- Erin Foster told Dax Shepard on his Armchair Expert podcast that she and the show's writers have "been writing you into the season," asking the actor if he would "say yes" to a fourth season of Nobody Wants This.
- Netflix has not yet renewed Nobody Wants This for Season 4 — Foster's pitch to Shepard was made without a renewal in place.
- Erin Foster said the idea for Shepard formed "a few weeks ago," that his name went "on the board," and that during the podcast it "pivoted and switched into something bigger" — the writers asked how many episodes he would want before deciding, noting the role would be "pivotal" and "important" without requiring him all season.
- Dax Shepard said he loves Season 3 and joked he should return to "f*ck this whole perfect party up" in Season 4.
- Bill Lawrence ended Shepard's six-year onscreen acting hiatus, which began after 2020's Buddy Games, by recruiting him for the second season of Bad Monkey with scenes alongside Vince Vaughn; Foster quipped, "So we're catching you at the right time."
- Erin Foster said she has "more story to tell" in a potential Season 4 of the romantic comedy she created, inspired by her relationship with her husband Simon Tikhman.
- Adam Brody publicly shared his support for "Free Palestine," and the show has been the subject of discourse since, amid the Israel-Hamas conflict's ongoing impact on Gaza.
Why it matters: Netflix has not renewed the show for Season 4, yet Foster says the writers "have been writing you into the season" and that she has "more story to tell." Shepard, meanwhile, ended a six-year acting hiatus that began after 2020's Buddy Games with Bill Lawrence's Bad Monkey season 2.
