On October 23, Netflix’s hit romantic comedy/drama Nobody Wants This is coming back for its second season.
Last year, Kristen Bell and Adam Brody charmed fans as an unlikely couple facing a challenging new relationship.
It’s great that Netflix rushed season into production with 10 new episodes, but what are you going to watch when you finish those?
Fortunately, Watch With Us has already laid out our picks for three romantic TV shows to watch if you like Nobody Wants This.
‘Nobody Wants This’ Season 2 Premiere Date Set at Netflix
‘Love’ (2016 – 2018)
Love was very similar to Nobody Wants This, although this series never reached the same heights. The mismatched pair on this series are would-be screenwriter Gus Cruikshank (Paul Rust) and radio show producer Mickey Dobbs (Gillian Jacobs). Gus is a far nerdier guy than Mickey normally goes for, and these two don’t immediately fall into a relationship.
But over time, Gus and Mickey bring out the best and the worst in each other as they try to make their connection work. Love isn’t easy on them, and they go through a lot during the show’s three-season run. Yet they’re so funny together that we’d keep watching the series if there were more episodes to enjoy.
Love is streaming on Netflix.
‘You’re the Worst’ (2014 – 2019)
FX’s You’re the Worst is kind of the anti-romance romantic show, and it gets a lot of humor out of that. The series revolves around a writer, Jimmy Shive-Overly (Chris Geere), and a music PR executive, Gretchen Cutler (Aya Cash), who hook up with each other after they both have a terrible time at the same wedding.

Jimmy and Gretchen tell each other that they don’t want love, a relationship or anything that comes from a romantic connection. And yet they get closer almost involuntarily, even though they aren’t always good together as a couple. This show may be a comedy, but it also goes to some dark, dramatic places over the course of its five-season run. But the 62 episodes of this series can keep you binge-watching for a long time.
You’re the Worst is streaming on Hulu.
‘New Girl’ (2011 – 2018)
New Girl may be the outlier on this list because it’s not an edgy comedy, and it had a long run as a broadcast network. It was also very successful and may be one of the last blockbuster sitcoms. Zooey Deschanel stars as Jessica “Jess” Day, a charming young woman who discovers that her boyfriend has been cheating on her. To get out of that situation, she immediately moves into a loft with three male roommates, Nick Miller (Jake Johnson), Schmidt (Max Greenfield) and Winston Bishop (Lamorne Morris).
This show kind of plays like a modern version of Friends, especially when Jess’ best friend, Cece Parekh (Hannah Simone), becomes an active part of the series. New Girl doesn’t jump into the romantic waters right away, but it does eventually explore relationships between Jess and Nick, as well as an even more charming connection between Cece and Schmidt. There are 146 episodes, and that’s going to be an epic binge for anyone who revisits this show.
New Girl is streaming on Hulu.
