‘Nobody Wants This’ Season 2 Ending Explained: Who Broke Up? Who Got Engaged? Who Converted to Judaism?

Season 2 of Nobody Wants This raised the stakes with more breakups, a conversion and an engagement — but where did each character end up?

The hit Netflix series picked up after Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody) decided to give their unlikely romance a real shot. Things were going well until Noah had to leave his congregation because he was passed over for a job due to Joanne being agnostic.

Noah ultimately joined a more free-thinking temple, which took the pressure off Joanne considering whether she should or shouldn’t convert to Judaism. That didn’t last long, however, as a chance eviction led to Joanne realizing that she was ready to move in with Noah — while he thought they were moving too quickly.

This resulted in a major fight in the season 2 finale. Noah and Joanne broke up but were ultimately able to work things out when Noah realized Joanne was his person. Joanne, meanwhile, came to the conclusion that she could see herself converting.

Not everyone had a similar happy ending by the end of the season, which premiered on Thursday, October 23. Morgan (Justine Lupe) found love with Dr. Andy (Arian Moayed) who turned out to not only be a therapist but her therapist as well.

Despite Joanne’s objections, Morgan continued to date Dr. Andy and they even got engaged. But Morgan couldn’t avoid the red flags and pulled the plug at their engagement party. She also continued to grow closer to Sasha (Timothy Simons), whose marriage to Esther (Jackie Tohn) hit major issues.

Esther spent the entire season questioning whether she was happy. She realized she wasn’t and asked for a break from Sasha but it didn’t seem to be over for good. Elsewhere in season 2, Morgan and Joanne’s mom, Lynn (Stephanie Faracy), was the only one to convert to Judaism so far while Joanne made progress with Noah’s mother, Bina (Tovah Feldshuh).

“We wanted to end on romance, not religion,” creator Erin Foster told Tudum about the ending. “The romance is him saying, ‘I don’t care what you are, I’m choosing you.’ We don’t really need to hear her saying, ‘Oh, my God, you’re not going to believe this. I’ve been Jewish this entire time.’ Because we know that’s about to happen.”

She added: “She’s trying so hard to see it that she can’t see it. She’s yearning for something to give her structure, purpose, boundaries, values and traditions. Judaism can give her all of those things. … She’s enjoying all these different things about Judaism,” said Foster. “But she keeps thinking God is going to just come down from the sky and be like, ‘And now you’re Jewish!’”

Looking ahead, Noah and Joanne will be at a different place in their relationship.

“It’s not Noah against Joanne,” Bell told Tudum. “It’s Joanne and Noah against the problem, which I think is a great framework to come at any relationship with.”
