He'll play Lenny, one of the Matzah Ballers who gets set up with Joanne's sister, Morgan.

Here's everything we know so far about *Nobody Wants This,* season 2:

## *When will ‘Nobody Wants This’ Season 2 be released?*

There’s no official timeline for the second season just yet but we do know it will be out sometime this year.

## *What is the plot of ‘Nobody Wants This’ Season 2?*

Spoilers ahead so *do not read* if you haven’t watched all of Season 1 yet, okay?

Okay.

The first season ended on a major cliffhanger with Joanne and Noah wondering if there’s a world in which they can actually be together. Joanne said she’s not prepared to convert Judaism, and didn’t know if she’d ever want to change herself for him. And Noah came to the realisation he’d have to choose between his dream of becoming Head Rabbi or being with the woman he loves.

No details have been released about the plot for season 2 so stay tuned!

## **Was ‘Nobody Wants This’ inspired by a true story?**

The series is loosely based on creator Erin Foster’s relationship with her now-husband, Simon Tikhman. Whilst Simon isn’t a Rabbi like Adam Brody’s character, Erin is a podcaster and she did convert to Judaism! The couple now share a 4-month-old daughter named Noa Mimi.
