Nobody Wants This Season 3 has officially started production in Los Angeles, with Netflix confirming that the fan-favorite comedy is set to return in 2026.
The announcement marks the next phase for the series created by Erin Foster, following the strong performance of its first two seasons on the platform. Production is now underway in California, placing the show alongside several other recent Netflix projects filming in Los Angeles.
Returning series regulars include Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn, all reprising their roles as the story continues.
Inside the Next Chapter of Nobody Wants This Season 3
With Nobody Wants This Season 3 now in production, the series moves forward from the relationship developments established in Season 2.
The previous season followed Joanne, played by Kristen Bell, and Noah, portrayed by Adam Brody, as their relationship evolved beyond its initial spark. Their connection, which initially surprised those around them, became more grounded as they worked to integrate their lives and families.
Season 2 positioned the couple in a more committed phase, where the focus shifted from early attraction to the realities of sustaining a relationship. The narrative also continued to involve the wider ensemble, including Morgan (Justine Lupe), Sasha (Timothy Simons), and Esther (Jackie Tohn), whose presence shaped both the personal and comedic dynamics of the series.
A Strong Performance Across Netflix’s Global Charts
The decision to move forward with Nobody Wants This Season 3 follows the show’s sustained presence on Netflix’s global rankings.
Across its first two seasons, the series spent a combined 12 weeks in the Global English TV Top 10. It reached the Top 10 in 89 countries and secured the number one position in 43 of them.
Following the October 23, 2025 release of Season 2, audience interest also extended back to earlier episodes. Season 1 re-entered the Top 10, driven by renewed attention to the central relationship and its origins.
This continued engagement across multiple regions places the series among Netflix’s stronger-performing comedy titles in recent cycles.
Production in Los Angeles and Netflix’s Broader Slate
The start of production in Los Angeles also reflects Netflix’s ongoing investment in local filming.
Nobody Wants This Season 3 joins a slate of recent productions taking place in the city, including:
- Running Point Season 2
- The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4
- The upcoming film Animals directed by Ben Affleck
- BEEF Season 2 from Lee Sung Jin
- Monster Season 4 from Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan
- The weekly competition series Star Search
This positioning situates the series within a broader group of returning and upcoming titles currently in development or production.
Creative Team Behind the Series
The show continues under the creative direction of its established team.
Erin Foster serves as creator, with Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan returning as executive producers and showrunners. Additional executive producers include Kristen Bell, Sara Foster, Nora Silver, Steven Levitan, Danielle Stokdyk, Jeff Morton, and Oly Obst for 3arts.
The series is produced by 20th Television.
