What Is Nobody Wants This About?
Season 1 followed the unlikely romance between Joanne, an agnostic podcaster, and Noah, a devout rabbi — inspired by the real-life relationship of creator Erin Foster, who converted to Judaism after falling in love with a Jewish partner.
The season ended with a big question: Will Joanne convert so Noah can advance in his synagogue? That cliffhanger sets the stage for deeper emotional and cultural challenges in Season 2.
