Nobody Wants This Season 2 Debuts on Netflix With Softer Reviews

The release draws a lower Rotten Tomatoes score than Season 1, with writers exploring ideas for a third season that Netflix has not ordered.

Overview

  • All 10 episodes of the second season are now streaming on Netflix as of October 23, 2025.
  • Early reception registers at 83% on Rotten Tomatoes versus roughly 95% for the first season, with critics citing reduced lead chemistry and thinner character work.
  • Reviewers say the show’s engagement with Jewish identity remains central but its perspective can feel uneven, even as the season features explicit ritual-focused episodes.
  • Season 2 arrives under new showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan and includes notable guest turns from Leighton Meester, Seth Rogen, Arian Moayed, and Kate Berlant.
  • Kristen Bell says a writers’ room is developing ideas for a possible Season 3, though Netflix has not announced a renewal.
