Nobody Wants This Season 2: Trailer, Release Date, Cast, and What’s Next for Kristen Bell and Adam Brody

Netflix has released the official trailer, key art, and new images for Nobody Wants This Season 2, confirming the hit comedy will return on Wednesday, October 23, 2025.

Kristen Bell and Adam Brody are back as Joanne and Noah, an unlikely couple still trying to blend their lives, families, and wildly different worldviews.

Looking Back at Season 1

Debuting in late 2024, Nobody Wants This quickly became an unexpected streaming success. The series spent six weeks on Netflix’s Global English Top 10 list, reached the Top 10 in 89 countries, and amassed over 57 million views by year’s end.

Season 1 followed agnostic podcast host Joanne and unconventional rabbi Noah, whose unexpected chemistry challenged their own beliefs and surprised everyone around them, including Joanne’s sister Morgan (Justine Lupe) and Noah’s brother Sasha (Timothy Simons).

Season 2 Synopsis

Netflix describes the new season:

“First comes love, then comes life. The last time we saw agnostic podcast host Joanne (Kristen Bell) and unconventional (hot) rabbi Noah (Adam Brody), their unmatched chemistry surprised everyone in their lives, including her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons) and sister-in-law Esther (Jackie Tohn), and even themselves. Their spark proved stronger than all of the obstacles trying to keep them apart. Now, they’re back and fully committed to merging their lives, and loved ones, together. But their differences still exist and can’t be ignored. The challenge now is not just falling in love against all odds, but staying together in spite of them.”

The story promises more sharp humor about modern relationships while digging into the messiness of family, faith, and identity.
