Netflix has renewed “Nobody Wants This” for a fourth season, the streamer announced on Friday, November 6, 2026. The news arrived just over two weeks after Season 3 of the Kristen Bell and Adam Brody romantic comedy premiered on October 22.
What We Know
The renewal keeps one of Netflix’s most talked-about comedies on track. Bell returns as Joanne, an agnostic podcaster, and Brody as Noah, the rabbi whose relationship with her drives the series. Season 4 will film in Los Angeles, according to TheWrap.
The decision follows a strong start for Season 3. The new episodes pulled in 6.2 million views in their opening frame, placing the show at No. 2 among Netflix’s English-language series that week, figures reported by both TheWrap and What’s on Netflix. TheWrap noted that this was the biggest opening week of the year for a returning comedy, and that the season added another 7.2 million views in its second week.
The show’s co-showrunners, Erin Foster, Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, celebrated in a joint statement, saying: “We are so happy and thrilled to do another season of our favorite show on television.”
Netflix’s comedy chief sounded just as enthusiastic. “Great love stories never go out of style, and ‘Nobody Wants This’ has become a true cultural phenomenon,” said Tracey Pakosta, the streamer’s vice president of U.S. comedy series, as quoted by Variety.
Background
Created by Erin Foster, “Nobody Wants This” debuted in 2024 and quickly became a word-of-mouth hit, built on the push and pull between Joanne’s outspoken lifestyle and Noah’s commitment to his faith and community. Variety reported that Season 1 spent eight weeks on Netflix’s global English-language top 10, while Season 2 logged four.
The ensemble includes Justine Lupe as Morgan, Joanne’s sister; Timothy Simons as Sasha, Noah’s brother; and Jackie Tohn as Esther. Tovah Feldshuh, Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitchcock, Paul Ben-Victor, Andrew Rannells, Sarah Silverman, Shiloh Bearman and Sherry Cola round out the cast.
The series comes from 20th Television. Kristen Bell is also an executive producer, alongside Erin and Sara Foster, Nora Silver, Steven Levitan, Danielle Stokdyk, and Jeff Morton and Oly Obst for 3 Arts.
For Bell, the show has added another lasting role to a career that already includes “Veronica Mars,” “The Good Place” and “Frozen.” Read more in our Kristen Bell biography. Brody, meanwhile, has enjoyed a career resurgence thanks to Noah, two decades after “The O.C.” made him a household name; his wife is actress Leighton Meester.
What’s Next
Netflix has not announced a production start or a premiere date for Season 4. The first three seasons each arrived in the fall, but the streamer has not confirmed whether the new episodes will follow the same schedule. Plot details also remain under wraps, so fans will have to wait to learn where Joanne and Noah’s story heads next.
