Warning: Spoilers ahead for the season one finale of “Nobody Wants This.”

Netflix’s rom-com series “Nobody Wants This” was a major hit with viewers when it premiered in September.

The series topped Netflix’s television list just days after its premiere. Based on its social-media reception, it quickly became apparent that, actually, a lot of us want this. Now, Netflix is delivering with a second season on the way.

Created by Erin Foster, the show stars Kristen Bell as Joanne, a woman who hosts a sex and relationships podcast with her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe). She meets Noah, a young rabbi played by Adam Brody, at a party, and they immediately hit it off.

The series is charming from the get-go, mostly by virtue of Bell and Brody’s easy, ineffable chemistry. And with 20- to 30-minute episodes that go down easy (plus a cliffhanger ending), it’s hard to not immediately want more.

Here’s everything we know about “Nobody Wants This” season two, including when it’s hitting Netflix.

‘Nobody Wants This’ season 2 is officially a go

Netflix announced in October that it had renewed “Nobody Wants This” for a second season. Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, both of whom worked on the HBO series “Girls,” joined as showrunners and executive producers, and Nora Silver (“Deli Boys”) also came on board as an EP.

Series creator Erin Foster told IndieWire prior to the renewal that she had already started thinking about season two.

“We’re getting a really positive response,” she told IndieWire ahead of the show’s premiere. “And so I think the conversations have definitely started to happen about a potential season two.'”

Foster added: “The story in season one unfolds really slowly. And so I think if there is a season two I would want to just kind of pick up where we leave off and continue to take it slow, because I don’t want us to get too far ahead of ourselves. I mean, I want my show to be on the air as long as possible!”

‘Nobody Wants This’ season 2 will likely come out in late 2025

In November, Bell and Brody told Variety that filming for season two will begin in February 2025.

“Hopefully they’ll have it out by September next year,” Brody said.

Kristen Bell and Adam Brody will reprise their roles in ‘Nobody Wants This’ season 2

Given that Joanne and Noah’s story will continue in season two, both Bell and Brody will be back as well. Foster told The Hollywood Reporter in October that Bell and Lupe had visited the season two writers’ room, so Lupe’s character Morgan is presumably back as well.

Foster also said that Esther, Noah’s sister-in-law played by Jackie Tohn, would be a season two regular. From Foster’s comments, we’ll see Noah’s brother Sasha (Timothy Simons) return as well.

‘Nobody Wants This’ season 1 ends with a big cliffhanger

At the end of season one, Joanne backs away from her relationship with Noah. After realizing that she’s not ready to convert to Judaism, she tells him that she doesn’t want him to have to choose between her and his life and career. In the end, Noah chooses her — putting his prospective head rabbi job at risk.

It’s a cliffhanger ending that leaves plenty on the table for a second season. Foster told Vulture that season two would potentially dive into the process of converting to Judaism, something that she herself did before marrying her husband.

“I am used to writing about all the things that are going wrong in my life,” she told Vulture. “My manager always says that sometimes when you’re succeeding, it feels like you’re being beaten to death with your dreams.”

“Nobody Wants This” is streaming on Netflix.
