'Nobody Wants This' Season 3 Numbers Down From Prior Two Seasons
Netflix comedy series still made the cut for TV's weekly rankings during release week.
The third season of Nobody Wants This has opened up to somewhat disappointing numbers when compared to the prior seasons' premiere. According to Netflix data, the new episodes were able to reach 6.2 million viewers worldwide since its October 22 global release.
For comparison, the first season was watched by 10.3 million people during its first days and the second season reached 8.6 million people the following year. It is, though, the biggest comedy series' premiere for the streaming platform this year and made the second place for their TV's weekly rankings during October 19-25.
The release was also followed by cast controversies. Series creator Erin Foster recently made the news by commenting on Adam Brody's statements in support of Palestine: "You know, it's complicated. Although I love Adam, I also disagree with him. And that's okay," she said, opposing his points of view. Tovah Feldshuh, who plays Bina, also commented on the matter: "To accuse the Jewish people of genocide is wild. It’s right out of Hitler’s playbook. You take the victim and you make the victim the perpetrator", she said.
Everything you need to know about season three of Nobody Wants This
After reaffirming their commitment to each other at the end of the previous season, Joanne and Noah are moving into a house — and living a relationship — that finally feels solid, embracing every exciting "first" that comes with building a life together.
Sasha and Esther are thrown back into the dating world, whether they like it or not, dealing with all the awkwardness (and unexpected excitement) of meeting someone new, just as Morgan takes her career to a new level, on her way to becoming an (almost) media sensation. Meanwhile, Sasha and Morgan keep circling something neither of them can admit.
Other guest actors confirmed for Season 3 include Avan Jogia (56 Days) as Travis, a confident, laid-back guy who loves teasing Joanne; Poorna Jagannathan (Deli Boys) as Eleanor, Sebastien's strong-willed, sharp-tongued aunt; Sadie Sandler (Roomates) as Denise, a young psychic who gives Morgan a reading; Stephanie Koenig (English Teacher) as Poppy, a sarcastic frequent user of dating apps who tries her luck with Sasha; and Steven Weber (Wings) as Julian, a fun, level-headed, cool, and self-assured divorced father.
The series centers on the relationship between an agnostic woman and an unconventional Jewish rabbi. The show premiered in the second half of 2024. The second season was confirmed in October of that same year. Still in 2024, filming for the second season was confirmed for February of this year.
All three seasons of Nobody Wants This are available in full on Netflix.
