After the show proved to be one of the year’s breakout hits, Adam Brody has revealed Nobody Wants This season 2’s filming start month. The comedy series, co-created by Kristen Bell and Erin Foster, explores the unexpected romance between an agnostic sex podcaster (Bell) and a recently single rabbi (Brody), exploring sincere challenges they face as they navigate their clashing lifestyles and intrusive families. After Nobody Wants This scored rave reviews from critics, Netflix renewed it for season 2, which was reported to begin filming in January 2025.
During a recent interview with Variety, Brody offered some clarification on Nobody Wants This season 2’s filming schedule. He not only stated that the show will actually begin filming in February 2025, but also indicated that Netflix already has a release window in mind for the next chapter of their hit rom-com show. Check out what Brody said about the filming schedule:
Hopefully, it won’t be so bad. We’re shooting in February, and hopefully they’ll have it out by September next year.
What This Means For Nobody Wants This Season 2’s Timely Return
This shift in their filming schedule may provide the production team with more time between the renewal announcement and the start of filming. Nobody Wants This season 1’s development took roughly a year and a half from its initial announcement to its premiere, though it was recently revealed in a lengthy report that behind-the-scenes conflicts partially attributed to this lengthy turnaround time. This even included a shut-down in filming for a few days and 30 Rock‘s Jack Burditt being brought onboard in the hopes of smoothing things out.
With neither original creator/showrunner Erin Foster nor Craig DiGregorio returning for Nobody Wants This season 2, instead being replaced by Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, the show may find itself running on a more efficient schedule. Considering the early reports indicated season 2 would begin filming in January, but without a specific date, Brody’s new update could still indicate the show’s on schedule for its return, as the sources behind the prior reporting may have been a week or two off in what they knew.

8 Biggest Questions Nobody Wants This Season 2 Needs To Answer
Netflix’s Nobody Wants This season 1 keeps many questions about Noah and Joanne’s relationship open-ended, allowing the story to continue in season 2.
Netflix’s production agenda for Nobody Wants This also aligns with broader trends seen across their own programming, where delays between seasons have been common. Other Netflix shows such as Stranger Things or The Crown have experienced longer waits for release, allowing for more extensive production planning. However, with Brody indicating the show could return within a year after its original premiere, Nobody Wants This may finally break Netflix’s unfortunate streak of multi-year gaps.
Our Take On Nobody Wants This’ Filming Schedule Shift
While the shift in filming from January to February may seem like a setback, it’s a necessary move to ensure Nobody Wants This season 2 continues the show’s high-quality storytelling. The allotted time will allow for more refined scripts and smoother production, potentially benefiting the show’s overall pacing and character development. This decision suggests that the creative team is prioritizing quality over production speed, and with the added time, the wait for season 2 should result in a more polished and well-rounded outcome.
