Erin Fosterhas her fingers crossed forNobody Wants Thisseason 2!

The series creator, 42, opened up about the critical acclaim she’s received for the new Netflix romcom and whether or not season 2 was on the table.

The 10-episode series, which began streaming on Sept. 26, follows a budding romance between newly single rabbi Noah (Adam Brody) and sex podcaster Joanne (Kristen Bell) and a slew of naysayers, including their family and friends, who claim their relationship won’t work.

“We’re getting a really positive response,” Foster toldIndieWirebefore the show’s premiere. “And so I think the conversations have definitely started to happen about a potential season two.”

She continued, “The story in season one unfolds really slowly. So I think if there is a season two I would want to just kind of pick up where we leave off and continue to take it slow, because I don’t want us to get too far ahead of ourselves.”

“I want my show to be on the air as long as possible!” she joked.

Foster and her husband, Tikhman, went on to wed during aNew Year’s Eve celebration in 2019and welcomed their first child, a daughter, in May. And while Tikhman isn’t a rabbi, and the boatload of conflict that main characters Noah and Joanne encounter in the show wasn’t true for Foster and her husband, Foster has still described the series as a “love letter” to her marriage.

In an interview with theLos Angeles Times,Foster said thatthe storyline of the Netflix rom-com was very intentional.

“I think we need positive Jewish stories right now,” she explained. “I think it’s interesting when people focus on, ‘Oh, this is a stereotype of Jewish people,’ when you have a rabbi as the lead. A hot, cool, young rabbi who smokes weed. That’s the antithesis of how people view a Jewish rabbi, right?”

Foster said she hopes the 10-episode season offers a more lighthearted take on Jewish culture while still educating viewers on its challenges.

“What I really wanted to do was shed a positive light on Jewish culture from my perspective — my positive experience being brought into Jewish culture, sprinkling in a little fun [and] educational moments about things in Judaism that I love without it being heavy-handed,” she added. “Because I don’t think people want that in the show.”
