"In the Season 2 premiere of "Nobody Wants This," Morgan (Justine Lupe) not-so-patiently listens as her sister, Joanne (Kristen Bell), recaps her whirlwind romance with a man she's been calling "the Prophet" (and who everyone else has been calling the Hot Rabbi, embodied by Adam Brody). Diegetically, the relationship rundown is part of the sisters' podcast, provided for their fans because Joanne now feels secure enough with Noah to "drop the nickname" and properly identify her boyfriend on the air."
"" Nobody Wants This" is a TV show - not a movie, not even a limited series - and just like no real relationship arc ends after "I love you's" are shared, no TV relationship arc can end after a single successful season. And to their credit, creator Erin Foster and new showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan know just what shoe to drop on Noah and Joanne:"
In the Season 2 premiere, Morgan listens as Joanne recaps her whirlwind romance with Noah, nicknamed the Prophet and widely known as the Hot Rabbi, and the sisters record the relationship rundown for their podcast so Joanne can identify her boyfriend on air. The episode signals the larger arc: a fresh relationship must confront long-term stakes beyond romance. The central conflict centers on whether Joanne will convert to Judaism or whether Noah will accept a gentile partner despite potential costs to his career, family, and faith. Creator Erin Foster and new showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan pace Season 2 to explore that choice.
