Nobody Wants This Writers Have Dax Shepard in Mind for Season 4

Dax Shepard could return to Nobody Wants This, but Netflix has not yet renewed the series for a fourth season.

A renewal is the streaming service's decision to order another season. Until that happens, the show is "on the bubble," meaning its future is still undecided. Netflix has not announced a decision on Nobody Wants This.

The series stars Kristen Bell as Joanne Williams, an agnostic podcaster, and Adam Brody as Rabbi Noah Roklov. Its creator and executive producer, Erin Foster, has now said that she and the writers have been writing Shepard into a possible fourth season. She asked him whether he would say yes, according to Deadline.

Foster described the role as pivotal and important. She said it would not require Shepard to be on screen for the whole season. She also said she has "more story to tell" if the show returns.

The conversation took place on Shepard's podcast, Armchair Expert, where he interviewed Foster and her sister, Sara Foster. Shepard has not had an onscreen acting role since the 2020 film Buddy Games. He has recently gone back to acting, and he has filmed a role in the upcoming second season of Apple TV's Bad Monkey.

Foster has spoken about other parts of the show's history too. She has discussed how fan complaints about Season 2 shaped Season 3, and she has talked about her own cameo in the series, as Yahoo Entertainment reported on October 27. She has also described the hard search to cast Noah, the role Brody plays. In 2025, Bell told E! News that she and Foster had felt some early tension between them.

What comes next depends on Netflix. A fourth season would bring back a writers' room, cast and crew, and the people who work behind the cameras. For now, none of that has been ordered. The show's fans, and the people who make it, will be waiting for the call.
