Netflix has officially set the release date for the third season of its hit romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This. Fans can mark their calendars for October 22, 2026, when all 10 episodes of the new season will drop simultaneously on the streaming platform. Created by Erin Foster, the series returns with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody reprising their fan-favorite roles as podcaster Joanne and rabbi Noah.
Following the major turning points of the second season-which concluded with Joanne deciding to convert to Judaism and the couple recommitting to each other-Season 3 shifts its narrative focus. Instead of relying on the classic “will-they-won’t-they” tension, the upcoming episodes explore the messy, humorous, and heartwarming realities of domestic life as Joanne and Noah move in together.
What to Expect in Season 3
According to co-showrunner and executive producer Bruce Eric Kaplan, the creative team wanted to give Joanne and Noah a moment to settle down and have fun. Rather than questioning whether the pair will stay together, the new season tackles the next stages of their commitment, navigating everyday habits, family expectations, and the exciting milestones of building a shared life.
However, a stable relationship does not mean a conflict-free one. The couple will still face the everyday adjustments of sharing a roof while balancing their distinct backgrounds and cultural traditions. Meanwhile, the supporting characters face significant life changes of their own:
- Sasha and Esther: Following their separation at the end of Season 2, Sasha (Timothy Simons) and Esther (Jackie Tohn) find themselves thrust back into the modern dating world in Los Angeles, stumbling through the awkwardness and unexpected thrills of meeting new people.
- Morgan: Joanne’s sister and podcast partner (Justine Lupe) throws herself into new career opportunities as her professional ambitions skyrocket, bringing a fresh sense of dynamic competition between the siblings.
- The Sasha and Morgan Dynamic: The season hints at an unspoken tension and deeper connection building between Sasha and Morgan, adding a complex new layer to their familiar interactions.
New Cast Members Join the Ensemble
Season 3 welcomes a wave of exciting new recurring characters and guest stars into Joanne and Noah’s orbit. Sarah Silverman joins the cast as Rabbi Eden, the warm and quirky teacher of Joanne’s Intro to Judaism class. Andrew Rannells plays Sebastien, an opinionated and sharp classmate who acts as a foil for Joanne. Keyla Monterroso Mejia also joins the class as Amber, a single woman determined to find a Jewish husband.
Additional guest stars appearing in the third installment include Avan Jogia, Poorna Jagannathan, Sadie Sandler, Stephanie Koenig, and Steven Weber. Notably, series creator Erin Foster will also make an onscreen cameo appearance as Nicole, a chaotic, chronically single woman reflecting an alternate path Joanne might have taken.
