Nobody Wants This Creator Erin Foster Addresses Possibility of Season 2

Everybody does, in fact, want this.
And by this we mean a second season of Netflix’s new hit rom-com series Nobody Wants This, created by Erin Foster and starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody as budding couple Joanne and Noah who must navigate Noah’s calling as a rabbi against Joanne’s gentile identity. (And yes, this article contains spoilers.)
But after the season one finale saw Noah seemingly forgo his spiritual calling to pursue a relationship with Joanne—with still enough uncertainty to leave viewers guessing—fans are clamoring for more. And Erin is hoping to deliver.
“We’re getting a really positive response,” she told IndieWire ahead of the show’s Sept. 26 premiere. “And so I think the conversations have definitely started to happen about a potential season two.”
The 42-year-old also hinted at what a second installment might include.
“The story in season one unfolds really slowly,” Erin explained. “So I think if there is a season two I would want to just kind of pick up where we leave off and continue to take it slow, because I don’t want us to get too far ahead of ourselves.”
As she quipped, “I want my show to be on the air as long as possible!”
Erin—who based the show loosely on her IRL relationship with husband Simon Tikhman, for whom she converted to Judaism—also provided insight into the decision-making process for certain elements of the show.
Including why she addressed the question of Joanne converting to Judaism, despite the network’s initial feelings that it would bring the show’s story to a standstill.
“I hate when there’s a TV show that you’re watching as a viewer, and you’re [thinking], ‘Just ask the question!'” she explained. “Like, ‘This is all very solvable; just ask her to convert’ and then every story goes away. I hate that. And so if people watching it think, ‘This is a really easy solve, just convert to Judaism,’ I wanted to address that, because it’s not the easy solve. You don’t just say, ‘Oh, well, I’ll just convert!’”
As she explained, becoming a rabbi’s girlfriend or wife comes with significant life implications.
“You have to also remember that Joanne is someone who’s not going to fake it, so if she doesn’t believe it, she’s not going to live it,” she noted. “I know that when I signed up to convert, I said to my fiancé at the time, ‘If I haven’t bought into this thing by the end, then I am not gonna do it, because it has to feel right.’ And that’s who Joanne is.”
The O.C. alum—who is the daughter of music producer David Foster—also explained her decision to give Noah and Joanne an ending that is happily promising.
“I fully understand some people who make the artistic choice to not give the audience what they want, but I don’t think this is that kind of show,” she shared. “I think this is the kind of show where you want to get the thing you’re there to get and I wanted to give people that moment of, ‘We choose each other, but everyone knows we’re giving up a lot to choose each other, so how are we gonna do it?’”
As she put it, “That, to me, felt like a realistic but still satisfying ending still with conflict, so you have somewhere to go.”
