Nobody Wants This

Netflix announced that the hit comedy series Nobody Wants This has been renewed for a third season, slated to premiere in 2026. The series will continue to film in Los Angeles. The second season of Nobody Wants This recently premiered on October 23, 2025 and is stealing hearts once again landing at number one in the Global English TV Top 10 list for the second week in a row. It's now at 18M views through its first 11 days and has reached the top 10 in 82 countries.

The third season will complete production in Los Angeles along with a number of other recent Netflix shows and films, including Beef S2, Lincoln Lawyer S4, Nemesis, the fourth installment of Monster, Worst Ex Ever S2, The Rip and Animals.

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 comedy stars Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn.
