Netflix’s hit romantic comedy series, Nobody Wants This, has just released on Thursday. But there’s already news made about a potential season 3.
In an interview with Parade, star Kristen Bell reveals that season 3 of Nobody Wants This is already in the works:
“The writer’s room is working right now,” Bell said. “You never know if you’re gonna be able to shoot because that’s way above our pay grade, and they decide what shows are gonna be shot. But the writer’s room is writing it right now. That we know.”
Writer’s rooms being set in motion before the renewal of a series does happen, but it expresses a lot of confidence in the renewal of the series to go that far, lest all the work be wasted. It doesn’t always pan out, but will it for Nobody Wants This?
Yes, yes, it will. No, this is not official, but you can read the message in the stars here. The show is well-liked by critics (albeit its 80% for season 2 is lower than season 1’s 95%) and well-watched by fans, where the show premiered at #1 instantly ahead of the likes of The Diplomat and Monster: Ed Gein, two big recent hits.
Plus, it’s cheap. Any comedy like this performing reasonably well has a 300% better chance of being renewed than some blockbuster series due to cost alone. Actor salaries would be the biggest thing here, but Bell and Brody will no doubt make this work, and it’s tough to see that being an insurmountable obstacle.
Where do things go from here? I don’t want to get into that because I…haven’t watched it yet. I’m waiting for my wife to finish High Potential before we get into it. Thankfully, despite being a hit, Netflix is not splitting this second season of Nobody Wants This in half. They seem to do this less with comedies, particularly ones that only have 21-30 minute episodes. This season, like last season, there are 10.
I don’t know when exactly Netflix will announce that Nobody Wants This is renewed, and I wouldn’t expect it to be immediate. But I do expect it to be something of a forgone conclusion given its immediate performance and again, low cost. So fans should not worry about seeing more of Bell, Brody, and the rest of the cast in another year or so. Another bonus here, these seasons are airing just 13 months apart. Another model program for Netflix.
