Is Nobody Wants This Season 3 Arriving Sooner Than You Think?
Netflix just dropped Nobody Wants This Season 2, and the Season 3 drumbeat is already getting loud. There’s no official renewal yet, but cast hints and behind-the-scenes movement suggest a green light could be imminent.
Season 2 of 'Nobody Wants This' just landed on Netflix, and the Season 3 speculation machine is already humming. So is it happening? Short answer: maybe. The tea leaves are pointing in the right direction, but the streamer hasn't stamped it yet.
Where things stand right now
- Netflix hasn't officially renewed the show yet. That said, What's on Netflix expects a renewal to come within the first two weeks of Season 2's release.
- If it gets the go-ahead soon, Season 3 is expected to arrive by November 2026.
- The WGA directory lists the Season 3 writers room as open, with Jennifer Konner and Bruce E. Kaplan set as showrunners and executive producers.
Yes, the writers are working... but that's not a renewal
This is one of those industry logistics things: the WGA listing says the Season 3 room is active, which means scripts are being developed. It does not mean Netflix has officially picked up the season. Studios sometimes get the room going while the renewal decision is still pending. So, promising sign? Definitely. Done deal? Not yet.
Kristen Bell is already talking Season 3
Kristen Bell (Joanne) said in a 2025 Parade interview that the team is writing right now. Her exact words:
You never know if you're gonna be able to shoot because that's way above our pay grade, and they decide what shows are gonna be shot. But the writer's room is writing it right now. That we know.
She also confirmed, more succinctly: 'The writer's room is working right now.' Translation: scripts are happening; filming depends on Netflix pulling the trigger.
Season 2 snapshot
This season tracks Joanne and Noah (Adam Brody) through a very rom-com-drama stretch: plenty of ups and downs, a breakup in the middle, and then the realization they still want each other. They reunite in the finale, which sets up a clean runway for a third season if Netflix wants it.
Reception-wise, it's clicking. Season 2 has an 80% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with praise for the Bell/Brody chemistry and a steady mix of charming, funny, and heartfelt beats.
The bottom line
All signs point to Season 3 being in active development, with a full writers room and the cast openly acknowledging it. But Netflix hasn't announced a renewal yet. If What's on Netflix is right about the timing, look for a decision in the first couple weeks after Season 2's drop. If it gets picked up soon, expect Season 3 by November 2026.
Will Joanne and Noah be back for another round? I'm optimistic, but until Netflix says the words, it's pencil, not pen. In the meantime, I'm curious where you think the story goes from that finale.
