Erin Foster Fears 'Nobody Wants It' Will Lead to Her Own Divorce — Because It Gets a Season 2 Pickup

Well, nobody wants to that.

Erin Foster was worried she'd get a divorce for her new Netflix rom-com series “Nobody Wants This,” starring Adam Brody and Kristen Bell.

“When I met Simon, and settled into this healthy relationship, I was in the process of converting to Judaism,” Foster, 42, recalled during a recent appearance on the “Ladygang” podcast.

Thinking her romance with husband Simon Tichman, 40, would be an interesting show idea, she decided to sell it to 20th Century Fox.

Telling his partner that he sold a show about the two of them meeting and that his family didn't like him, Tikhman said: “You can't write about my family.”

“Really?” “Ladygang” said one of the members, surprised by the revelation. Foster then admitted that she believed the show would affect her relationship.

“I don't want to do this,” she recalls telling herself. “It'll get me a divorce!”

In a panic, Foster then called his father-in-law and said, “I just want to be honest with you, I sold this show…the concept of the show is…”

His response? “Just don't make us look poor.”

The final episode ended on a cliffhanger as Netflix just renewed the series for a season 2. Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bazaria announced the news at the Bloomberg Screentime conference in LA on Thursday.

“Making 'Nobody Wants It' will forever be a career highlight for me. The incredible cast, crew, producers and executive have all made it to the show today, and to feel the audience's reaction to this series now that it's out in the world has been more than I could have dreamed of,” Foster said in a message. statement

“I'm so lucky to be able to continue this story, and to do it with Jenny Conner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, who I've become such a fan of since 'Girls'… Justice for healthy relationships is the most romantic!”

Season 2 includes Conner and Kaplan as executive producers and showrunners. Nora Silver will also be an executive producer for the upcoming season.

Working on 'Nobody Wants It' is a dream come true. Erin is a rare creator with a crystal clear voice and a truly collaborative spirit,” Conner told Netflix. “I'm a true fan of Erin's show and feel lucky to be back in a room with two of my favorites, Bruce Kaplan and Sarah Hayward from 'Girls.'”

Kaplan is excited to join the rom-com family, saying “The show is such a unique and beautiful show and I'm already having the best time working on it.”

“Conversations are definitely starting to happen about a potential Season 2,” Foster told IndieWire last month. “The story in Season 1 unfolded really slowly. So I think if there's a season 2, I'd like to pick up where I left off and take it slowly, because I don't want us to get too ahead of ourselves.”

“We're getting a really positive response,” he continued. “And so I think conversations are definitely starting to happen about a potential Season 2.”

Although the details of “Nobody Wants It” are not real-life events, the emotions surrounding Foster's experience remain the same.

Like the show's Joan, a sex-positive podcast host played by Bell, Foster falls in love with Tikhman. Although she didn't become Jewish — and she's not a rabbi like Brody's Noah — Foster converted to Judaism before marrying her husband in 2019.

Foster grew up in a non-religious home while Tikhman is devoted to Judaism and wants to pass the religion on to his daughter Noah, according to reports.

“We didn't come from similar backgrounds,” Foster said on his podcast with his sister Sara Foster. “He comes from a much more traditional place. I come from a more unconventional place. When we got together we were like, 'How is this going to work?'” (The siblings are the daughters of record producer David Foster.)

A notable comparison between the show and Erin's real life is how the pair got along with each other's families. In episode 6, Noah meets Joan's mother while carrying sunflowers in gym clothes, giving Joan the “ick”.

In reality, Tikhman brought sunflowers for Erin's mother, which made her worry that he was too caring.

“It's not always like real things that I can point to,” Erin told TODAY. “The emotional journey, I would say, is very accurate to the experience of meeting my husband.”

The 10-episode romantic comedy series is currently streaming on Netflix.
