Netflix has officially renewed Nobody Wants This for a fourth season, keeping Kristen Bell’s Joanne and Adam Brody’s Noah together on screen even as the romantic comedy’s premiere-week audience has shrunk with every new season.
The streamer confirmed the pickup on its own fan site, Tudum, where the show’s hub page now carries a story headlined “Nobody Wants This Says ‘I Do’ to Season 4,” with the promise that “Noah and Joanne’s next chapter is on the way.” Netflix announced the renewal on Friday, November 6, according to a report that tracks the streamer.
Why a fourth season was never a sure thing
Netflix’s official logline sums up the premise: a sex podcaster with no religious faith falls for a rabbi just out of a long relationship, and the two have to see whether love outlasts their clashing worlds and nosy families. Erin Foster created the series, and it first arrived in 2024.
Season 3, which the streamer billed as its “Champagne Season,” landed in October and pushed the couple to an engagement. Its finale, which Tudum describes as a trip to Malibu where secrets and romance collide, ends, according to a recap of the episode, with Joanne and Noah slipping away to marry on the beach while their families fight.
The numbers behind the renewal are mixed. According to a report built on Netflix’s published viewing data, season 3 drew 6.2 million views in its first four days, made the top 10 in 56 countries and reached No. 1 in 11 of them.
Premiere week, season by season
Here is how the opening four days compare, using the same reported figures. We ran the math on the drops:
- Season 1 (2024): 10.3 million views in four days.
- Season 2 (2025): 8.6 million, down about 17% from the debut.
- Season 3 (2026): 6.2 million, down about 28% from season 2.
From the first season to the third, that is a fall of roughly 40% in launch-week viewing. The long tail tells a happier story: the same report puts season 1 at 81 million total views and season 2 at 34.5 million, which by that report’s measure keeps it among the streamer’s biggest comedies.
What we know about season 4
- Who returns: Netflix has not issued a cast list yet. Its renewal headline is built around Noah and Joanne, the couple played by Bell and Brody.
- Where the story stands: Season 3 left the newlyweds married in secret, with both families still in the dark.
- The release window: No date yet. Seasons 2 and 3 both premiered in late October, so if Netflix keeps that rhythm, October 2027 is the earliest realistic window.
What comes next
Until a date arrives, all three seasons are streaming on Netflix. The next official signal to watch for is a production start, which would set up a fall 2027 return for the show’s fourth chapter.
