Netflix Renews Hit Rom-Com "Nobody Wants This" for Season 2
Fans of heartwarming laughter and swoon-worthy moments, rejoice! Netflix has officially given the green light for a second season of their smash-hit romantic comedy series, "Nobody Wants This." The show, which stars the dynamic duo of Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, took the streaming world by storm when it premiered on September 26th.
New Showrunners Bring Fresh Perspective
Netflix isn't just serving up more of the same for season two. They're shaking things up behind the scenes with some seriously talented new blood. Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, both alums of the groundbreaking series "Girls," are joining the team as showrunners and executive producers.
These TV veterans aren't wasting any time, either. Word on the street is that they've already been hard at work crafting scripts for the upcoming season over the past few weeks. Talk about hitting the ground running!
A Star-Studded Production Team
While the show is welcoming new faces, don't worry – the creative genius behind "Nobody Wants This" isn't going anywhere. Erin Foster, the show's creator, will continue her role as executive producer. She'll be in good company, with industry heavyweights Steven Levitan and Oly Obst also on board as executive producers.
And here's a fun twist: Kristen Bell isn't just bringing her A-game in front of the camera. She's also flexing her producing muscles as an executive producer on the series. Talk about a double threat!
A Dream Come True for Creator Erin Foster
Erin Foster couldn't contain her excitement about the show's renewal. In a heartfelt statement, she gushed, "Creating 'Nobody Wants This' will forever be one of the most significant moments of my career."
Foster went on to praise the incredible team that brought her vision to life: "The amazing cast, crew, producers, and executives all turned this into the show it is today, and seeing the audience's response now that it's out in the world has been beyond anything I could have imagined."
But the cherry on top for Foster? Getting to continue the story alongside some of her industry idols. "I'm so lucky to be able to continue this story and to do it with Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, who I've been a fan of since 'Girls,'" she added.
Breaking Records and Stealing Hearts
"Nobody Wants This" isn't just a critical darling – it's a bonafide hit with viewers, too. Since its debut, the show has been dominating Netflix's English TV Top 10 list.
In its first few days, the series claimed the number two spot with a whopping 10.3 million views. But it didn't stop there. By the end of its premiere week, "Nobody Wants This" had skyrocketed to the top position, raking in an impressive 15.9 million views and dethroning the previous chart-topper, "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story."
What's Next for "Nobody Wants This"?
While plot details for the second season are being kept under wraps, fans can expect more of the witty banter, heartfelt moments, and laugh-out-loud situations that made the first season such a hit. With new showrunners at the helm and the original creative team still involved, it's safe to say that "Nobody Wants This" is in good hands.
