Nobody Wants This season 3 looks more promising after these 2 major updates

Let’s be honest. Nobody Wants This is the kind of show that sneaks up on you. You hit play thinking it’s just another quirky Netflix rom-com, and before you know it, you’re six episodes deep, emotionally invested in a love story between an unapologetically blunt agnostic podcaster and a charming, slightly awkward rabbi who can’t help but fall for her.

Somehow, Kristen Bell and Adam Brody take a premise that could’ve easily felt like a gimmick and turn it into something real. Bell shines as Joanne, giving us a character who’s both hilariously flawed and fiercely honest, while Brody’s Noah brings a quiet warmth and sincerity that grounds the entire story. Together, they’re magnetic on screen. We're talking about the kind of pairing that makes you believe in impossible love!

After a successful first season, Netflix quickly renewed the Emmy-nominated series for a second installment in October 2024. Nobody Wants This season 2 was released on Netflix in its entirety on Oct. 23, 2025, and once again, fans were hooked from the very first episode. Season 2 dives even deeper into Joanne and Noah’s relationship, exploring the messy, hilarious, and heartfelt challenges of merging two very different worlds.

Nobody Wants This isn't known to end its seasons on big, shocking cliffhangers. Season 1 didn't end that way, and neither did season 2. However, the show’s strength lies in its ability to leave viewers wanting more without relying on over-the-top twists. Now that the second season has come and gone, everyone's wondering about a potential Nobody Wants This season 3. While the hit romantic comedy series hasn't been renewed yet, the chances are looking better than ever with these two major updates!

A Nobody Wants This season 3 writer's room has started

It's true! Bell spoke with Parade in a recent interview and confirmed that the writer’s room for Nobody Wants This season 3 has officially started, meaning the creative minds behind the hit series are already hard at work brainstorming, plotting, and crafting the next chapter of Joanne and Noah’s story. While Netflix hasn’t officially renewed the show yet, this early writing process is a huge sign that the team is eager to continue exploring more of Joanne and Noah’s relationship.

“The writer’s room is working right now. You never know if you’re gonna be able to shoot because that’s way above our pay grade, and they decide what shows are gonna be shot. But the writer’s room is writing it right now. That we know.”

However, keep in mind that an active writer’s room doesn’t guarantee that season 3 will be filmed or released. Like Bell told Parade, the decision ultimately rests with Netflix. So, it's important that tons of people continue to watch, stream, and support Nobody Wants This season 2.

Strong viewership and fan engagement can make a big difference in convincing Netflix that a third season is not just wanted, but needed. The more viewers show they’re invested in Joanne and Noah’s story, the greater the chances that the series will get the official green light to return.

Nobody Wants This season 2 is topping Netflix's TV charts

Remember when we just said how imperative it is that many people tune in to Nobody Wants This season 2? Well, it looks like viewers are doing just that. Season 2 is not just gaining traction. It’s absolutely topping Netflix’s TV charts! In its first four days alone, the rom-com racked up an impressive 8.6 million views, proving that fans are just as invested in Joanne and Noah’s heartfelt love story as they were in season 1.

The first season had 10.3 million views in its opening days, so season 2’s numbers are slightly lower but still extremely strong. Essentially, the show is maintaining its popularity and continues to be a big hit for Netflix, even if it didn’t quite match the debut of the first season. If the show can keep up this momentum, it’s likely to continue dominating the charts for weeks to come. It'll also nudge Netflix into making that official season 3 renewal announcement. Fingers crossed!
