Nobody Wants This Season 2 Premieres October 23; HGTV and Retta Continue Partnership

Netflix debuted an official first look at the much-anticipated return of the hit comedy series, Nobody Wants This. The second season returns October 23, only on Netflix.
Season 2 Synopsis: 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.
10 episodes will air from creator Erin Foster. Executive Producers: Erin Foster, Steven Levitan, Kristen Bell, Sara Foster, Danielle Stokdyk, Jeff Morton, Bruce Eric Kaplan, Jenni Konner and Nora Silver. Kaplan and Konner serve as showrunners. The series is produced by 20th Television. Cast: Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, Jackie Tohn, Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitchcock, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Emily Arlook, Sherry Cola, Shiloh Berman. Season 2 Guest Stars: Leighton Meester, Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky, Arian Moayed.
The search for the country's most spine-tingling properties will continue when Retta, star of HGTV's Ugliest House in America, returns for six new episodes of the popular spinoff Scariest House in America on Friday, Sept. 19, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The series, which attracted more than 8.3 million viewers to its freshman season, will follow actress, comedian and home design enthusiast Retta as she travels the U.S. to tour 15 more petrifyingly paranormal or horrifically hideous houses whose owners say are haunted by scary stories and hair-raising sights. This season, the frightening finds will include a former funeral home with a basement morgue, a house situated on a graveyard and a property that resembles a witch's hat - all where spooky shadows lurk, lights flicker and strange noises abound.
In each episode, Retta will share hilariously unfiltered views about each home's scary appearance, un-livability and fright factor. HGTV will ultimately deem one house the "scariest" of them all and award the homeowners a $150,000 renovation by popular network designer Alison Victoria in a one-hour season finale.
