Creator Erin Foster has revealed the second series of Netflix’s hit show will ditch a flirtatious friendship.

Fans around the world are already keenly anticipating the second series of Nobody Wants This, after the Netflix series stole all our hearts with Season 1. The rom-com has gotten rave reviews, with fans calling it one of the ‘best’ shows to come out of Netflix in some time.

The show follows Joanne (Kristen Bell), an agnostic podcaster and Noah (Adam Brody), a newly single rabbi, who fall in love but have wildly different lives and families, making a relationship very difficult. Noah’s family, in particular, want nothing to do with Joanna because she’s not Jewish and tries to push him back with his Jewish ex, Rebecca.

Nobody Wants This series creator on difference in Season 2

Nobody Wants This creator Erin Foster recently revealed that the flirtatious storyline between Joanne’s sister and podcast co-host Morgan and Noah’s married brother Sasha will not continue going forward, despite the surprising bond the two shared in Season 1.

While their relationship flirted the lines of friendship and chemistry, the one glaring problem with the developing storyline was, of course, Sasha’s wife Esther.

Erin said to avoid the ‘homewrecker’ storyline going forward, the show wouldn’t allude to any future sparks of romantic interest between Morgan and Noah.

“I think we’re going to wrap up their weird ‘Is it romantic?’ thing,” Erin said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “Because we want to see them together in Season 2, hanging out. We want to see Esther. I think we went down that road enough that now we’re going to pull back and reposition so we can have them all in scenes together without [Morgan] being like, a full homewrecker.”

Erin went on to say, as the team works on Season 2, that there’s hope for extending the series even further, saying they had operated the first season’s storyline under the hopes they’d be greenlit to continue the show.

“I kind of always operated with the hope of a season two. When you’re on set and you’re in editing and experiencing it, the chemistry between Adam and Kirsten was palpable. You’d watch on screen and we felt like, ‘Oh, we think we struck something that’s really special here’,” she shared. “So I guess I kind of always looked at the show in editing with the idea of, ‘Where would we take it next, if we could?'”
