The final episode of the rom-com left on a cliffhanger with Noah (Brody) and Joanne (Bell)'s relationship hanging in the balanceKristen Bell, Adam Brody and the rest of the gang are coming back for a brand new season of Nobody Wants This!
On Sunday, June 1, the cast of the hit Netflix series announced that season 2 will premiere on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025.
The news was shared by Bell, Brody, Justin Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn, as well as series creator Erin Foster and executive producer Sara Foster live on stage at Netflix's FYSEE LA Emmy Event celebrating season 1.
In a video confirming the big news, Bell, Brody, Lupe, Simons and Tohn gather together as they ask a magic eight ball questions regarding the "scoop" on the second season.
The questions kick off with a fun one as Bell asks, "Will the matzah ballers make the playoffs?" In response, the eight ball says, "Try again, loser."
Other questions include whether there will be "another iconic kiss this season," if Morgan will "find love this season" and whether Esther will "forgive Sasha and Morgan for their friendship."
But the final question is perhaps the most exciting as Bell asks what's coming on Oct. 23. When the eight ball says, "Ask a rabbi," Brody proudly steps in.
"And the rabbi says: season 2! Your favorite show and mine, Nobody Wants This," he says.
The first season of Nobody Wants This became an instant hit, with Netflix announcing its decision to renew the series for a second installment in October 2024. The last episode left fans sitting on the edge of their seats. Viewers and crew alike were thrilled to learn that Noah (Brody) and Joanne's (Bell) love story wouldn't leave off on a cliffhanger.
'The incredible cast, crew, producers and executives all made this into the show it is today, and to experience viewers' reactions to this series now that it's out in the world has been more than anything I could have dreamed," said Erin Foster in a statement at the time. "I'm so lucky to be able to continue this story ... Justice for healthy relationships being the most romantic!"
Nobody Wants This is inspired by Erin's real-life love story with her husband, Simon Tikham. The series follows Noah, a newly single rabbi, and Joanne, an agnostic dating podcaster, as they attempt to make their relationship work despite major cultural differences.
In addition to Brody and Bell, most of the show's primary cast is set to return. Lupe and Simons will reprise their roles as the leads' siblings Morgan and Sasha, respectively. Other returning cast members include Tohn as Esther and Sherry Cola as Ashley.
Brody's real-life wife, Leighton Meester, is also a guest star in the second season of Nobody Wants This. She will play Abby, Joanne's middle school nemesis, who's become an "Instagram mommy influencer," per Variety.
Bottoms star Miles Fowler will play Lenny, Noah's Matzah Ballers teammate, who is set up with Joanne's sister, Morgan.

After announcing a restock and new batch of products — which she teased as 'delicious surprises' — on Monday, June 16, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, celebrated the launch day arriving with a new photo on Instagram on Friday, June 20. In the photo, Meghan could be seen smiling as she swung on a swing in a picturesque outdoor area. 'No more sleeps!' the post on As ever's Instagram was captioned. Meghan also reposted the photo on her Instagram Stories with the same caption and a countdown timer to the products going live with the heading 'As Ever Summer Drop.' The timer showed that the products were due to drop in seven hours, 56 minutes and 34 seconds at the time of Meghan's post. While announcing the summer drop on June 16, Meghan wrote on her Instagram Stories, 'So much love has gone into I can't wait to share it with you this Friday, June 20th!' The words accompanied a post from As ever's Instagram account and showed a stack of six pancakes beautifully plated outdoors, topped with raspberries and drizzled with what appeared to be honey. 'Oh yes, honey…sweet things await. Mark your calendars for June 20 at 8 a.m. PT - we're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss! 🍯,' read the caption.

