Nobody Wants This Season 3: Will It Get the Green Light or Face the Axe?
Two hit seasons down—will Netflix greenlight Season 3 of Nobody Wants This? Here’s what we know about the show’s fate and what could be next for Kristen Bell and Adam Brody’s opposites-attract romance.
Season 2 of Netflix comedy Nobody Wants This just landed, and I get why everyone is already asking the obvious question: so, are we getting Season 3 or not?
Quick catch-up: what this show actually is
Kristen Bell and Adam Brody play Joanne and Noah, two people from very different worlds who stumble into real chemistry and then try to make it work in the real world. He is a rabbi at a temple. She is not even sure God is a thing. That gap is not subtle, and their friends and families notice.
Where Season 2 left them
The second season is basically them pulling their circles into the relationship, trying to get everyone on board while still juggling careers that do not line up neatly. The job divide is a big sticking point for the people around them, and the show does not pretend otherwise.
So, is Season 3 happening?
Short answer: Netflix has not said yes or no yet. The new season just dropped, which usually means the streamer is going to sit back and watch the numbers before making a call. Think budget, viewership, and overall response.
- Official status: no renewal or cancellation announced
- Timing: too early; Season 2 only just released
- What drives the decision: budget, audience reception, and viewership
- Why there is reason to be optimistic: the show has been very popular on Netflix, and Season 1 scored three Emmy nominations
- If it moves forward: expect Kristen Bell back as Joanne and Adam Brody back as Noah
If we do get a Season 3
Assuming Netflix pulls the trigger, Bell and Brody almost certainly return as the core duo. The series started with everyone around them surprised they were a couple at all, and the arc so far has been about making that surprise sustainable. Despite the obvious differences in belief and work lives, they have been building something stable. A third season would naturally keep pressing on the relationship vs. career/community tension that the show leans into.
The industry angle worth noting
Netflix has every incentive to see how far the momentum carries. Popularity plus awards attention — those three Emmy nominations for Season 1 — tends to nudge streamers toward more episodes. But until Netflix flips that switch, it is all potential, not a promise.
