Press Play: What’s ‘Nobody Wants This’ Season 2 about?
Nobody Wants This Season 2 has secured the No. 1 and 2 spots on Netflix for three consecutive weeks since its release on Oct. 23.
This romance-focused show leans on the relationship dynamic between Joanne, an agnostic sex podcaster, and Noah, a rabbi. Along the way, they face their own struggles while learning to understand and love one another.
Seeing how two people can learn to appreciate one another, despite their major differences, is what makes the show so captivating.
Season 2 explores how their “relationship deepens” through the ups and downs of each episode.
Cast
What enticed me to start Season 1 back in 2024 was the cast. Kristen Bell, who plays Joanne in the series, is a multi-talented actress and voice actress. She starred in The Good Place, narrated Gossip Girl, and appeared one of my favourite movies, You Again (now thinking of it, I need to rewatch that). She voiced Anna in Disney’s Frozen, so even your kids will recognize her voice.
Adam Brody plays the boyfriend, Noah. At first I didn’t recognize him, but I just found out that he’s the antagonist band member, Nikolai Wolf, from Jennifer’s Body…I know, right? He also starred in Gilmore Girls and The O.C.
Music
What makes this season special is that there’s a dedicated soundtrack from various artists, including Selena Gomez, Teddy Swims, Alessia Cara, FINNEAS, Kacey Musgraves and more.
Here’s the full list of songs from the series soundtrack in order:
1. “In the Dark”: Selena Gomez
2. “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming”: Teddy Swims
3. “who’s your boyfriend – Acoustic”: Royel Otis
4. “Heart Letting Go”: Chris Stapleton

My favourite song from it all is Alessia Cara’s track “My House.” The instant I heard it, I had to pause the show and add it to my playlist…it’s that good. Give it a listen!
So if you’re looking for a cozy romance show with an awesome original soundtrack, add Nobody Wants This to your Netflix watch list.
