Kristen Bell and Adam Brody's romcom Nobody Wants This has landed on Netflix, and naturally viewers are already clamouring for a second season.
The 10-part series stunned fans with a giant cliffhanger as unlikely couple agnostic podcaster Joanne (Bell) and rabbi Noah (Brody) decided they could make a go of things after all.
But can the pair really make it work? And what will they have to sacrifice (or become accustomed to) to get there?
Wondering whether we'll be getting a season 2? Read on for everything you need to know about the future of Nobody Wants This, including what show creator Erin Foster has had to say on the matter.

Is Nobody Wants This season 2 happening?
Netflix has yet to give Nobody Wants This season 2 the official go-ahead, but we've had a promising update from show creator Erin Foster.
Speaking about the series and potential future instalments, Foster told Indiewire ahead of season 1's premiere: "We’re getting a really positive response. And so I think the conversations have definitely started to happen about a potential Season 2.
"The story in season 1 unfolds really slowly. And so I think if there is a season 2 I would want to just kind of pick up where we leave off and continue to take it slow, because I don’t want us to get too far ahead of ourselves. I mean, I want my show to be on the air as long as possible!"
Speaking to The Wrap more recently – following the show's premiere – Foster said: “I would love to do a season 2; Kristen and Adam would love to do a season 2.
"There’s so much more story to tell so if people like the show, then I would be really excited to keep telling it."
The streamer usually takes at least one month to decide the fate of its shows (although some have bucked that trend), so there's a possibility we won't know what the future holds for Joanne and Noah for quite some time.

When could a potential Nobody Wants This season 2 be released?
With no previous seasons to go off, forming an educated guess about when season 2 could air is tricky.
Ideally, it would arrive in 2025, but cast schedules could delay that, and it's not uncommon for shows to take two or more years to return to our screens.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves. First up, we need that all-important renewal.
Who could return for a potential Nobody Wants This season 2?
Alongside Kristen Bell as Joanne and Adam Brody as Noah, we'd expect to see the following:
- Justine Lupe as Morgan
- Timothy Simons as Sasha
- Jackie Tohn as Esther
- Emily Arlook as Rebecca
- Stephanie Faracy as Lynn
- Michael Hitchcock as Henry
- Tovah Feldshuh as Bina
- Paul Ben-Victor as Ilan
- Sherry Cola as Ashley
- Shiloh Bearman as Miriam
Supporting cast includes D'Arcy Carden as Ryann and Stephen Tobolowsky as Rabbi Cohen.
What could happen in a potential Nobody Wants This season 2?
After telling Noah that she wanted to convert to Judaism, Joanne then came to the realisation that she wasn't ready, and wasn't sure she ever would be, which was a complicating factor before, but is even more so now that Noah looks set to become head rabbi.
She then reluctantly broke off their relationship and told Noah not to follow her, even though she desperately wanted him to, and that, it seemed, was that.
But there wouldn't be much of a story if he listened to anything she said and in the closing moments of season 1, Noah was there waiting for her when she left the shuttle.
"So how does this work?" asked Joanne.
"Well you were right, I can't have both," he said, before kissing her passionately.
So, Joanne and Noah are set to make another go of it, despite the elephant remaining firmly in the room.
Will she eventually decide to convert after learning more about Noah's religion and deciding that she also wants it for herself, and not just for her boyfriend?
Will Noah sacrifice both his career and his relationship with his own family and community for their relationship if Joanne decides that Judaism isn't the right fit for her?
Or will they continue as they are, starting their own quiet revolution within this particular branch of the LA Jewish scene as they refuse to bow to what everyone else demands of them?
With so much uncertainty in the air, we demand a follow-up, STAT!
