Netflix is keeping a good thing going. The streamer renewed Nobody Wants This for a third season just 12 days after Season 2 dropped, cementing the Kristen Bell/Adam Brody rom-com as one of its most reliable performers.
Season 2 pulled in 18M views globally in its first 11 days, topping Netflix’s English TV chart for two straight weeks and lifting Season 1 back into the Top 10. That’s a dip from Season 1’s debut (26.2M), but still a runaway win for a half-hour comedy — a genre that has struggled to break through on streamers. It also topped U.S. streaming viewership that week with 21.9M hours, beating out longer prestige titles.
Now, Season 3 is expected to accelerate things as Bell’s Joanne leans into converting to Judaism, setting up new relationship stakes and (likely) more family chaos. Showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan are staying on, the cast is returning, and filming will remain in Los Angeles.
The bigger play: Netflix has been vocal about wanting “sticky” comedies that drive returning viewership, a la the Friends/New Girl model. Nobody Wants This is making its way into that conversation.
