Our Take On Nobody Wants This Season 2
Will It Break The Trend?
Several returning Netflix originals have seen concerning drops in viewership, includingThe Diplomat. The same is true forThe Recruit, which was recently cancelled. However, the main reason is the long gap between seasons due to delayed filming, which is seemingly playing a part in the dipping viewership. After theNobody Wants Thisseason 1 ending, and with new showrunners Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan at the helm, the romantic comedy has an advantage in that it’s returning to screens not long after debuting, with the expectation that it will come out at the end of the year.
