong.
Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria revealed the renewal at the Bloomberg Screentime Conference in Los Angeles that day, along with the news that Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan (who worked together on Girls) are joining the second season as showrunners and executive producers, alongside Nora Silver as a new EP.
“Creating Nobody Wants This will forever be a career highlight for me," series creator and EP Erin Foster said in a statement. "The incredible cast, crew, producers, and executives all made this into the show it is today, and to experience viewers' reactions to this series now that it's out in the world has been more than anything I could have dreamed. I’m so lucky to be able to continue this story and to do it alongside Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, who I've been such a fan of since Girls... Justice for healthy relationships being the most romantic!”
When did Nobody Wants This season 2 finish filming?
Netflix previously revealed that Nobody Wants This season 2 had officially begun filming back in March 2025, with production taking place in Los Angeles. Filming wrapped in May.

According to IMDb, filming for season 1 took place from February to May 2024 for a September premiere. Speaking to Deadline, Jackie Tohn already revealed a similar timeline for filming season 2.
“It’s been a whirlwind. It sort of feels like we haven’t stopped since season 1 because we came out, and then we were doing press. Then we were sort of thrust right into awards season, which was sort of insane that we were even included in that conversation. And now, we’re starting season 2 already. It’s sort of just going, it’s awesome.”
Previously, Adam Brody also revealed the plan was to film season 2 “relatively soon" after the premiere of season 1, with creator Erin Foster doubling down and admitting that “the goal for season 2 is that if you watched season 1 and 2 together, you wouldn’t feel a big difference.” She added: "It should feel like a continuation of the same dynamics, the same feel, the same cadence.”
Will Nobody Wants This season 2 have its own soundtrack?
Yes! Netflix unveiled the tracklist for Nobody Wants This Season 2: The Soundtrack on October 8, 2025, and it is stacked. Featuring 19 original songs, the soundtrack will be released via The Core Records in partnership with Interscope Records and features artists like Selena Gomez, Role Model, Royel Otis, and more.
“The fact that we were able to put together a one-of-a-kind soundtrack with incredible artists speaks to the success of the first season,” The Core Entertainment CEO and co-founder Simon Tikhman said in a statement. “I wanted the music to reflect the same mix of honesty, sharpness, and heart that Erin brings to the story, while also creating a soundtrack that can stand on its own. I’m deeply invested in this project — and, of course, in its creator — which made getting the music right all the more meaningful.”
