The much-awaited rom-com drama, Nobody Wants This Season 2, premiered on Netflix on October 23. Following the cliffhanger ending of Season 1, where Joanne confessed that she did not want to change her religion for marriage, Season 2 shows Noah and Joanne’s relentless pursuit of staying together despite their stark differences. Season 2 of the famed rom-com takes a sharp turn when Noah lies to his family and community about Joanne’s plans of conversion, sparking tension between the couple which forms the emotional core of the season. What Happened in Nobody Wants This Season 2 Finale? In the second season, Kristen Bell and Adam Brody reprised their roles of Joanne and Noah from Season 1. In the finale fans witness Joanne does not fully convert to Judaism but begins to embrace the traditions on her own terms. She is seen celebrating Shabbat, enjoying challah and kugel, as well as engaging in other cultural rituals. She discovers that faith can grow from lived experiences rather than labels after her conversation with Esther. By the end of season 2, Joanne starts her conversion process independently without actually converting to another religion. The season also highlights the challenges faced by Noah and Joanne. When she wants to move in with Noah, he hesitates and states that he will not live with someone who is not Jewish, leading to a painful breakup. Moments later, Noah realises his mistake and runs after Joanne, revealing her faith can never change what he feels for her. Noah’s mature declaration provides a bittersweet resolution to his ongoing differences with Joanne. Will There Be A Season 3? The finale of Season 2 manages to set up a strong plot for Season 3. Joanne’s spiritual journey begins, and Noah chooses love over religion, which leads to professional struggles as Noah fails to fit in at Temple Ahava, a reform synagogue. These unsolved pieces make an interesting plot for season 3, suggesting that the upcoming season will explore love, faith, evolution, and identity. Given the massive popularity and success of Season 2, fans continue to hope that the series will get a new season. Netflix has not yet officially renewed the series for a third season.
