Nobody Wants This Season 3: Is It Happening? Renewal Status and Release Timeline

Netflix looked at Joanne and Noah’s disaster of a love story and basically said: more, please. Nobody Wants This is officially coming back for Season 3, and yes, Kristen Bell and Adam Brody are back to navigate the art of loving someone while being mildly (and sometimes wildly) chaotic.

The renewal: delivered via Kristen Bell-level mischief

Instead of a press release, Bell hopped on FaceTime and told her castmates in a video that Netflix picked up Season 3. Adam Brody answered first, confused in that "did I miss a meeting?" way, before Bell dropped the news. Then she dialed up Justine Lupe, Jackie Tohn, and Timothy Simons, turning the whole thing into a group chat fever dream.

Best bit: when Bell called creator Erin Foster to share the surprise, Foster casually one-upped her with "Yeah, no, I knew that. I think I told you that." When Foster asked if Bell had told the rest of the cast yet, Bell’s tiny "No" was the cherry on top. Very 'we're all in on the joke' energy.

Where Season 3 stands right now

No premiere date yet, but the wheels are spinning. Bell says the writers room is already back at it, which means scripts are underway even if filming specifics are still locked behind Netflix’s scheduling curtain.

"The writer's room is working right now... 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."

For timing, here’s the easy math: Season 1 dropped in September 2024, Season 2 followed in October 2025. If the pace holds, late 2026 is a reasonable bet for Season 3. Not official, but that’s the pattern so far.

What we know (and what we don’t)

• Renewed: Yep. Season 3 is happening at Netflix.
• Returning leads: Kristen Bell and Adam Brody are back as Joanne and Noah.
• The announcement: Bell told the cast via a playful FaceTime chain; Erin Foster knew the whole time and let Bell walk right into it.
• Writers room: Active now, per Bell.
• Date/filming/episode count: Not announced yet. The first two seasons ran 10 episodes each, so expect something similar unless Netflix switches it up.
• Guest stars: Under wraps for now.
• Reception so far: It currently sits around 7.8/10 on IMDb and about 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.
• Where to watch: Nobody Wants This is streaming on Netflix.

So what are we walking into in Season 3?

After that wild Season 2 finale, expect the same mix this show does better than most: sharp writing, uncomfortable truths about modern relationships, and comedic shrapnel from bad decisions. It’s a comfort comedy that also pokes you in the ribs, which is exactly why people binged the first two seasons.

Bottom line: scripts are cooking, Netflix is in, and Joanne and Noah’s glorious mess lives on. Now we wait for dates, casting tidbits, and whatever curveball Erin Foster throws next.
