by

Tenga cuidado, este artículo contiene spoilers de la temporada 2 de Nobody Wants This. La creadora Erin Foster y la estrella Kristen Bell discuten la decisión de Joanne de convertirse al judaísmo y cómo afecta su relación con Noah (interpretado por Adam Brody) al final de la temporada. A lo largo de la temporada, Joanne lucha entre convertirse o no a medida que se desarrolla su romance con Noah.

Al final de la segunda temporada de Nobody Wants This, la decisión de Joanne de no convertirse al judaísmo parece provocar una división permanente entre ella y Noah. Sin embargo, esto no dura. Con el apoyo de Esther, Joanne se da cuenta de que realmente quiere abrazar el judaísmo y convertirse, y la temporada termina cuando ella y Noah se reconcilian.

En una conversación con Tudum, Bell compartió que para que la relación entre Joanne y Noah tuviera éxito, Joanne tendría que convertirse al judaísmo. Sin embargo, ella quiere tomar esa decisión porque es realmente lo que quiere, no simplemente complacerlo. Puede encontrar los pensamientos completos de Bell a continuación:

Como amante del cine, inmediatamente vi el núcleo de la historia: Noah y Joanne se sienten profundamente atraídos el uno por el otro, pero hay un gran obstáculo. Él necesita que ella abrace su fe para estar juntos, pero se niega a pedirle que lo haga solo para complacerlo. Y es comprensible que se resista a cambiar quién es por alguien, incluso por alguien a quien ama. Crea una situación increíblemente tensa y frustrante para ambos y, sinceramente, es fascinante ver cómo se desarrolla.

En sus escritos, Foster explora la lucha de Joanne con su identidad y si realmente pertenece a la fe judía. Joanne queda tan preocupada por estas dudas que no se da cuenta, hasta el final de la segunda temporada, de que el judaísmo en realidad le está proporcionando todo lo que ha estado buscando. Aquí está la explicación detallada de Foster:

She’s questioning whether she wants, can, or even is Jewish, and is even considering pretending to be. Deep down, she’s longing for a sense of belonging and meaning – something to provide her with stability, direction, moral guidelines, and a connection to the past. Judaism, she realizes, could offer her all of that.

She’s really appreciating learning about Judaism, but she jokingly wonders if she’ll suddenly be declared Jewish by a direct intervention from God.

Earlier in the first season, Esther strongly distances herself from Joanne. So, Foster appreciated that Esther was the one who helped Joanne have a realization in the second season. The actors Bell and Tohn’s real-life friendship also made this storyline particularly satisfying.

It was great to see Esther’s character development. She initially dismissed Joanne, but by the end of Season 2, she was welcoming her. It’s also fun knowing that the actresses, Kristen and Jackie, are close friends in real life, which made the scenes even better.

The first season of Nobody Wants This concludes with a mirrored scene: while Noah initially ran to Joanne, this time Joanne runs to him. The show’s creator, Foster, and her team intentionally crafted this parallel ending to emphasize the romantic connection. They wanted to highlight Noah’s acceptance of Joanne, despite her faith, and the earlier scene with Esther already established Joanne’s intention to convert.

We decided to focus on a romantic moment instead of a religious reveal. The core of the scene is his declaration that he chooses her regardless of her background. We didn’t need her to announce a hidden religious identity, as the audience already anticipates that reveal.

The series Nobody Wants This is based on creator Hannah Foster’s personal experiences, including her conversion to Judaism before marrying her husband. Therefore, Joanne’s conversion feels natural, and the show handles it in a way that feels authentic and well-developed.

Joanne is slowly becoming more involved in Jewish life, enjoying things like weekly dinners with Noah’s family and learning to see things from different viewpoints. It’s not until their relationship appears to be over that she understands how meaningful these experiences have become to her and how strongly she feels connected to them.

While Joanne’s potential conversion to Judaism isn’t the foundation of Noah’s love for her – he loves her for who she is now – it makes their intimate moment at the end of the season even more meaningful. If the show gets a third season, it will likely continue to explore the complex connection between love and faith as Joanne goes through the process of converting and their relationship develops.
