Netflix confirmed "Nobody Wants This" season 2 was happening just two weeks after the series premiered.

Thanks to a new announcement from the streamer, we know exactly when "Nobody Wants This" season 2 is coming our way.
As revealed on stage at a Netflix FYC event on June 1 (per THR) and today in the teaser below, "Nobody Wants This" will return on Thursday, October 23, 2025.
The newly-released video message sees five members of the core cast — Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn — play with a custom Magic 8 Ball which gives us the scoop on us a few hints at what could happen in "Nobody Wants This" season 2.
In addition to that all-important release date, there's mention of another iconic kiss, a hint that Joanne (Bell) could follow through and convert to Judaism, a hint that Morgan (Lupe) might find love next time around, and some drama between Esther (Tohn), Sasha (Simons) and Morgan

For starters, we know that "Nobody Wants This" season 2 is bringing some new faces on board as guest stars.
Chief among them is "Gossip Girl" alum Leighton Meester, who is due to play Abby, an Instagram mommy influencer who was Joanne's middle school nemesis.
Miles Fowler is also on hand as Lennny, a member of Noah's (Brody) "Matzoh Ballers" basketball team, who will be set up with Morgan at some point.
There are other new stars on hand, too: Alex Karpovsky and Arian Moayed have both signed on for "Nobody Wants This" season 2. Karpovsky guest stars as "Big Noah", an overly confident rabbi from Noah's temple, while Moayed plays Dr. Andy, a charming and self-confident psychotherapist who could be Morgan's perfect match.
Specific plot details for the new season haven't really been teased. However, between the hints discussed in the above teaser and these character bios, we can at least glean that there's going to be more drama and, naturally, romance in the air in season 2.
Behind the camera, we know that Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan have joined as showrunners, replacing "Nobody Wants This" creator Erin Foster (Foster remains as an exec producer).

How Old Is the Cast of 'Ginny & Georgia' on Netflix? - 'Ginny & Georgia' Cast Real Ages
It's back! Ginny and Georgia season three has officially landed on Netflix, reuniting us with one of the most chaotic towns in America: Wellsbury. The third season sees Georgia face trial for the murder of Cynthia's husband Tom and if that wasn't already dramatic enough, there's friendship breakdowns, new romances and high school dances to contend with. But, amongst all the madness, we can't help but be distracted by one small, but very important detail—Austin is supposed to be 9-years-old?! The younger child of Georgia Miller, Austin, is meant to be nine years old in the events of season two and three, but given it's been two years since the show was last on TV, Diesel La Torraca who plays Austin has of course grownup and is now a 14-year-old playing a 9-year-old. Yeah, the math isn't mathing on this one... And he's not the only cast member in Ginny and Georgia to be playing a different age to his own. In fact, the majority of the teenage cast are played by fully grown adults in their mid 20s. Curious to know more? These are the exact ages of the Ginny and Georgia cast and the characters they play.

Which Hampton Are You?
Ah, summer. The season where New Yorkers pack their tennis whites and Hermès Oran sandals into a leather weekender; throw it in the back of a Blacklane, Blade, or their own Range Rover; and head out to Hamptons. (As Chuck Bass says in the canonical Gossip Girl episode 'Summer, Kind of Wonderful': 'What's a jitney?') Well, uh, the generationally wealthy ones anyway. The rest of us? We're stuck in a city that smells like microwaved garbage, wondering what white collar crime or Anna Nicole Smith-style marriage we've gotta commit to afford a house in a town where the median sales price is $24.9 million. Like me! For years, I've been a guest—never a resident—in the Hamptons. Instead, I twiddle my thumbs in my apartment until I get that text from that friend inviting me to that house. I accept immediately, and express my gratitude profusely. Then I schlep out on the Ambassador with an overstuffed LL Bean tote bag and a hostess gift that's more like a religious offering to an ancient summer deity: 'Please, oh benevolent god, let this olive oil and Fuyu persimmon vinegar set from Flamingo Estate prove my worthiness to swim in an in-ground pool and drink rosé at Topping Rose House.' So, as I wait by my window A.C. unit for an invite to come through, I decided to pass the time with the following activity: writing a satire about the type of people you meet in the Hamptons. By god, I hope one day I'm one of you. East Hampton This was supposed to be the summer you opened Hither Lane, your artisanal jams and cashmeres concept shop in East Hampton. But then your Bernadoodle, Beau, got in a fight with one of Martha Stewart's Chow Chows outside the Chanel on Main Street. The poor thing almost lost an eye. With all of this going on, you simply didn't have the time to run a store that's open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Wednesday.

Matt Damon box office bomb with only 47% on RT becomes Netflix smash hit
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Despite his string of hit roles in everything from Good Will Hunting and The Bourne Identity to, most recently, Oppenheimer, not everything Matt Damon stars in is as successful. However, one of his biggest bombs is finding a new life after becoming a smash hit on Netflix. Released in 2017, Downsizing wasn't well received. It has just 47% on Rotten Tomatoes and was a box office bomb after its $55 million earnings failed to match its budget. However,in the UK, it was added to Netflix on Thursday, May 22, and it's been steadily climbing Netflix's rankings and gaining viewers. At the time of writing two weeks later, it's the streamer's most-watched movie. Living in the US? Downsizing is free via Hoopla and Kanopy but is only available to buy or rent digitally beyond those options. Downsizing is part romance, part comedy and part sci-fi story. It's set in a world in which humans invent 'downsizing', a process by which people are irreversibly shrunk to about five inches, which makes them more space efficient thereby solving overpopulation and the climate crisis. Damon plays Paul, who decides to go through the process with his wife Aubrey (Kristin Wiig)... until she pulls out at the last minute and leaves him. Stuck in his small form, and seeing his life fall apart, Paul goes on a voyage through the small 'Leisureland' in order to find himself and redefine his life. Critics of 2017 criticized Downsizing for being a bit muddled in its focus, though it's worth pointing out that certain reviewers really loved it. As someone who watched the movie in cinemas back then, it's safe to say that the movie was mis-marketed in a way that hurt it: posters and adverts made it look like a standard American comedy, but it's anything but. In a way, Downsizing is an exploration of the climate crisis and humanity's longevity, dealing with themes of class struggles and impending extinction events. It can get dark and melancholy at times, which isn't what audiences would really expect from a Matt Damon rom-com. That's likely why Downsizing was received so poorly eight years ago. It's not a bad film, but if you're expecting a lighthearted comedy, you're going to be disappointed. The movie was directed by Alexander Payne, also known for The Descendants and The Holdovers, and if you've seen those fantastic movies, you'll have your expectations better aligned for Downsizing. Downsizing climbing up Netflix's rankings makes sense: people have probably forgotten any expectations created by marketing 8 years ago, the streamer's thumbnails make it seem more of a sci-fi story than a comedy, and its genre tags are "cerebral" and "imaginative" which better fits the movie. The movie isn't actually the only pre-Covid Hollywood flop on the top-10 movies list and if you want something more action-packed, the Taron Edgerton and Jamie Foxx Robin Hood from 2018 is at #4 after being added on Sunday, June 1. Rounding out the list is Netflix Original A Widow's Game at #2, Channel 4 doc Accused: The Hampstead Paedophile Hoax at #3, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning at #5, stalwart The Super Mario Bros. Movie at #6, another Netflix movie The Heart Knows at #7, The Cat in the Hat at #8, Netflix doc A Deadly American Marriage at #9 and yet another kids movie Minions at #10.
