Kristen Bell as Joanne and Adam Brody as Noah in episode 1 of ‘Nobody Wants This’ season 3. (Netflix)
Everybody wants this.
Netflix has released the official trailer for Nobody Wants This season 3. It finds Kristen Bell and Adam Brody back as the agnostic podcaster Joanne and unconventional rabbi Noah. Despite their differences, the pair are a loving couple who navigate their romantic relationship amid the challenges that get thrown their way.
Bell and Brody are joined by other series regulars Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons and Jackie Tohn.
One of the biggest updates in the season 3 trailer finds Joanne and Noah having moved in together. We also see Joanne going to an Intro to Judaism conversion class, where she meets a fellow classmate played by Andrew Rannells.
“I heard about you. You know, the hot rabbi blew up his life to be with you,” he tells Joanne.
“Uh, our story is a little bit more nuanced and much more romantic than that,” she responds.
He stares back at her and blinks unbelievingly. “OK,” he says.
The trailer also touches on the dynamic between Sasha (Simons) and Esther (Tohn) after they decided to separate back in season 2. It also hints at the underlying romantic tension between Sasha and Morgan (Lupe).
“I am done being seen as a liability. People think I’m not a perfect match for Noah, but I actually am,” Joanne says at the end of the trailer.
“Jo, there is no perfect. It’s perfect because it’s us,” Noah responds.
Nobody Wants This season 3 premieres on Netflix Oct. 22.

(WASHINGTON) — Reporters and producers from news organizations that President Donald Trump barred from the White House were back on the grounds after a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order to restore their passes.
Earlier Thursday, the lawyer for media organizations requested an emergency hearing as early as Thursday, telling a federal judge that the government has “already repeatedly” violated his temporary restraining order after the three news organizations were denied entry into the White House earlier in the day.
“Defendants have already repeatedly violated the Court’s Order. Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court set a hearing by videoconference or teleconference as soon as possible this morning,” Ted Boutrous wrote.
Judge Timothy Kelly ordered the government to respond to the plaintiffs’ notice of non-compliance by 12:30 p.m. ET Thursday.
In a declaration submitted by the White House in response to Kelly’s order, officials said that access had been restored as of 9:55 a.m.ET.
Around noon on Thursday, the outlets reported that they were beginning to be granted access to the White House grounds.
CNN reporter Betsy Klein, who had her hard pass taken on Saturday, and others, walked through a White House gate shortly after noon after her hard pass was given back to her. MSNOW correspondent Laura Barrón-López was also back on the campus Thursday afternoon.
Politico reported one of its reporters had also been granted access.
Earlier Thursday, Kelly granted CNN, Politico and MS NOW a temporary restraining order requiring the White House to restore the outlets’ hard-pass press credentials.
The order requires the defendants, excluding President Donald Trump, as well as their agents and representatives, to “immediately return, reinstate, and restore” the White House hard-pass press credentials held by employees of CNN, MS NOW and Politico.
Kelly granted the media organizations’ request in the ongoing case Cable News Networks, Inc. v. Trump after their credentials were revoked on Sept. 18, according to the court order.
Kelly expressed skepticism about the Trump administration’s argument that the stories it cited as justification for revoking the outlets’ press credentials raised national security concerns.
Kelly described the stories identified by the administration as “routine” and said he was “skeptical” that the government’s stated interest in safeguarding national security was the actual motivation for revoking the hard passes. He also noted that Trump did not mention national security concerns when he announced the ban.
“Nothing in the record that predates this suit suggests that the revocation of Plaintiffs’ hard passes was motivated by national security concerns,” Kelly said in the filing. “Certainly, that is not what President Trump said when he announced that he was “banning” Plaintiffs from the White House — instead, he focused on the alleged lack of truthfulness and negativity of Plaintiffs’ reporting.”
In a hearing on Wednesday, Kelly signaled that he believes the White House failed to follow the process established by earlier court cases to terminate a reporter’s credential.
“I think it is fair to say that the process that the court laid out in those two cases – the circuit laid out in those two cases – wasn’t followed here,” he said.
Boutrous focused on that due process argument near the end of the hearing, telling the court that the White House’s “Alice in Wonderland process” for terminating the credentials is “arbitrary” and “irrational.”
“It’s not due process when there’s been a prejudgment of the issue. Clearly, that’s happened,” Boutrous said. “They’re going to keep playing games, moving the ball. That’s not due process.”
Justice Department lawyer Michael Velchik argued that the notice the White House provided in letters sent after 10 p.m. Tuesday night, days after the ban took effect, was enough. He also suggested the outlets’ responses might convince Trump to change his mind about the ban.

