Nobody Wants This… Or Do They? Netflix’s Spiciest Rom-Com Is Turning Heads (and Breaking Rules)

When an agnostic sex podcaster falls for a rabbi, chaos—and challah—ensue. Netflix’s Nobody Wants This is the rom-com nobody saw coming... but everyone’s talking about. Is this the messiest love story of the year? Probably. But you’ll have to watch to believe it. #NowTrending

Move over, Hallmark — Netflix’s latest rom-com Nobody Wants This is here, and it’s basically what would happen if Nora Ephron and Larry David co-parented a TV show.

Let’s set the scene: A raunchy, agnostic sex podcaster (yes, really) named Joanne falls for an earnest, newly single rabbi named Noah. Cue a hilarious interfaith whirlwind of meet-cutes, passive-aggressive Shabbat dinners, boundary-violating parents, and… honestly? Some of the best “should-we-or-shouldn’t-we” romantic tension we’ve seen since Fleabag side-eyed the Hot Priest.


Yep. It’s that good.


What Is Nobody Wants This?

This Netflix original series, created by Erin Foster (yes, that Erin Foster — Hollywood royalty and comedy genius), exploded onto the scene in 2024 and just dropped its second season in October 2025. If you’re one of the three people who haven’t binge-watched it yet, you’ve got time to catch up before spoilers hit TikTok.


The show is a modern romantic comedy that pokes fun at religion, dating, families, podcast culture, and basically everything awkward about trying to love someone who makes no sense on paper but just gets you anyway.


Kristen Bell + Adam Brody = Rom-Com Gold

Seriously, who knew these two would have this much chemistry?

  • Kristen Bell plays Joanne, your favorite inappropriate over-sharer with a heart of gold (and a lot of questions about God).

  • Adam Brody (yes, The O.C.'s Seth Cohen all grown up) plays Noah, a rabbi trying to find peace, purpose, and maybe a girlfriend who doesn’t make money talking about threesomes.

It’s like watching your favorite sitcom and favorite indie drama have a beautifully messy baby. With challah.


What Makes It So Watchable?

  • Interfaith romance? Check.

  • Messy families? Oh, absolutely.

  • Sharp, self-aware dialogue that makes you laugh and cringe at the same time? Double check.

  • 30-minute episodes that are binge-perfect? Bless.

  • Guest stars like Leighton Meester, Seth Rogen, and Kate Berlant? You had us at Seth.

But what really makes Nobody Wants This stand out is how it’s not afraid to dig deep. Yes, it’s funny. But it also wrestles with identity, faith, compromise, and what it means to be in a relationship that shouldn’t work… but kinda does.


Season 2: Bigger, Funnier, Riskier

Season 2 ups the stakes. The families get messier, the podcast gets bigger, and the couple? Let’s just say therapy is definitely a third character now.


Also: More Jewish jokes. More feminist hot takes. And somehow even more awkward seders. #blessed


Why Is Everyone Talking About It?

Because it’s real. And relatable. And just weird enough to feel fresh. The show's dialogue practically begs to be screencapped for your Instagram story. Every scene is a vibe. It’s one of those shows that makes you feel seen—even if you're not a rabbi or a podcast host.


And trust me: TikTok is OBSESSED. Search the hashtag #NobodyWantsThisNetflix and watch as millennials and Gen Z trauma-bond over their interfaith dating lives.


Ready to fall for the rom-com nobody expected? Stream Nobody Wants This now on Netflix — where awkward meets adorable, and chaos is just part of the charm. Watch now and see what everyone’s not shutting up about.
