Loosely based on Erin Foster 's life, the Netflix series stars Kristen Bell as a relationship podcaster who falls in love with a rabbi, Noah ( Adam Brody ). On paper, this premise doesn't stand out, but thanks to Bell and Brody's chemistry and an emphasis on healthy communication, Nobody Wants This became a breakout hit . It's also one of the few Netflix shows that has maintained a consistent release schedule, with a new season releasing every year since its debut two years ago.
Across two seasons, audiences have fallen in love with Noah and Joanne as they fell in love with each other. Although Season 2's plot stagnated in places, Brody and Bell's strengths kept it afloat. Now entering its third season, the question becomes: are these characters strong enough to keep their relationship going? Not only is Nobody Wants This Season 3 a massive step forward for the show, but every new milestone is also earned from the foundation built on its previous two seasons .
Picking up from where Season 2 left off, Noah and Joanne have recommitted to each other and have decided to take the next big step: moving in together . While this includes interference from both their parents, it also means Joanne starts attending classes at the synagogue to convert to Judaism. Meanwhile, Sasha ( Timothy Simons ) and Esther ( Jackie Tohn ) are officially back on the dating scene since their split, and Morgan ( Justine Lupe ) starts leveling up her own career thanks to a viral catchphrase.
Where Season 2 felt like it was spinning its wheels, Season 3 wastes no time . Noah and Joanne, and, by extension, the show, are taking this commitment seriously, embracing new chapters and facing the hurdles of their relationship head-on. Joanne's conversion isn't nebulous anymore; she's in class, with Andrew Rannells cast as her new frenemy. While her time in Judaism class is less focused on religion and more about advancing the plot, Joanne's presence there represents momentum she lacked last season. Alongside Rannells, Nobody Wants This Season 3 has a few surprise cameos up its sleeve, too, but they don't distract from the core characters and their crucial emotional journeys.
