‘Nobody Wants This’ Renewed Season 2 By Netflix With Jenni Konner & Bruce Eric Kaplan, Showrunners

Nobody Wants This is not living up to its title because Netflix definitely wants more, renewing the hit romantic comedy starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody for a second season. The pickup, which will be revealed this morning by Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria, comes with a showrunner change on the breakout series, created and executive produced by Erin Foster who remains its creative voice.

Girls alums Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan have come on board as executive producers and showrunners for Season 2, leading a writers room which has been open for a couple of weeks. They are joined by Nora Silver, President at Jenni Konner Productions, who will executive produce alongside the duo as well as returning executive producers Erin Foster, Sara Foster, Bell, Steven Levitan, Oly Obst, Danielle Stokdyk and Jeff Morton. 20th Television is the studio.

The deals with Konner, Kaplan and Silver were made before the comedy’s September 26 release as one of the strongest launches ever for a Netflix original comedy series. Debuting at No. 2 in its opening weekend, Nobody Wants This climbed to No. 1 in its first full week, garnering impressive 26.2M views in its first 11 days of release as well as seizing the zeitgeist and triggering a conversation.
