The marriage between Joanne and Noah seemed like the perfect way to close Nobody Wants This. After three seasons filled with obstacles, cultural and emotional differences, the two leads had finally found their happy ending on the Malibu shore. Yet, just when everything appeared to be in place, Netflix announced the show’s renewal for a fourth season. It’s a choice that, to many viewers, might come as a surprise, especially considering how romantic and conclusive the finale of the third season felt. But it is sure to please fans, given that audiences have shown they haven’t lost interest in the romantic comedy starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody. The ratings, in fact, seem to have given Netflix a compelling reason to keep the series going.
Nobody Wants This 3: What happened in the finale?
The third season marked a pivotal turning point for Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody). After navigating the challenges tied to their distinct religious and cultural backgrounds, the couple began building a life together, even moving in with each other. One of the most significant moments was Joanne’s completion of her conversion to Judaism. It stood as a crucial step for the protagonist, demonstrating how far she was willing to go to secure a future with Noah. The finale delivered one last curveball: during their Malibu trip, the pair decided to wed in an impromptu beach ceremony. A romantic moment that seemed to neatly cap off their journey. The other storylines, however, remained decidedly more tangled. Sasha (Timothy Simons), Esther (Jackie Tohn), and Morgan (Justine Lupe) found themselves drawn into a romance-filled web of confessions and betrayals. Esther discovered that Sasha had been with Morgan in New York, while Morgan learned that Sasha had also been with Esther the day before.
The ratings explain Nobody Wants This 4 renewal
If the finale of season 3 could have seemed like a natural ending, the numbers on Netflix tell a different story. The series continued to attract a substantial audience, posting solid results in the first two weeks of release. Between October 19 and 25, Nobody Wants This 3 logged 6.2 million views and 29.4 million hours watched. In the following week, from October 26 to November 1, views climbed to 7.2 million, while hours watched reached 34.3 million. The two-week total thus stands at 13.4 million views and 63.7 million hours watched. These figures demonstrate that viewer interest remained high.
The statements from Netflix and the creators about the renewal
Erin Foster, the show’s creator, and co-showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan welcomed the renewal with enthusiasm. “We’re truly happy and excited to bring another season of our favorite show, which, conveniently enough, is the one we’re producing,” they quipped. Netflix also voiced strong satisfaction with the renewal. Tracey Pakosta, vice president of comedy series, described Nobody Wants This as a “true cultural phenomenon,” highlighting how the creative team has crafted a series that grows alongside its audience. “Great love stories never go out of fashion, and our subscribers worldwide have welcomed the series season after season. We couldn’t be more thrilled for the fourth season,” she added.
What will happen in the fourth season? The previews
So what should we expect from the new episodes? Jenni Konner offered a few hints, explaining that the Malibu wedding has not yet been made official in front of everyone. “They are married in the eyes of God, but not yet in the eyes of anyone else,” the co-showrunner explained. She also suggested that when the series returns, many people will learn that Joanne and Noah have indeed gotten married. In short, the fourth chapter could begin from the consequences of this choice, showcasing a new phase of the relationship: no longer two people trying to determine if they can be together, but a married couple who must learn to actively build their future together.
Erin Foster also clarified that Joanne’s conversion does not signify the end of her story. “The series doesn’t end when Joanne becomes Jewish. Two people from different worlds come together and try to make it work,” the creator noted. “They are figuring out how to build a life together because they approach things differently. There’s still a learning journey ahead.” It remains to be seen which direction Morgan, Sasha, and Esther’s stories will take. The unresolved love triangle left at the finale could become one of the central drivers of the fourth season.
