We’re just weeks away from the return of Nobody Wants This, and the team behind it is making sure we stay fed. Between sneak peeks, cast updates and some cryptic episode titles, they’re dropping breadcrumbs that have us counting down the days until it's back on our screens.

ICYMI, Nobody Wants This was created by Erin Foster and executive produced by her sister, Sara Foster. Season one (full review here) followed the unlikely (but surprisingly adorable) couple Joanne (Kristen Bell), an agnostic, outspoken podcaster and Noah (Adam Brody), a kindhearted rabbi. Both Bell and Brody earned nominations at the Emmy's, Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and Critics Choice Awards. (Brody even took home a Critics Choice win.)

So what do we know about Nobody Wants This season two?

First off, the release date: On June 1, Netflix officially announced that season two will hit the streamer on October 23.

The reveal came at the end of a fun video featuring Bell, Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons and Jackie Tohn answering questions about season one.

We also have a little intel on the plot. According to an infographic shared by The O.C. alum Brody himself:

“The upcoming season will continue to explore the complex relationship between Joanne and Noah, delving deeper into themes of personal sacrifice and growth amidst cultural and religious differences.”

And then, perhaps most intriguing of all, we got a look at the episode titles. There will be ten episodes in total, all dropping on the same day but only eight titles have been revealed so far:

1. Dinner Party
2. The Taker
3. The Unethical Therapist
4. Leave It at the Tree
5. Anything Can Happen
6. When You Know, You Know
7. Valentine’s Day
8. A Better Rabbi

I might be side-eyeing a few of these but it's the last two that haven't been released that have me asking, "what are they hiding?"

Oh, and the cast is getting a fun update too. Leighton Meester (yes, Gossip Girl alum and Brody’s real-life wife) is joining season two as Abby, a mommy influencer and, plot twist, Joanne’s childhood nemesis, according to Variety.

With all this tea, how can you not be hyped for season two? See you on October 23.

In the meantime, season one of Nobody Wants This is streaming now on Netflix.
