The cast and crew of Nobody Wants This had a big reason to celebrate at the 2025 Golden Globes.
After receiving three nominations including Best Television Series — Musical or Comedy, Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series — Comedy and Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series — Comedy, Kristen Bell, Adam Brody. Bell, 44, was first up in the ceremony, ultimately losing the award to Jean Smart for her performance on Hacks. Brody, 44, also went home empty handed, with Jeremy Allen White taking the win for The Bear.
The show’s third and final category, Best Television Series — Musical or Comedy, was also a loss, with Hacks coming out on top.
This marked Brody’s first Golden Globe nomination in his career. (Bell was previously nominated for her work on the NBC comedy The Good Place.)

When the nominations were first announced in December 2024, Brody said he was “ecstatic” to be recognized.
“It’s an absolute joy to work with this phenomenal group of people on something we all care about so much,” he said in a statement. “And it’s beyond gratifying to see that audiences are enjoying it as much as we are!”
Nobody Wants This, which premiered in September 2024, debuted with a 10-episode order, tracking the unlikely romance between sex podcaster Joanne (Bell) and “hot” rabbi Noah (Brody).
Just weeks after the show’s debut, Netflix ordered a second season. Show creator Erin Foster also confirmed she was hard at work on new episodes.
“I think we’ll pick up mostly more or less where we left off,” Foster, 42, told The Hollywood Reporter in an October 2024 interview. “Not the same night, but the same moment of, ‘So, what now? How do we do this?’”
As viewers will recall, the first season ended with Noah appearing to give up his opportunity to be head rabbi at his synagogue in order to be with Joanne, who said she was not ready to convert to Judaism.

Jackie Tohn, who plays Esther Roklov, expressed confidence that fans will continue to see Noah and Joanne’s relationship unfold.
“I don’t think it’s going to be easy, but I think that they are going to have a relationship,” Tohn, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2024. “I think since season 1 is so dreamland, they’re probably going to get into more real relationship-y stuff. I mean, they did do it a little bit with getting the ‘ick’ and her just being like, ‘This can’t work. What are we doing?’ But maybe just more relationship-y things. I mean, we’ll see.”
Nobody Wants This is streaming now on Netflix. A premiere date for season 2 has yet to be announced.
