Plenty of people seem to want it, as Nobody Want This has been renewed for a second season.
The pickup was revealed on Thursday morning by Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria after first being reported by Deadline.
Stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody will now be back on the popular Netflix series, in which they play a pair of star-crossed lovers from drastically different religious backgrounds.
The show has been a hit with critics, and it currently boasts a 95 percent fresh rating from the most prestigious reviewers surveyed by Rotten Tomatoes.
Bell stars on Nobody wants this as an agnostic podcast host, while Brody plays a progressive-minded rabbi. The two find an instant connection, though their different philosophies threaten to tear them apart.

Although Netflix’s renewal is a display of confidence in the series, the streamer announced a major behind-the-scenes shakeup for the second season.
Series creator Erin Foster and executive producer Craig DiGregorio had shared showrunner duties for the first season, but they will be replaced in season two by Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan.
Konner is best known for serving as co-showrunner with Lena Dunham on Girls, while Kaplan is a New Yorker cartoonist who has also worked as a writer on Seinfeld, as well as writing and producing on Six Feet Under and Girls.
‘It’s a dream to be working on Nobody Wants This,’ Konner said in a statement. ‘Erin is the rare creator with a crystal clear voice and a genuinely collaborative spirit. I am a true fan of Erin’s show and also feel so lucky to be back in a room with two of my favorites, Bruce Kaplan and [writer] Sarah Heyward from Girls.’
Kaplan added: ‘I am excited beyond belief to be a part of Season 2 of Nobody Wants This, created by the hilarious Erin Foster. It is such a unique and beautiful show and I am already having the best time working on it.’
Both Foster and DiGregorio appear to be sticking around as executive producers, and Foster will continue to write the series and chart its creative direction.
Nora Silver, the president of Jenni Konner Productions, was also joining the series as an EP, according to Deadline.
Konner, Kaplan and Silver all reportedly signed up to work on the second season before the first season had even premiered on Netflix.
It became one of Netflix’s best original comedy releases, and Nobody Wants This proved its title to be a lie when it debuted in second place on Netflix’s top 10 ranking for it’s first weekend.
But the show managed to attract enough new viewers to make it into the top spot on the list after a full week.
The show reportedly had 26.2 million viewers in its first 11 days, though Netflix is notoriously opaque about its viewership figures and how it calculates them.
Fans on social media were over the moon after the renewal was announced, with several posting punny lines inspired by the show’s title.
