There’s something undeniably irresistible about rom-coms that just hits the sweet spot of binge-worthy content. You sit down for one episode, thinking, “I’ll just watch this while I eat,” and next thing you know, it’s 3 am, your ice cream’s melted, and you’re unhealthily invested in the romantic entanglements of fictional characters. 

No shame here, though! In a world that often feels too serious, these stories provide the perfect blend of laughter, swoon-worthy moments, and good old-fashioned escapism.

And when Netflix rolled out its latest rom-com series, Nobody Wants This, it was like the universe was answering our collective cry for a fresh, hilarious, and heartwarming show. 

I mean, what’s not to love about a newly single rabbi and an agnostic s*x podcaster falling in love against all odds? It’s basically a match made in rom-com heaven, starring Adam Brody and Kristen Bell, who are absolute dynamite together on screen. 

Their chemistry is electric, the laughs are plenty, and the show’s ability to balance wit with heart has left fans swooning—but let’s not pretend we were satisfied with just one season. 

The final episode ended on a cliffhanger, with Noah seemingly ready to make a life-altering decision to stay with Joanne. So, viewers were left frantically searching for answers—wondering what’s next for the unconventional couple. 

Well, Netflix has come to the rescue: Nobody Wants This has officially been renewed for a second season!
