Sound The Alarm, There's New Pictures Of Nobody Wants This Season Two
After Joanne and Noah got back together after a brief split at the end of season one, fans were begging for a second season of the show – and Netflix granted their wish. Here's everything we know so far about Nobody Wants This season two.
Yes, Netflix confirmed a second season of Nobody Wants This was coming in October last year, just weeks after the first season arrived. The show's creator Erin Foster will continue to tell story of Joanne and Noah, but this time with Girls showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplansaid. Now, new pictures have even been released of them filming on set.
Foster said, 'I'm so lucky to be able to continue this story and to do it alongside Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, who I've been such a fan of since Girls... Justice for healthy relationships being the most romantic!'
Of course, Kristen Bell and Adam Brody will return as Joanne and Noah as well as some other favourite characters from season 1. But they will also be joined by some new faces – including Brody's former Gossip Girl co-star Leighton Meester.
The full cast list so far is:
Not just yet, but we do have a 35-second teaser clip...
Season 1 saw Joanne and Noah fall in love quickly, trying to navigate their relationship despite Joanne not being Jewish. While she considered converting, she wasn't ready to make the commitment.
The pair briefly split but reunited after Noah made a grand gesture in a parking lot after a bat mitzvah.
Yes, show creator Foster based the show on her own experience of converting to Reform Judaism to marry her husband Simon Tikhman.
Nobody Wants This is scheduled for release on October 23 this year - and we're counting down the days!
While you wait, you can watch season 1 of Nobody Wants This on Netflix now.

Meghan Markle's 'pattern of behaviour' as she faces claims of 'copying Kate'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Meghan Markle is confronting renewed claims she's "mimicking" her sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales, after her latest television agreement with Netflix. The Duke of Sussex, 40, and the Duchess of Sussex, 44, revealed a fresh "first-look" arrangement last week with the American streaming platform. Beyond placing Meghan under additional examination, specialists inform the Mirror that the particulars represent an obvious "reality check" for the pair. The agreement features a fresh festive instalment of Meghan's With Love programme, inviting audiences to "join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration". Royal observers were swift to claim Meghan was attempting to hijack the seasonal spotlight from Kate, 43, who presents her own yearly Christmas gathering, reports the Mirror. Kinsey Schofield, a podcaster and Royal specialist in the US, maintains, though, that the Sussexes have demonstrated a "pattern of choosing moments" that threaten to eclipse other Royal events – and Christmas could prove no different. "It's become so noticeable it was reported recently that Harry had offered to share his schedule with the family as an 'olive branch' to avoid competing in the future," she explains. This emerges as Royal couple secretly welcome second baby and reveal tot's adorable name. Previously this year, Harry faced accusations of "stealing the limelight" from his father and stepmother when he turned up at the Royal Courts of Justice in London shortly before King Charles and Queen Camilla commenced their state visit to Italy, which also aligned with their 20th wedding anniversary. The launch of the paperback version of his explosive memoir, Spare, made global headlines, coinciding with the King and Queen's tour of Australia. Back in 2020, Meghan's team faced criticism when a series of fortnight-old photos were posted on her Instagram account on the same day Kate embarked on a UK tour. When Harry and Meghan announced their so-called "Megxit" on the eve of Kate's 38th birthday, they were accused of "overshadowing". However, regarding their Christmas plans, Kinsey suspects that Meghan is unlikely to replicate the feel-good celebration hosted by Kate. The mother-of-three organises an annual Christmas service at Westminster Abbey, which has become one of the most significant and touching events in the family's festive calendar. Kinsey, who presents the To Di For Daily podcast, doubts that Meghan's event will resonate in the same way, stating, "Catherine's carol concert is about unity, love, and hope. She arrives with her family, with a sense of togetherness and faith." In contrast, Meghan's Christmas special feels more like a branding opportunity. She's timed product launches from her lifestyle line, As Ever, to coincide with the release. "Catherine's carol concert is about unity, love, and hope. Kinsey adds. "Without the warmth of family or shared tradition, it comes across less as a holiday celebration and more as a commercial venture. When compared, Catherine's feels authentic and meaningful, while Meghan's risks appearing transactional. "The Sussexes' most recent television announcement arrives five years after they inked a Netflix agreement reportedly valued at over $100m (£74m), shortly after abandoning their roles as senior working fresh arrangement – characterised as a "multi-year, first-look deal" – means Netflix will fund the right to receive initial consideration of the couple's projects, but remains uncommitted to purchasing McNamara, a talent manager and PR crisis specialist, reckons the shift in conditions delivers a powerful signal. "It's not necessarily a humiliation, but it is a reality check for Meghan and Harry and also a reflection of the ever-changing entertainment world," he tells us. Every network and streamers' belts are tightening. Netflix wants to see sharper ideas and stronger delivery before committing to mega-budgets again. The upside is that this could help Meghan and Harry define what they actually stand for, creatively. "The duo's output thus far, including Harry's polo documentary and Meghan's With Love series, weren't precisely record-shattering triumphs, with the latter unable to penetrate Netflix's roster of the 300 most-viewed programmes of the year to also proposes that whilst Meghan won't appreciate the "copying" remarks, she would have been completely conscious that parallels would unavoidably be drawn. "Every broadcaster, charity and celebrity under the sun produces holiday specials. It's a warm, family-friendly format that audiences respond to. That said, Meghan knows the optics. Wanting to be seen in the same aspirational light as Kate isn't the worst strategy, but Meghan's challenge is to make it feel authentic to her own brand, not a re-skin of someone else's."

