“Nobody Wants This” is getting a second season with “Girls” showrunners

“Nobody Wants This” is getting a second season with “Girls” showrunners

Nobody wants that — the widely-watched Netflix rom-com that explored the question, “If a hot rabbi and Kristen Bell walked into a bar, would they eventually make out?” (thankfully, yes) — has been renewed for a second season.

With the extension, Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, added a twist: two alumni of GirlAuthor Bruce Eric Kaplan and Jenni Konner, who was co-showrunner of the HBO comedy alongside Lena Dunham, are also there Nobody wants that as new showrunners and executive producers. (Series creators Erin Foster and Craig DiGregorio were showrunners for the first season; according to Wrap, Foster will remain on board as an executive producer.) The two have already set up a writers' room for season two and are starting to work on new episodes started , which will presumably explore what happens to the relationship between Noah (Adam Brody, aka the hot rabbi) and Joanne (petite shiksa goddess Kristen Bell) – and will hopefully also contain more scenes in which Timothy Simons gets high in front of his teenage daughter.

Given Konner and Kaplan's involvement, that will be the case Nobody wants that adopt more of a Girl Mood? Will Bell start saying things like “I think I could be the podcaster of my generation.” Or at least a podcaster of a generation”? I would say so Nobody wants that already has some Girls ingredients in its recipe and that Konner and Kaplan's job is simply to meet the series where it already lives.

All of the WAGs who are friends with Esther (Jackie Tohn) and Noah's ex-girlfriend Rebecca (Emily Arlook) are either Marnies (privileged, pretty), Shoshannas (lovably neurotic), or a combination of both. Joanne and her sister and podcast co-host Morgan (Justine Lupe) are mostly Jessas – free-spirited, pretty blondes – but Joanne also has a bit of Hannah Horvath in her in that she's kind of an uninhibited mess (but in a less annoying way).

Simon's Sasha, Noah's brother, is the Adam of Nobody wants that: extremely tall and seemingly strange until you get to know him and then he becomes your favorite reserved character in the series. As for Noah, he doesn't have any real clarity yet Girl Counterpart, but I'm confident there's a video of him singing “What I Am” that's buried in his past and somehow comes to light in the second season. Konner, Kaplan and the rest NWT Writers' Room: Please do it this way.
