Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody) still need to work through their differing beliefs in Season 2 of Netflix's "Nobody Wants This," now streaming.
Noah (Adam Brody) and Joanne (Kristen Bell) are 'on more solid ground' at the end of Season 2, says Bell.

Spoiler alert: The following contains details from Season 2 of “Nobody Wants This.”

Once again, “Nobody Wants This” had viewers on the edge of their kisseh (seat) for its season finale. Netflix’s interfaith rom-com, now streaming its 10-episode sophomore run, hinges on whether Joanne will (Kristen Bell) or won’t convert to Judaism for her dreamy boyfriend, Rabbi Noah (Adam Brody). It’s why they briefly split in Season 1.

In the penultimate episode of Season 2, Noah expresses his fear that moving in with Joanne would jumpstart a relationship trajectory that couldn’t be stalled even if she decided not to convert. And if Joanne were to ultimately refuse, Noah worries he would become resentful. In the finale, Noah tells Joanne at the engagement party of her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe) that he’s out of ideas. He feels they have no choice but to break up, and he leaves the lavish fete, where Morgan ends up dumping her therapist-turned-fiancé Dr. Andy (Arian Moayed). When Joanne confides in Noah’s sister-in-law Esther (Jackie Tohn) about the breakup, she says she’ll miss Shabbat dinner and other customs.

Esther assures Joanne she feels quite Jewish to her. “The whole thing is just a feeling,” Esther says, “and enjoying all those little things is the feeling.” Recognizing she is embracing Judaism, Joanne runs to find Noah, and they reunite in front of the iconic Urban Light sculpture at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

“None of it matters,” Noah tells her. Joanne is his soulmate, and he doesn’t care if she converts. “I choose you, every time,” he says. “Well, you’re in luck,” Joanne tells him before they kiss.

The similarity between season finales is intentional, Bell tells USA TODAY.

“I think every step forward that they take, every new day that they choose each other deliberately allows them to be on more solid ground,” Bell, 45, says. “It's one more piece of connective tissue between the two of them and every day is more of a shared history. I would say they are progressing nicely.”

Throughout season 2, Noah and Joanne have experimented with blending their friends, hosted their first dinner party, and survived their first Valentine’s Day.

“They have a lot more skin in the game, both of them, at this point,” Brody, also 45, tells USA TODAY. “They're a lot more aware of what it means to commit to each other, and so I think the commitment is a deeper one in the end of the season.”

Bell, who has been married to actor and podcast host Dax Shepard since 2013, thinks the potential storylines for Season 3 are endless.

“Anyone who's lived on Earth for more than a few years, understands that there are problems, issues, tension, friction around every corner, but there's also laughter and joy,” Bell says. “And that's what we're attempting to discover and uncover in this show, but focusing on the smaller moments of real life and the hyperrealism that the show is written with in mind.

“Personally, I see a lot of comedy coming out of Joanne attempting to study to take the Jewish SATs for conversion,” she adds. “I'd love to have Joanne have to memorize some facts and crack open some books. I think that would be comedically entertaining for me to play at least.”

“I'd be pleased to put her through her paces there,” Brody, married to actress Leighton Meester since 2014, says. “And there's so many relatable things and benchmarks that go into building a life together that they've yet to really embark on that we could and hopefully will get to.” Like figuring out their living situation, since Joanne was evicted.

“There's marriage, if they should want that,” Brody says. “There's children, if they should want that … which is not to say that you can't eschew a lot of those and have a deep, adult, long-term relationship. Of course you can, and they could do that too. Either way, those are some sort of obvious things that come to mind. But in some ways, I'm more interested in the less obvious and the creativity of the writers’ room. ‘Surprise me’ is what I want.”
