Netflix’s breakout romantic comedy Nobody Wants This has captured hearts worldwide with its witty take on an unlikely romance between agnostic podcaster Joanne (Kristen Bell) and charming rabbi Noah (Adam Brody). Following the explosive success of Season 2, which dominated global charts and racked up millions of views shortly after its October 2025 release, the streamer has wasted no time greenlighting a third season set to premiere in 2026.
The renewal comes as no surprise given the show’s meteoric rise. Season 1 debuted in late 2024 to critical acclaim, earning Emmy nominations and becoming a binge-watching favorite for its sharp humor, relatable chaos, and undeniable chemistry between leads Bell and Brody. Season 2 built on that foundation, delving deeper into the couple’s interfaith challenges while expanding the ensemble with family dynamics and hilarious side stories. It quickly topped Netflix’s English TV list, drawing in new viewers and reviving interest in the first season.
Creator Erin Foster, drawing from her own real-life experiences, has crafted a series that balances laugh-out-loud moments with genuine emotional depth. Showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, who took the helm for Season 2, will return, promising more of the “criminally fun” collaboration that has made the show a standout. Filming will continue in Los Angeles, maintaining the vibrant, grounded feel that grounds the characters’ whirlwind lives.
While exact plot details remain under wraps, Season 3 is poised to explore the aftermath of Season 2’s heartfelt finale, where Joanne and Noah recommitted to each other amid lingering questions about faith, family, and future. Expect the core cast – including Justine Lupe as Joanne’s sister Morgan, Timothy Simons as Noah’s brother Sasha, and Jackie Tohn as his sister-in-law Esther – to return, navigating new hurdles in their personal lives.
Rumors swirling among fans suggest Season 3 could introduce bold changes, pushing the boundaries of the couple’s relationship into uncharted territory. With Joanne’s potential journey toward conversion and Noah’s rabbinical commitments, the stakes feel higher than ever. The series has always thrived on the tension between love and real-world obstacles, and this next chapter promises to intensify that drama while keeping the rom-com sparkle intact.
Nobody Wants This has proven itself as one of Netflix’s most reliable hits, blending nostalgia for classic rom-coms with modern edge. Its quick renewals reflect strong viewer demand, and Season 3’s arrival in 2026 ensures fans won’t have long to wait for more chaos, kisses, and heartfelt debates. As the show evolves, it continues to charm with its message: sometimes, the relationships nobody wants are exactly the ones everybody needs.
Whether you’re rewatching the first two seasons or jumping in fresh, Nobody Wants This remains essential viewing for anyone craving smart, sexy, and sincerely funny television.