Melania shows President Trump the contempt he deserves. What's her secret?
I want to know: What is Melania Trump's secret? The first lady seems to be the only one who can do anything she wants regarding President Donald Trump and suffer no ill will from him. She comes and goes out of Trump's life on her own schedule most of the time – and she shows complete and total disdain for the president when she is with him. She attended the disaster of a military parade with Trump June 14 looking as bored as one could possibly look – and then skipped the G7 conference, leaving him wandering around looking like a lost puppy. Most spouses of other heads of state attended. Others who have embarrassed the president publicly this way have disappeared, never to be seen again. What power does she hold over him? If she could bottle it, she could make millions. Felton Marans, Lakewood Ranch This article originally appeared on Sarasota Herald-Tribune: Melania shows President Trump little respect. Good for her. | Letter

'KPop Demon Hunters' cast says animation makes them 'way cooler'
1 of 5 | Huntrix are secretly demon hunters in "KPop Demon Hunters," on Netflix Friday. Photo courtesy of Netflix LOS ANGELES, June 20 (UPI) -- The cast of KPop Demon Hunters, premiering Friday on Netflix, say the animated film added impressive attributes to their characters. Arden Cho, May Hong and Ji-young Yoo voice a trio of K-pop stars who battle demons with their music. Cho, Hong and Yoo provide the speaking voices for Rumi, Mira and Zoey. In a recent Zoom interview with UPI, the actors marveled at recording artists EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI performing the film's songs combined with the animators creating their dance and battle scenes. "It's such a pleasure to see the musical element of it and just what we built together come together," Hong said. "Then you're like whoa, I'm even cooler than I thought." Cho agreed she felt "way cooler." "I feel like that's the magic of animation," she added. "There's just so many talented artists working together to create something and you're just mind blown when it comes out." Director Chris Appelhans said he and co-director Maggie Kang discovered animated choreography had to be "a little dialed up beyond real life" to make an impact in animation. "It really took a lot of analysis to be like, let's make this snappy move even snappier, this straight line perfectly straight, this S curve really pushed," Appelhans said. "That took us down a route to really having to understand the girls as performers, what their strengths were, how they moved differently." The three women make up the girl group Huntrix. Their latest enemies disguise themselves as a boy band to challenge Huntrix on the music charts. Huntrix even writes a diss track called "Takedown," which seems out of character for them. Cho said the lyrics betray how tough Huntrix thinks they are. "I feel like it's so cute," Cho said. "We can want to take them down. How dare those boys be so cute and try to steal the souls of our fans? How dare they? So we'll take 'em down." With a demon boy band creating tension, it becomes harder and harder for Rumi to hide a secret she's been keeping her whole life: she is actually half demon. To Cho, this is a good metaphor for anything young people may think they have to hide. "I feel like we, in different chapters of our life, all experience something that we might be ashamed of or embarrassed about or confused about," Cho said. "I love that this movie is really about her being true to herself and not being scared of who she is and accepting all of Rumi." Mira is the most aggressive of the trio. Hong feels, however, that Mira channels her anger in constructive ways. "I think she needs it, actually," Hong said. "I think that the energy that she has and brings to the table is fierce, not just purely angry." Zoey often tries to hold Huntrix together as a people pleaser. "Was it obvious?" Yoo joked. "Yes, she is but we love her. She'll get over it eventually, hopefully." Each role was recorded separately, with directors Appelhans and Kang playing the other two demon hunters in the studio. Cho, Hong and Yoo knew each other prior to the film through the industry, and now have a group chat together. They also confirmed their K-pop fandom, with Yoo asserting she has been in the BTS Army since 2015. Huntrix sings English-language songs, but Kang was proud to incorporate a few Korean words in the lyrics. "Ultimately, our songs had to carry so much story that a lot of the lyrics were too important to not be understood," Kang said. "We didn't want to go the route of subtitling things for the songs. So a lot of it is in English but we did manage to sneak some Korean in there." Reflecting on Huntrix's songs in the film, Yoo acknowledged that they have more success with the more positive song "What It Sounds Like" following "Takedown." "Choosing kindness will always take you farther than choosing to make someone feel smaller for no reason," Yoo said. "So I think that's a great message, especially for young people to learn how to handle conflict."
