Nobody Wants This

The romantic comedy Nobody Wants This returned this week with a second season that leans deeper into faith, family, and the minefield of modern love. Led by Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, the series widens its ensemble, sharpens its interfaith storylines, and leaves just enough unresolved to fuel talk of a third season.

‘Nobody Wants This’ cast: who’s who right now

Leads

Kristen Bell as Joanne — a sharp-tongued, agnostic dating podcaster who’s learning the limits of “radical honesty.”
Adam Brody as Noah Roklov — a thoughtful rabbi navigating community expectations, family pressures, and a relationship that keeps redefining “compromise.”

Core ensemble

Justine Lupe as Morgan — Joanne’s sister and podcast co-host, a chaos engine with accidental wisdom.
Timothy Simons as Sasha Roklov — Noah’s brother, a walking boundary test.
Jackie Tohn as Esther Roklov — Sasha’s partner-in-schemes with a bulletproof grin.
Sherry Cola as Ashley — Joanne’s friend/agent, always two steps ahead on brand and zero steps ahead on feelings.
Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitchcock, Stephen Tobolowsky, Emily Arlook — the parents, mentors, and almost-fiancées who keep the pressure high and the dinner tables louder.

New this season (highlights)

Leighton Meester — a social-media-perfect foil who knows Joanne’s teenage receipts.
Arian Moayed, Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky — fresh workplace, family, and community sparks that complicate the couple’s carefully negotiated ground rules.

Season 2: what changes — and what lands

Season 1’s “opposites attract” hook—an agnostic podcaster and a rabbi fall hard—evolves into a series of negotiations: holidays, rituals, future kids, whose traditions take the front seat, and how to manage relatives who think love is a team sport with bleachers. The new episodes keep the humor brisk (snappy two-handers, weaponized niceness, gloriously bad advice) while grounding big laughs in specific, lived-in conflicts.

What pops this season:

A bigger playground. More scenes at temple, family homes, and podcast tapings let the show stage culture clashes without turning anyone into a caricature.
Sibling chaos as truth serum. Morgan and Sasha remain human lie detectors—messy, well-meaning, and often accidentally right.
The line between faith and performance. Noah’s public role and private heart tug in different directions, giving Brody low-burn dramatic beats to match Bell’s comic precision.

Is ‘Nobody Wants This’ renewed for Season 3?

Official renewal: not yet. As of October 25, 2025, the platform has not announced a pickup for Season 3.

Where things stand:

The writers’ room is working on Season 3 material, signaling confidence from the creative side.
The series posted strong engagement on its first run and arrived this week with heightened buzz around the lead duo and an expanded guest roster.
Creatively, Season 2 ends with relationship variables still in flux—the kind of poised-for-more setup streamers favor when deciding on quick renewals.

Bottom line: No greenlight yet, but momentum is real. Expect the platform to watch early-weeks completion rates and social chatter before making the call.

If Season 3 happens, what would it tackle?

Without spoiling Season 2 turns, the most likely next-season lanes include:

Family integration 2.0: Raising—or not raising—new stakes around long-term commitments, rituals, and who compromises when.
Career crosswinds: Joanne’s on-mic persona vs. off-mic growth; Noah’s community obligations vs. personal boundaries.
The “third place.” More time in the spaces—spiritual, digital, and domestic—where the couple’s worlds collide and the show mines its best jokes.

Why this series clicks: It treats faith, family, and romance not as obstacles to dunk on but as systems to navigate with jokes, grace, and a willingness to admit when you’ve overplayed your hand. Season 2 doubles down on that balance—and if the numbers show up, Season 3 feels less like an if than a when.
