‘Nobody Wants This' Season 2 Netflix Premiere Date Revealed, Creator Promises ‘Romantic and Funny' Outing
Netflix know that a lot of somebodies want this. The second season of 'Nobody Wants This' will premiere October 23. The show first dropped on the streamer last September to sparkling reviews, with IndieWire's Proma Khosla praising the chemistry between leads Kristen Bell and Adam Brody.
The show, created by Erin Foster, finds Joanne (Bell, also an executive producer) and Noah (Brody) in a would-be conventional love story complicated by Noah's position as a rabbi. Popular podcaster Joanne isn't just not Jewish, she's also unreligious generally — as is her entire non-traditional family. As Noah and Joanne attempt to acclimate to each other's worlds, and Joanne explores converting, things get complicated — to put it lightly.

'Nobody Wants This' was renewed back in October, but the drop date was not revealed until the June 1 Netflix FYSEE L.A. Emmy event at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles. The evening featured a screening of the pilot followed by a live taping of Foster's 'The World's First Podcast' with Foster, Bell, Brody and fellow cast members Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn.
Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitchcock, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Emily Arlook, Sherry Cola, and Shiloh Berman will also return for the next batch of episodes, and guests stars will include Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky, Arian Moayed, and Bell's 'Gossip Girl' co-star Leighton Meester.
Foster based the series on her own life. The actress, writer and podcaster converted to Judaism after falling in love with her Jewish now-husband, Simon Tikhman. Last year, Foster discussed her experience with IndieWire.
'There were about 23 people [in my conversion class] and only three were converting for marriage, which tells you there was 20 very interesting stories going on in that room!' she said. 'And I thought it was just interesting. I hadn't ever seen anybody explore that area, and I thought it'd be cool.'
Last month, Foster told IndieWire that Season 2 of 'Nobody Wants This' would be 'romantic and funny.'
'I'm not in the business of depriving people of what they want on a show like this, and making some like, artistic choice to rob you of what you want to see. I really tried to stay on point with Season 1, [it] was all these firsts, first kiss, first date, and this is going to be the next four to six months of the relationship what that looks like,' she said.

MLB Announcer Makes Unfortunate Mistake Reading 'Pride Night' Ad
MLB Announcer Makes Unfortunate Mistake Reading 'Pride Night' Ad originally appeared on The Spun. The silence was deafening during Saturday's broadcast of Reds-Cardinals when St. Louis announcer Chip Caray made an awful slip while reading an ad for the team's upcoming Disability Pride Night. Advertisement While the veteran play-by-play voice quickly corrected the unfortunate mistake where he read the word "flag" with the "l," the half a minute or so to follow made for some of the most awkward television you'll ever see. The dead air was eventually broken by partner Brad Thompson who swooped in to note Sonny Gray's pitch being called a ball. There didn't seem to be anything intentional about Caray's comment, but that didn't change how tough of a listen it was. Ironically, Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman was caught using a much more pointed use of the homophobic slur a handful of years ago when calling the team's doubleheader vs. the Kansas City Royals. Advertisement "One of the [expletive] capitals of the world. 'Reds Live,' the pregame show, presented by Ray St. Clair Roofing…" Brennaman said, before apologizing later that night. I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart that I am so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith... I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again, I don't know if it's going to be for the Reds, I don't know if it's going to be for my bosses at FOX. Mar 30, 2023; St. Louis, Missouri, USA; Bally Sports Midwest announcer Chip Caray and Brad Thompson wave to the fans during the second inning of an opening day game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Toronto Blue Jays at Busch Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jeff Curry-Imagn Images© Jeff Curry-Imagn Images I want to apologize to the people who sign my paycheck, for the Reds, for FOX Sports Ohio, for the people I work with, for anybody I've offended here tonight. I can't begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am. That is not who I am, it never has been, and I'd like to think I could have some people, maybe, that could back that up. I am very, very sorry, and I beg for your forgiveness. Brennaman had been exiled from broadcasting for nearly four years following the incident before returning to the booth with The CW last summer.
