Why the quick renewal
Netflix does not always announce renewals this fast, which makes this one stand out. Season 2 barely got out the door before the streamer gave the go-ahead for more, likely helped by that No. 1 chart spot and the 18 million-view start. Translation: people are binging it, and Netflix noticed.
What the show is doing right now
The series follows Kristen Bell as Joanne, an agnostic podcast host, and Adam Brody as Noah, an unconventional (and yes, the show leans into it) hot rabbi. Season 2 picks up with them past the will-they-won't-they phase and actually trying to combine their lives and families. The friction is the point: they are all-in, but their differences do not magically disappear. Expect complications with her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons), and sister-in-law Esther (Jackie Tohn) as the couple tries to stay together rather than just fall together.
The team behind it sounds pretty thrilled
"We are so grateful to Netflix and 20th for giving us another season of Nobody Wants this. This job is criminally fun. Working with the uniquely gifted Erin Foster, this unbelievable cast of talented, hilarious pros, amazing writers, and incredible crew has been a truly great experience. Go Dodgers!"

So, the show is a hit, the bosses are happy, and Season 3 is on the books. We will see it in 2026. When Netflix picks a date, I will shout.
