The popular romantic comedy Nobody Wants This is officially moving forward. Netflix has confirmed production details for the third season, setting a March 2026 start for filming with a planned release in late 2026 . The announcement comes after the show’s successful second season, which premiered in October 2025 and quickly became a global hit for the streaming service .
Fans of Joanne and Noah’s complicated love story can expect to see Kristen Bell and Adam Brody return to their leading roles. The full main cast, including Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn, is set to come back . The series will continue to be filmed in Los Angeles, maintaining the setting established in the first two seasons .
Official Renewal and Showrunner Confirmation
Netflix made the renewal for a third season official in early November 2025, just twelve days after the second season premiered on October 23, 2025 . This quick renewal followed the pattern set by the show’s first season, which was picked up for a second season only two weeks after its initial debut .
The creative team behind the series is also returning. Creator and executive producer Erin Foster will continue to guide the story. Showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, who joined the series for its second season, will remain in their roles for Season 3 . In a statement, Konner and Kaplan expressed their excitement, calling the job “criminally fun” and praising the cast and crew .
“I couldn’t be more excited to head into a third season of this show,” said creator Erin Foster. “It is a privilege to be able to write about my favorite couple on a scale like this” .
Season 2 Success and Viewer Response
The decision to renew Nobody Wants This for a third season was supported by strong viewership numbers. In its first 11 days, Season 2 amassed 18 million views globally . It secured the number one spot on Netflix’s Global English TV list for two consecutive weeks and entered the Top 10 in 82 countries .
A significant indicator of the show’s ongoing appeal was its ability to drive viewers back to the first season. Following the Season 2 premiere, Season 1 re-entered the Netflix Top 10 at the number seven position . The first season has now spent a total of eight weeks in the Top 10 and has reached that chart in 89 countries .
Story Development and Season 2 Cliffhanger
The second season of Nobody Wants This focused on Joanne and Noah navigating a committed relationship and attempting to blend their very different lives and families . The central tension revolved around Joanne’s potential conversion to Judaism, a point of conflict since their romance began.
The season finale brought this conflict to a head. After a difficult conversation, Joanne turned to Noah’s sister-in-law, Esther, for guidance. Esther helped Joanne realize she had already embraced many aspects of Judaism in spirit and practice . In a parallel moment of clarity, Noah arrived at a separate conclusion, telling Joanne he chose her regardless of her religious decision .
This sets the stage for Season 3 to explore the practical and emotional realities of Joanne’s journey. As one industry report noted, the show’s pace is expected to pick up as it deals with Joanne’s likely conversion process .
Returning Cast and Characters
The core cast of Nobody Wants This will return for the new season. The series stars Kristen Bell as Joanne, an agnostic sex and dating podcaster, and Adam Brody as Noah, a charming and devout rabbi .
They are joined by:
- Justine Lupe as Morgan, Joanne’s sister and podcast co-host .
- Timothy Simons as Sasha, Noah’s brother .
- Jackie Tohn as Esther, Sasha’s wife .
Recurring cast members include Stephanie Faracy and Michael Hitchcock as Joanne’s parents, and Tovah Feldshuh and Paul Ben-Victor as Noah’s parents . The second season also introduced new characters like Morgan’s boyfriend, Dr. Andy, played by Arian Moayed .
