The excitement is building as the second season of the hit Netflix series *Nobody Wants This* gears up for filming, and fans are eager to know which beloved characters will return. The show, which debuted in September 2024, follows the unconventional romance between Joanne, an outspoken agnostic played by Kristen Bell, and Rabbi Noah, portrayed by Adam Brody.
