The early renewal is no surprise, given the show’s strong debut on Netflix. In just two weeks, the series has already amassed 26.2 million views, making it one of the best-performing comedy series on Netflix in 2024.
In total, the show spent six weeks in the global top 10, picking up 215.40 million hours watched, which equates to 48.70 million views. In addition, the show was featured in the weekly top 10s in 89 countries. Here’s how its first two weeks stack up against other premieres:
What can we expect from Nobody Wants This Season 2?
Joanne ended her relationship with Noah, realizing that his faith plays a crucial role in his family and community. Given the short time they had been together, she wasn’t ready to commit to converting to Judaism.
As Noah chased after Joanne’s bus shuttle, he made a bold declaration—he had chosen her over his religion. While this was a touching moment, it sets up major consequences for Season 2.

What does Noah’s decision mean?
If Noah truly chooses Joanne over his faith, it means he won’t be able to accept the head rabbi position at his temple. He may even step down from his role entirely. While it’s unlikely he’ll abandon his faith completely, his spiritual journey will take a new direction.
How will Noah’s family react?
Noah’s mother, who already dislikes Joanne, will be furious. His father and older brother, Sasha, might publicly support their mother but privately accept Noah’s choice as long as he’s happy.
Bina, Esther, and Noah’s ex, Rebecca, may try harder to break the couple up. Esther, already frustrated with her husband for befriending Joanne’s sister, Morgan, may suspect an affair.

Will Noah and Joanne be happy?
Noah has dedicated his life to his faith and career. Season 2 will likely explore his struggles with unemployment and his search for a new purpose. Since he comes from a wealthy family, financial struggles might not be an issue—but philosophical ones certainly will be.
Joanne will initially be overjoyed, but as reality sets in, she may start to question whether she forced Noah into a decision that could ruin his life. Their love has grown quickly, but Season 2 will test their relationship like never before. Can they make it through?