David Tennant loves role of sinister villain terrorising Hollywood's biggest names in new Netflix murder mystery
A bunch of golden oldies solve cold cases for fun until a death at their retirement village leaves them facing a real whodunnit. KILLING IT David Tennant loves role of sinister villain terrorising Hollywood's biggest names in new Netflix murder mystery Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DAVID TENNANT is killing it as a ruthless villain in his new murder mystery movie – while taking on some of the biggest names in showbiz. The Scots actor stars in Netflix film The Thursday Murder Club alongside The Queen icon Dame Helen Mirren, James Bond star Pierce Brosnan and Gandhi actor Sir Ben Kingsley. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 There's lots of huge names in the cast. Credit: Giles Keyte/Netflix 3 The movie is based on Richard Osman's book. Credit: Cr. Giles Keyte / Courtesy of Ne 3 David still tries to see the good qualities of his character. They play a bunch of golden oldies who solved cold cases for fun until the death of builder Tony Curran at their retirement village left them facing a real whodunnit. But cracking the case proves tough as David's character Ian Ventham, who owns the Coopers Chase complex, is determined to oust them so he can redevelop the site. The Doctor Who actor, of Bathgate, West Lothian, said of playing unscrupulous Ventham: 'He's got all the signs of success, but he's facing a big divorce settlement and he needs to make more money fast. 'He lacks empathy, diplomacy and charisma and he's self-interested to an alarming extent. 'Originally, Ventham was brought in by Tony Curran to develop the Coopers Chase retirement village. 'But after Curran's death, he intends to push ahead with a plan to displace the residents and redevelop the site.' Despite the fact 'sinister' Ventham has few redeeming qualities, David still tries to see the good in him. He said: 'He's not the most sympathetic character. You're always trying to see your character's point of view, so I don't particularly see him as a villain or as a ne'er do well. 'He's just someone who's got himself in a very particular situation and doesn't have the people skills to get through life with as much charm as one might hope he should have.' The movie plot is based on former Pointless presenter Richard Osman's bestselling novel, also The Thursday Murder Club, which was the UK's most successful book of the decade. Star of 'The Thursday Murder Club' looks unrecognisable on set Film director Chris Columbus, famed for Harry Potter, Home Alone and Mrs Doubtfire, said he had a lifelong ambition to see David cast in one of his productions. He explained: 'David Tennant is simply one of our greatest living actors. I was a huge fan of his performances in shows like Broadchurch and Des, along with his theatre work in Macbeth. 'David's name was soon added to the list of actors I vowed to someday work with. I was thrilled when he agreed to play Ian Ventham in our film. 'He has the ability to portray a sinister villain like Ventham, a man with very few redeeming qualities, and make the audience believe that this person truly exists, that they are watching a real human being on screen.' Helen Mirren plays Elizabeth Best, the leader of the amateur sleuthing gang and an intelligent strategist who may have been a spy in a past life. Meanwhile, Pierce Brosnan is Ron Ritchie, a would-be comedian, militant and high-profile trade union activist dubbed 'Red Ron' by the Press, whose son is an ex-boxing champion. His best pal is psychiatrist Ibrahim Arif, played by Ben Kingsley. And former nurse Joyce Meadowcroft, a newcomer to Coopers Chase after being widowed, is portrayed by Celia Imrie. Helen said: 'I was one of the many millions who read the book and loved it. I couldn't put it down and was utterly charmed by it. 'And reading it, you do think 'This could be a movie'. 'I could tell immediately the character I would be most suitable for. My friends who read the book also said, 'If they ever make a movie, you have to play Elizabeth'. 'We can tell that she was someone powerful and substantial, but it's all a bit secret. Was she a high level politician? Was she a high level operative in MI5 or MI6? 'She never quite talks about it, but we get a sense. She's tough, she's smart and she's witnessed some heavy-duty things.' But Helen reveals the film also carries an important message. She added: 'It has these absolutely serious issues within it as well, the issues that you have to deal with the further you get into your life. 'The diminishing of your mind and body, and how to deal with that. The murder mystery is the foundation, but it's not the essence. 'The essence of the film are the characters and their humanity.' Pierce said Chris Columbus, who he worked with on 1993 Hollywood blockbuster Mrs Doubtfire, 'seems to come around every ten years or so with wonderful jobs' for him. 