The final scenes of the first season ofNobody Wants Thisleft a lot of questions unanswered about Noah and Joanne’s relationship. With his lifelong dream of becoming head rabbi finally in reach, she initially agrees to convert to Judaism — until she comes face-to-face with Noah’s ex-girlfriend Rebecca (Emily Arlook).

Rebecca warns that being the wife of the head rabbi isn’t as simple as it seems, causing Joanne to have a change of heart. She tells Noah that she doesn’t want him to choose between his religion or their relationship and breaks up with him.

Despite her telling him not to, Noah runs after Joanne and is there waiting for her when she gets off the bus. While the ending makes it seem like Noah has chosen Joanne over his new position as head rabbi, that decision isn’t crystal clear. What is clear is that Noah can’t have both, something Foster hinted that she wanted to continue exploring in a 2024 interview withIndieWire.

“I think this is the kind of show where you want to get the thing you’re there to get and I wanted to give people that moment of, ‘We choose each other, but everyone knows we’re giving up a lot to choose each other, so how are we gonna do it?’ " she said. “And that, to me, felt like a realistic but still satisfying ending still with conflict, so you have somewhere to go.”

What isNobody Wants Thisseason 2 about?

An official synopsis forNobody Wants Thisseason 2 hasn’t been released yet, but Brody has echoed Foster’s sentiments about wanting to see where Noah and Joanne’s relationship is headed now that they’ve committed to each other.

“I think that’s what the show can explore,”The O.C.actor toldTudumin February 2025. “What should he do? What should she do? What version of sacrifice is worth it? What constitutes growth, or what constitutes dimming yourself to be with someone else? It’s a sacrifice, but ideally, you grow together and you’re better for it — you don’t have to [lop] off a limb.”

While talking toDeadlinein February 2025, Brody said that there is ‘very little” he’s able to share about the upcoming season so far, though he did drop a hint about a potential plot line.

“I think repercussions from [Noah]choosing maybe love over work. He’s going to grapple with that," he said.
