Kristen Bell's Nobody Wants This Climbs Netflix Charts

Kristen Bell's popular series, "Nobody Wants This," has re-entered Netflix's top ranks, securing the No. 2 spot on the global English-language TV chart during the October 19-25 tracking week. Season 3's debut achieved 6.2 million views, marking the most successful opening for a returning comedy series on the platform in 2026. Despite its strong performance, this season's premiere viewership was lower than its predecessors, with Season 1 launching to 10.3 million views in 2024 and Season 2 to 8.6 million in 2025.

Creator Erin Foster revealed that the romantic plot, particularly the proposal, was inspired by her own engagement. Foster also makes an appearance in the fourth episode as Nicole. The series explores the relationship between podcaster Joanne, played by Bell, and Noah, a rabbi portrayed by Adam Brody. The narrative aims to present romantic milestones in a fresh and surprising manner.

Beyond the romantic themes, "Nobody Wants This" features a personal connection between Kristen Bell and her castmate Jackie Tohn, who plays Noah's sister-in-law Esther. Tohn and Bell are best friends in real life. The show's cumulative viewership since 2024 exceeds 120 million views, with its seasons consistently appearing in the Top 10 rankings.
