Nobody Wants This : Netflix renouvelle la série pour une saison 3

À peine deux semaines après la sortie de la saison 2, Netflix confirme le retour de la comédie romantique « Nobody Wants This » pour une troisième saison, promettant de nouvelles péripéties pour Joanne et Noah. Les fans pourront suivre la suite des aventures de ce couple attachant mêlant amour, religion et amitié.

Une série qui séduit dès les premières saisons

Une annonce rapide après la saison 2
Netflix a officialisé le renouvellement de « Nobody Wants This » pour une troisième saison, à peine quinze jours après la diffusion de la deuxième. La nouvelle a été partagée sur les réseaux sociaux via une vidéo montrant Kristen Bell annonçant la bonne nouvelle aux membres du casting lors d’appels FaceTime personnalisés, provoquant l’enthousiasme des fans.

Un succès porté par des personnages attachants
La série raconte l’histoire de Joanne, interprétée par Kristen Bell, une podcasteuse agnostique spécialisée dans les questions de sexualité et de rencontres, et de Noah, un rabbin incarné par Adam Brody. La dynamique entre ces deux personnages, ainsi que leurs questionnements sur la religion et l’amour, constitue le cœur de la série et séduit un large public.

Les coulisses de la création et de la production

Une équipe créative reconnue
Créée par Erin Foster, la série bénéficie de l’expertise de Jenni Konner et Bruce Eric Kaplan, tous deux showrunners et producteurs exécutifs aux côtés de Kristen Bell, Steven Levitan et d’autres professionnels. La production est assurée par Disney’s 20th Television, garantissant un niveau de qualité élevé tant sur le plan scénaristique que technique.

Des témoignages enthousiastes des créateurs
Erin Foster a exprimé sa joie de continuer à explorer l’histoire de son couple favori à l’écran, tandis que Konner et Kaplan soulignent le plaisir de travailler avec une équipe talentueuse et un casting exceptionnel. La complicité entre créateurs et acteurs contribue au ton léger et émouvant de la série, apprécié par les spectateurs.

Des intrigues qui captivent les spectateurs

Les dilemmes de Joanne et Noah
La saison 2 explorait la relation croissante entre Joanne et Noah, confrontée à la question de la conversion de Joanne au judaïsme. Le final montrait Joanne semblant prête à franchir ce pas, après un échange significatif avec Esther, la belle-sœur de Noah, marquant un tournant dans leur histoire.

Des personnages secondaires au centre des intrigues
La série accorde également une place importante aux relations secondaires, notamment entre Morgan, la sœur de Joanne, et Sasha, le frère d’Esther. Les interactions et tensions entre ces personnages ajoutent de la profondeur à l’histoire et suscitent l’intérêt des spectateurs pour les développements futurs.

Un casting invité prestigieux

Des stars pour enrichir les intrigues
La saison 2 a accueilli plusieurs invités de renom, tels que Leighton Meester, Seth Rogen, Arian Moayed, Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky et Kate Berlant. Ces apparitions apportent de nouvelles dynamiques et renforcent l’attrait de la série pour un public varié.

Des performances qui marquent
Chaque acteur contribue à donner vie à des situations à la fois comiques et émouvantes, renforçant l’authenticité des relations et l’humour unique de la série. Les spectateurs peuvent ainsi suivre des arcs narratifs riches et captivants, en attendant avec impatience la saison 3.

Le renouvellement de « Nobody Wants This » pour une troisième saison confirme l’engouement autour de cette comédie romantique originale. Avec des intrigues profondes, un casting attachant et des épisodes riches en émotions, la série continue de séduire et de captiver les téléspectateurs. L’avenir du couple Joanne et Noah promet encore de nombreux rebondissements et surprises.

Favorite spy sagas based on true events – 2025 Rewrite

To this blog author, spy stories are among the most thrilling and intriguing literature that can be read. This is especially the case for those stories that are based on actual historic events. The working list below identifies my favorite books, movies, and mini-series that are based on real spy sagas – both those involving foreign adversaries and those detailing the actions of whistleblowers who reveal inappropriate spying and surveillance activities.

While there is some artistic license often employed in movies and mini-series, the basis for the story is still true. Meanwhile, non-fiction and biographical books tend to delve into the actual nitty-gritty details of the spy’s life, their espionage endeavors, as well as their efforts to avoid being caught.

Not all of the spies from these stories sneak around foreign capitals in search of important secrets. In fact, quite a few lived in plain sight (Agent Sonya and An Impeccable Spy – Richard Sorge) or were average citizens who find themselves drawn into espionage by circumstances and/or personal beliefs/ideology (The Courier, Official Secrets, and Snowden). Some spies strived to break the enemy’s codes (The Imitation Game), some silently lurk under the sea (Blind Man’s Bluff), while others oversaw an entire spy network (Spymistress).

As more espionage-related books are read and films/mini-series are watched, this list will be updated. I hope you enjoy these amazing stories as much as I do. Any suggestions on other true spy accounts to read or watch are most welcome. Peace!

Who set up Prince Kreshanaris?
Who wants him dead or thrown into prison?

Answers are difficult to find when you end up in custody of the royal guards after being marked as a criminal.

Even worse, said guards also grabbed a young Earthling woman who only wanted to help.

Tempest, another Korean show on Hulu, is also good, two episodes in.

It's what I expected and it's delivering even though it's a bit uneven and has some..odd editing.

This could go completely off track, or deliver a fun ride. Maybe both.

A quotation from Charles Mackay

The intrigues of unworthy courtiers to gain the favour of still more unworthy kings, or the records of murderous battles and sieges, have been dilated on, and told over and over again, with all the eloquence of style and all the charms of fancy; while the circumstances which have most deeply affected the morals and welfare of the people have been passed over with but slight notice, as dry and dull, and capable of neither warmth nor colouring.

Charles Mackay (1814-1889) Scottish poet, journalist, song writer
Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, “The South-Sea Bubble” (1841)
