Nobody Wants This season 2: Netflix announces release date and guest stars

Nobody Wants This is a show we did want. The Netflix series was a top 10 show in 89 countries, and spent six weeks in Netflix's global English top 10. 57 million views later, after the series was released last September tell us the title of the series is quite ironic.

If you have not yet dived into the show, the plot follows an agnostic podcast host (Joanne) who meets a rabbi (Noah) and the two begin a relationship. While the personal views cause them to naturally disagree about some things, their families are not overly helpful either.

The families don't always intentionally cause problems, but they tend to anyway. The show is a romantic comedy after all, so pratfalls will be had and had often.

Netflix's Nobody Wants This gets its release date for season 2

But fans of the show won't only have one good season. There is more to come. Netflix announced that season 2 won't be arriving in 2026, but instead, building on its 2024 success, the next season will arrive on October 23.

Among the guest stars, which you can see below, will be Leighton Meester. Meester starred in Gossip Girl, so her appearance will allow her to play along with Kristen Bell once again. Meester is also Adam Brody's real-life wife.

This makes us wonder if maybe Dax Shepard, Bell's real-life husband, will eventually make an appearance. That might make Nobody Wants This even more of a family affair, but that would include a lot of talent. And a lot of fun.

Nobody Wants This cast:

• Kristen Bell as Joanne
• Adam Brody as Noah Roklov
• Justine Lupe as Morgan
• Timothy Simons as Sasha Roklov
• Jackie Tohn as Esther Roklov
• Stephanie Faracy as Lynn
• Michael Hitchcock as Henry
• Tovah Feldshuh as Bina Roklov
• Paul Ben-Victor as Ilan Roklov
• Emily Arlook as Rebecca
• Sherry Cola as Ashley
• Shiloh Berman as Miriam

Guest stars for season 2 will include Leighton Meester, Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky and Arian Moayed.

The video announcing the season 2 release date is a fun watch beyond just that information. You can see it above.