'Ron is a stout fellow of good character,' he added of his role. 'He doesn't particularly want to be at Coopers Chase, but there's a time in life when you just have to hang up your spurs.' Meanwhile, Celia beamed: 'The minute I got the part, I went whizzing down to the bookshop, buying all The Thursday Murder Club copies I could lay my hands on. I was trying to find little snippets of exactly what Joyce got up to. 'Every now and then in the book, I'd find marvellous little details about Joyce's love of particular television programmes, using her napkin at the lunch table because she thinks it makes her look clever or putting the chairs out at a meeting because she thinks people will like her better.' The Thursday Murder Club is the first of four novels, with a fifth set for release this autumn. So far, the series has sold more than 10million copies. Although the books have enjoyed far-reaching success, and been translated into 46 different languages, Richard didn't have to look far for inspiration. The entire concept is based on his mum Brenda, who he hopes can show other pensioners they still have plenty left in the tank. He said: 'My mum lives in a retirement village in the south of England. It's very beautiful, very bucolic and it looks like just the place where Agatha Christie would set a murder. 'And when I was talking to the people that live there — all over 75 — they've all done extraordinary things with their lives and have amazing stories. I thought, 'What if there was a murder here? I bet you these people could solve it'. 'That idea was what I was trying to tap into with The Thursday Murder Club — the notion that there is a generation who have done extraordinary things, have extraordinary skill sets and wisdom and they have become overlooked. 'They've become underestimated, almost invisible. And if you combine being invisible with being wise, then you have the perfect skill set for a detective.' The Thursday Murder Club will be released on Netflix on August 28 and in selected cinemas from August 22.

ITV sitcom lauded as 'the funniest ever made' rockets up the Netflix charts four full seasons arrive on streamer
An ITV sitcom dubbed 'the funniest ever made' has rocked up the Netflix chart after four full series dropped on the streamer. Plebs, created by Sam Leifer and Tom Basden, hit our screens on ITV back in 2013 and wrapped up six years later. Over the years there has been 39 episodes across five seasons. But fans were treated to a one-off special in 2022. Netflix's synopsis reads: 'Three hapless young men pursue love, good times and jobs that won't kill, maim or humiliate them in the anything-goes city of ancient Rome.' It stars the likes of Tom Rosenthal, Joel Fry, Ryan Sampson, Tom Basden and Karl Theobald. Although the sitcom finished in 2019, the programme is still a huge fan favourite and many will be over the moon to know that it's now available to watch on Netflix. The first four seasons of Plebs are available on the streaming service. Series one has six episodes to watch, while the other three have eight to enjoy. Clearly people are absolutely loving the show on Netflix, because it's currently sitting at number three in the charts. Many have rushed online to share their positive reviews about the show on Google reviews. 'The funniest, most brilliantly written comedy ever made.' 'Smart and hilarious! Great characters.' 'Original funny and very entertaining. I love the ska/rocksteady soundtrack. Great cast too.' 'One of the funniest sitcoms I've come across. Cast change to begin season 4 details the season to start but ends up working well with the new cast and setting change.' Many rushed online to share some positive reviews about the popular programme, which is now available to watch on Netflix 'I've watched every episode of this I think it's brilliant. Clever how it's an ancient setting but modern humour.' 'Plebs is the funniest, most brilliantly written comedy ever made in our opinion. 'And it's frustrating that it feels totally underrated. 'The final feature length film had us in tears as well as in stitches! Brilliant!! 'We will miss it so much!!' Meanwhile others have taken to IMDB to do the same. 'Hilarious view of Ancient Rome.' 'Loving this - it's pretty much The Inbetweeners do Ancient Rome. Class.' Others took to IMDB to share their positive reviews about the show 'I loved this show, so much so that its now my most recommended show to my friends. 'Everyone is weary when i first tell them the premise and when they first see it. By the 2nd episode they also become a fellow plebeian. 'Give the show a try at least 2 episodes! You will most likely not regret it.' 'Charming, likable characters, upbeat music and a unique setting. This show is very easy to watch and get into.'
