Nobody Wants This season one hit Netflix in September 2024 – and walked its way straight into our hearts. 

The series follows Joanne, an unlucky in love, agnostic podcaster, who falls for the charming Noah – who just so happens to be a Jewish Rabbi. 

While the pair navigate how to make their relationship work with Noah’s (and Joanne’s lack-of) religion, they also have to deal with their interfering families, friends and Noah’s ex-almost fiancée – all of whom we really enjoyed getting to know in season one. 

But with season two set to hit the streaming service later in 2025, who will be returning to the cast for the second series? Here’s what we know so far. 

Who are the main cast members of Nobody Wants This season 2?
