Everybody Wants This! How a Netflix Rom-Com Went From Near Implosion to Cultural Obsession

From a first season of scrapped scripts and sparring producers to a hit crackling with chemistry: The cast and creator of ‘Nobody Wants This’ reveal the backstory of fall’s most anticipated return.

There are the rare television shows that seem to sail through the various stages of production blissfully. They have writers rooms that are cohesive, producers who share a vision and distributors that are confident in what they’re readying for release. On these shows, episodes typically come in on time and without significant issue, and the stars involved are primed for success.

The Jewish rom-com, starring Kristen Bell as an agnostic sex-and-relationship podcaster and Adam Brody as a laid-back rabbi, spent the better part of last year mired in chaos. Production on season one had fallen woefully behind schedule, as whole episodes were scrapped, scripts were written at the eleventh hour and producers, including Bell, began second-guessing the series’ tone.

Following meteoric success — and some criticism — 'Nobody Wants This' evolves in Season 2
