Nobody Wants This

Netflix

Comedy

Sept 26

Quote

An agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi on the rebound walk into a party. When they walk out — together — the unlikely pair, Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody), can tell there is something between them. But also potentially between them, with their differing outlooks on life, all of the modern obstacles to love, and their sometimes well-meaning, sometimes sabotaging families — including her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe) and his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons).

"Nobody Wants This" is a 10 episode half-hour Comedy (Rom-Com) TV Series streaming on September 26, 2024 on Netflix. "Nobody Wants This" is based on the life of Joanne Foster, although the Jewish man that she married is not a Rabbi.

Joanne, an outspoken, brutally honest, provocative agnostic woman and her charming-yet-cutting, quick-witted sister, Morgan host a hit sex themed podcast centered around fizzy banter and their ride-or-die commitment to being alone. 

Then, Joanne goes to a party and meets an unconventional rabbi on the rebound, named Noah. They become involved in what seems like an unlikely relationship based on their differing outlooks on life. The path to love can be full of modern obstacles, including disapproval and sabotage from meddling family members on both sides.

Renewed for Season 2!

Deadline has an article on the renewal explaining the reason for the showrunner change. It sounds reasonable enough. I'm less worried than I usually am when a beloved show makes a change at the top.

I didn’t need a second season. But if there’s going to be one, these new show runners might improve things.

Details.

Wow. I don't think all of that was there when I first saw the Deadline article.

Yes! @Bruinsfan posted above out, five posts above your own. It's what the most recent posts in this thread have been about -- showrunner change as a result of the renewal.
