In a renewal that has fans screaming louder than Joanne at a bad date, Netflix has officially greenlit a third season of Nobody Wants This, the addictive rom-com starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody that’s single-handedly revived our faith in love (and hot rabbis). Announced on November 4, 2025 – just 12 days after Season 2 dropped and dominated charts – the streamer confirmed that Joanne and Noah’s wildly relatable rollercoaster isn’t ending anytime soon. Get ready for 10 more episodes of interfaith fireworks, family meddling, and chemistry so electric it’ll short-circuit your remote. Season 3 premieres sometime in 2026, and if the pattern holds, we’re betting on a fall drop to ruin your cozy nights all over again.
The news broke like a plot twist no one saw coming but everyone desperately needed. Kristen Bell, our eternal queen of chaos, personally delivered the bombshell in a hilarious video shared by Netflix. Picture this: Bell FaceTiming her co-stars one by one – Adam Brody giving a chill thumbs-up with his signature smirk, Timothy Simons yelling “Great!”, Jackie Tohn screaming “Let’s go!” like she just won the lottery, and Justine Lupe beaming with pure joy. The clip ends with Bell “surprising” creator Erin Foster, who playfully reminds her, “I already told you!” It racked up millions of views in hours, with fans flooding comments like “This is the best group chat ever” and “Inject Season 3 into my veins NOW!”
But the real tea? This renewal was faster than Noah’s sprint to the altar. Season 1 exploded in September 2024 with 26.2 million views in its first 11 days, earning Emmy nods and turning Brody into the internet’s ultimate boyfriend. Season 2, which premiered October 23, 2025, held the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s English TV list for two straight weeks, pulling 18 million views in its debut stretch and hitting Top 10 in 82 countries. It even dragged Season 1 back into the charts at No. 7 – talk about a glow-up! No wonder Netflix couldn’t wait; this is their biggest rom-com hit since… well, ever.
For the uninitiated (first of all, fix that immediately), Nobody Wants This follows Joanne (Bell), a sassy, agnostic sex podcaster with zero filter, and Noah (Brody), a charming rabbi who’s equal parts devout and devastatingly hot. Their opposites-attract vibe starts with sparks, explodes into passion, and navigates the ultimate minefield: blending families, faiths, and futures. Season 1 was all “Will they/won’t they?” Season 2 cranked up the stakes with real-life merging – think awkward dinners, ex-drama, and Joanne’s big conversion question hanging like a cliffhanger guillotine.
And oh boy, Season 3 is primed for explosion. After Season 2’s heart-wrenching finale where Joanne finally confronts converting to Judaism (no spoilers, but grab tissues), the next chapter promises deeper dives into faith, family, and forever. Will Joanne crack open those books for her “Jewish SATs,” as Bell teased? Will Noah’s temple drama force big changes? Expect more meddling from Sasha (Simons) and Esther (Tohn), sisterly wisdom from Morgan (Lupe), and probably some surprise guest stars – Season 2 had Seth Rogen going off-script, so who knows what’s next?
Creator Erin Foster, whose real-life conversion inspired the show, is thrilled: “I couldn’t be more excited to head into a third season. It’s a privilege to write about my favorite couple on this scale. As long as it doesn’t cut into my reality TV time, I’ll do it forever!” Showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan (holding steady, no changes here) added, “This job is criminally fun. Working with Erin, this cast of hilarious pros, and the crew has been a dream.”
The cast reactions? Pure gold. Bell told Parade the writers’ room was already buzzing pre-renewal, hinting at comedy gold from Joanne’s conversion studies. Brody, ever the cool guy, is just stoked for more “clever, sweet, funny” moments. Off-screen, their friendship is goals – Brody even crashed Bell’s family slime-making sesh. And let’s not forget real-life couple Brody and Leighton Meester (who guest-starred in Season 2); fans are begging for more of that meta magic.
Social media? A total meltdown. #NobodyWantsThisSeason3 trended worldwide within minutes, with memes of Brody’s smolder captioned “Renewed because nobody wants this to end!” X blew up with thirst tweets, fan theories (baby on the way? Wedding bells?), and pleas for faster releases. One viral post: “Season 1: Lust. Season 2: Love. Season 3: Legacy. Netflix, don’t make us wait!” Even celebs chimed in – Reese Witherspoon posted crying emojis, and Paul Mescal admitted bingeing both seasons in one weekend.
Critics are obsessed too. The show snagged Emmy noms for Outstanding Comedy, Bell, and Brody, proving it’s not just fluffy fun – it’s smart, heartfelt, and hilariously honest about modern love’s messiness. In a sea of dystopian dramas, this is the comfort food we crave: laugh-out-loud banter, swoony kisses, and zero toxic tropes. As one reviewer put it, “It’s the rom-com revival we needed – healthy relationships can be sexy!”
Filming kicks off soon in sunny Los Angeles, keeping that authentic vibe. No exact premiere date yet, but with production speeding like Season 2’s quick turnaround (renewed 14 days post-debut), we’re eyeing September-October 2026. Mark your calendars and stock up on dirty sodas – Joanne would approve.
Why the hype? Because in a world of swipes and ghosts, Joanne and Noah remind us real connection is worth the chaos. They fight fair, communicate (mostly), and choose each other daily. It’s rare TV magic: nostalgic (hello, 2000s crushes reborn), inclusive (interfaith rep done right), and endlessly rewatchable.
As Bell said in the announcement vid, “We’re back, baby!” Everybody wants this – and Netflix just delivered. Stream Seasons 1-2 now, then join the wait for 3. Your heart (and group chats) will thank you. Who else is already counting down? Drop your Season 3 predictions below – conversion comedy? Surprise proposal? More Rogen chaos? The rabbi and the podcaster aren’t done stealing our hearts yet.
