What happens in Nobody Wants This?
The show centers on Joanne (Kristen Bell), an outspoken, agnostic podcast host who unexpectedly falls in love with Noah (Adam Brody), a thoughtful rabbi she meets at a dinner party. Their connection is electric — but also complicated. As they navigate love across faith lines, they find themselves asking: can chemistry overcome cultural difference? And how far should one go for the person they love?
“The question of conversion is such a large and heavy one,” Bell explains. “Noah cannot be with Joanne unless she converts but doesn’t want her to do it for him. Joanne doesn’t want to change for a guy but wants to be with Noah. So there’s an incredible amount of friction.” That emotional tension runs through every episode, turning the couple’s story into a funny, vulnerable exploration of identity and compromise.
Co-showrunner Bruce Eric Kaplan adds, “We got to know Noah and Joanne very well in Season 1, and while we’re continuing to go deeper with them, Season 2 is an opportunity to get to know all the other regulars even more.” Indeed, the series expands its world beyond the central couple, giving more space to the eccentric, lovable supporting cast whose lives orbit theirs.
By the end of Season 2, Joanne and Noah face higher emotional stakes than ever — setting up Season 3 to dig even deeper into love, faith, and what it really means to belong without losing yourself.

Is Nobody Wants This based on a true story?
The series is scripted fiction inspired by creator Erin Foster’s observations about love, religion, and modern dating. While not a direct retelling of her life, it draws from real conversations and cultural dynamics she’s explored in her comedy and podcasting work. Foster has said the goal was to “find the humor in discomfort” — turning personal confusion into a story about connection, faith, and self-awareness that feels emotionally authentic even when it’s fictional.
