Netflix is gearing up for a busy October, and among the highlights is the return of the beloved romantic comedy Nobody Wants This. The show, starring Adam Brody and Kristen Bell, has become a fan favorite since its debut, and now we know exactly when Season 3 will drop.
Mark your calendars for October 22, 2026, when all ten episodes of the new season will premiere on Netflix. The series follows the unlikely romance between Noah, a rabbi, and Joanne, a sex podcaster, played by Brody and Bell respectively. Both actors have earned Primetime Emmy nominations for their performances, a testament to the show's charm and critical acclaim.
The first season was a massive hit, racking up 1.2 billion minutes watched in a single week and debuting with 10.3 million views in its first four days. Season 2 saw a slight dip with 8.6 million views in its opening days, but still topped Netflix's English-language TV chart. Now, Season 3 aims to keep the momentum going.
This season, Noah and Joanne are taking a major step in their relationship: they're moving in together. After the emotional rollercoaster of Season 2, co-showrunner Bruce Eric Kaplan wanted to give the couple a chance to enjoy their happiness. "After the ups and downs of Noah and Joanne in Season 2, it was really important to us to be like, 'Let's let them have their moment now of settling in and having fun,'" he said.
The official synopsis teases: "Prepare to have that 'first time' feeling, all over again. After recommitting to each other at the end of last season, Joanne and Noah are moving into a home — and a relationship — that finally feels solid, embracing every exciting 'first' that comes with building their life together."
With the will-they/won't-they tension resolved, the show is venturing into new territory, exploring the challenges and joys of cohabitation. This fresh direction could attract both new viewers and loyal fans eager to see what's next for the couple.
If you haven't caught up yet, Seasons 1 and 2 are currently streaming on Netflix. And while you wait for the new episodes, you might want to check out other Netflix picks to fill the time.
