AceShowbiz - Production has officially begun on Season 3 of the romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This, which will continue to be filmed in Los Angeles for Netflix. The show’s renewal for a third season was announced last fall, shortly after the ten-episode second season was released on the streaming platform.
The returning cast includes series regulars Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn, all reprising their roles as the story progresses into its latest season. Fans of the series can anticipate seeing more of these familiar faces as the narrative deepens.
Created by Erin Foster, Nobody Wants This has become a standout success for Netflix. The first two seasons collectively spent 12 weeks in the Netflix Global English TV top 10 charts. The series reached the top 10 in 89 countries and even hit #1 in 43 countries worldwide. After the release of Season 2, interest surged again, pushing Season 1 back into the top 10 as viewers rewatched the show to revisit its beginnings.
The third season is expected to premiere on Netflix later this year, continuing to explore the complex relationship dynamics between the lead characters Joanne and Noah. Joanne, played by Kristen Bell, is an agnostic podcast host, while Noah, portrayed by Adam Brody, is an unconventional rabbi recently out of a relationship. Their unexpected connection begins at a party and unfolds against the backdrop of their differing worldviews, modern romantic challenges, and the influence of their families, including her sister Morgan (played by Justine Lupe) and brother Sasha (played by Timothy Simons).
Season 2 focused on the couple as they struggled to maintain their relationship while navigating personal and external conflicts. The upcoming season is anticipated to continue this exploration of love, faith, and family tensions.
Nobody Wants This is executive produced and showrun by Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan. Additional executive producers include Erin Foster, Kristen Bell, Sara Foster, Nora Silver, Steven Levitan, Danielle Stokdyk, Jeff Morton, and Oly Obst (executive producer for 3arts). The series is produced by 20th Television, further solidifying its status as a key Netflix original.
The show joins a growing list of Netflix projects filmed in Los Angeles, such as Running Point Season 2, The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4, the upcoming film Animals directed by Ben Affleck, Beef Season 2 from creator Lee Sung Jin, Monster Season 4 by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, and the weekly talent competition series Star Search.
Fans eager for more insight into the production can look forward to behind-the-scenes photos and updates, offering a glimpse of the cast and crew at work on the new season. The continuation of Nobody Wants This promises to bring more heartfelt storytelling and character-driven humor to Netflix audiences worldwide.
