EXCLUSIVE: Kristen Bell and Adam Brody’s steamy rom-com Nobody Wants This is BACK – and it’s SO sizzling fans are bingeing the entire season in one night (while begging Netflix for a third!)
👑 Chemistry hotter than a LA heatwave! 😱 That jaw-dropping finale twist has left viewers ’emotionally destroyed’ 🔥 Seth Rogen’s rabbi steals the show – and Leighton Meester’s savage one-liners are pure gold
LOS ANGELES – Move over, Emily in Paris – there’s a new queen of Netflix rom-coms in town, and her name is Joanne.
Kristen Bell and Adam Brody have returned in the scorching second season of Nobody Wants This, and it’s fair to say the internet has collectively lost its mind.
Dropped without warning on Thursday, the 10 new episodes have already catapulted to No. 2 in the UK Netflix charts – and fans are devouring them faster than you can say ‘hot rabbi’.
One breathless viewer posted on X: ‘Finished #NobodyWantsThis S2 at 3am. I am BROKEN. Season 3 or we riot.’
From forbidden kiss to full-blown romance: The love story that’s got everyone talking
When we last saw agnostic sex-podcaster Joanne (Bell, 45) and dreamy rabbi-in-training Noah (Brody, 45), they were locking lips in a moment that melted a million screens.
Fast-forward a year, and the pair are shacking up – but merging their wildly different worlds is proving trickier than a kosher bacon sandwich.
Joanne’s still dropping F-bombs on her X-rated podcast. Noah’s still dodging his mother’s calls about ‘finding a nice Jewish girl’. And the family drama? Off the charts.
Justine Lupe’s chaotic sister Morgan is pregnant with a mystery man’s baby, while Timothy Simons’ hapless Sasha has invested the family savings in a crypto scheme involving alpacas. (Yes, really.)
THAT rain-soaked fight scene that’s going viral
Episode 4’s torrential downpour argument has already racked up 15 million views on TikTok.
Joanne screams: ‘Do you want me to convert for YOU or for your imaginary friend in the sky?’
Noah – shirt clinging to every muscle – grabs her for a kiss that would make Noah Calhoun from The Notebook blush.
One fan commented: ‘I need a cigarette and I don’t even smoke.’
Seth Rogen’s rabbi is the chaotic mentor we all need
The biggest surprise? Seth Rogen as Noah’s boozy spiritual advisor, Rabbi Neil.
In one scene, he downs three shots of Manischewitz and slurs: ‘Love isn’t logical, kid. It’s like Passover – messy, lasts eight days, and someone always ends up crying.’
His drunk voicemail to Noah has become the most-shared audio clip on Instagram Reels this weekend.
Leighton Meester’s blistering debut
Gossip Girl alumni Leighton Meester joins as Joanne’s razor-tongued best friend Abby – and she’s serving Blair Waldorf realness.
Her takedown of Noah’s snobby sister-in-law? ‘Honey, your passive-aggression is so thick I could spread it on a bagel.’
Meester, 39, told Daily Mail: ‘Abby’s the friend who’ll tell you your boyfriend’s a loser – then help you bury the body.’
Fashion frenzy: Joanne’s coat sells out in 12 hours
The Maje faux-shearling coat Bell wears in Episode 3? Gone. Vanished. Kaput.
Net-a-Porter crashed twice under the stampede of shoppers. One desperate fan offered £500 on eBay for a size small.
Even Noah’s sunglasses – oversized tortoiseshell frames – have a 15,000-person waitlist at Warby Parker.
Critics divided – but fans don’t care
The Guardian awarded four stars, gushing: ‘Bell and Brody’s chemistry could power the National Grid.’
But The Hollywood Reporter sniffed: ‘Season 2 plays it safe – where’s the scandal?’
Fans? They’re too busy rewatching Episode 10’s proposal cliffhanger to notice.
Season 3 tease: Kristen Bell drops MAJOR hint
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail at a Netflix FYC event, Bell let slip:
‘The writers’ room is open. I’ve seen outlines… let’s just say someone might be walking down the aisle. But whose family will object?’
She laughed: ‘Joanne in a church? Noah at a sex-podcast live show? The possibilities are delicious.’

What the fans are saying
- ‘I gasped so loud at the ending my dog filed for divorce’ – @NetflixAndCry
- ‘Adam Brody in a wet shirt should be illegal’ – @ThirstyThursday
- ‘This is what happens when Jews and gentiles fall in love – CHAOS and I’m here for it’ – @KosherChaos
The verdict
Nobody Wants This Season 2 isn’t just a rom-com – it’s a cultural moment.
In a world of swipe-right cynicism, it dares to ask: Can love conquer latex allergies, family seders, and a podcast called ‘Climax and the City’?
Early signs say yes.