Taylor Swift will debut a star-studded music video for her new single, “Patient Zero,” during Sunday night’s 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.
The teaser for the video was released Thursday, revealing that along with Swift, the video stars Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell. Swift directed the visual.
“Patient Zero” is one of four new songs Swift is releasing on Friday.
Swift said in a social media post Wednesday that the new songs were created while she was celebrating the success of her 2025 album, The Life of a Showgirl, which was last year’s top-selling album, according to Billboard.
“I took a trip to Sweden to celebrate with Max [Martin] and Shellback, my two collaborators on this album,” Swift said Wednesday. “Really we just wanted to reflect and take in how grateful we were for the moment we were in, but there was a studio there and we did what we do when we feel anything at all: We wrote more songs.”
The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, which includes four new songs, is out on Friday and available to preorder and save now, she added.
Just two days after the songs are released, Swift is scheduled to receive the inaugural MTV VMA Artist Director Honors at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.
The award recognizes “groundbreaking music artists whose work behind the camera has expanded the possibilities of music video and advanced the art of visual storytelling,” according to MTV.
Swift is nominated for nine awards at this year’s ceremony, including video of the year and artist of the year.

(WASHINGTON) — Dr. Heidi Overton is appearing before a Senate committee on Thursday for her confirmation hearing as the next commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.
Overton was nominated in August by President Donald Trump, who described her in a post on social media as a “ROCKSTAR in my Administration.”
She is sitting before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) committee, where she is likely to face questions about childhood vaccines and the abortion drug mifepristone.
If confirmed, Overton will be the second person to lead the FDA after the previous commissioner, Marty Makary, resigned following public clashes with lawmakers, major pharmaceutical companies and Trump over fruit-flavored vapes.
Kyle Diamantas has served as acting FDA commissioner since May 2026.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., chair of the HELP committee, began the hearing by asking Overton if the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine Is lethal. Overton replied it is not.
When asked if the vaccine is safe and effective, Overton reiterated that the vaccine is safe and effective against measles.
“Are there any vaccines on the U.S. market right now which are unsafe?” Cassidy asked.
“Senator, every vaccine on the U.S. market right now is safe and effective, according to the FDA,” Overton said.
Cassidy attempted to press Overton on whether she disagreed with the president on the safety and efficacy of the MMR vaccine, but Overton deflected from answering directly.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wa., asked Overton if she believes mifepristone is safe and effective. Kennedy launched an FDA safety review of the drug last year.
“I know that it has met the safety and efficacy standard according to the FDA review,” Overton replied.
Murray expressed concern over an article she said Overton published three years ago, which she said described medication abortion as dangerous to women.
She also asked if Overton believed an IUD is an abortifacient, which is a substance used to induce an abortion or terminate a pregnancy. Overton did not answer directly.
“If I’m confirmed as FDA commissioner, I’ll be fully briefed on all their prior decisions and make determinations according to the standards of safety and efficacy,” Overton said.
She has espoused anti-abortion views and supported reductions to the childhood immunization schedule. At the executive order signing, she touted the use of what she called “gold-standard science” and restoring vaccination authority to parents.
Overton was nominated for the job, in part, because she is a loyalist of the president, two sources familiar with the nomination tell ABC News.
She’s been described as a loyal staffer, particularly in the presidents’ efforts to overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule, according to a former senior administration official.
“Why would you not want your own loyalist in there?” the source said about Trump’s choice, adding “She [Overton] kind of goes along with things.” The former official supports Overton but has previously acknowledged that, “She’s been in the world of politics for a long time and understands everything’s about loyalty.”
Overton is a physician with a doctor of medicine degree from the University of New Mexico and also holds a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University.
Prior to her role as deputy assistant to the president for domestic policy, she was vice chair of the America First Policy Institute’s (AFPI) Center for a Healthy America, where Overton was also the chief policy officer, a nonprofit that aims to advance policies that it says put the American people first. AFPI was run by Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins before Rollins was tapped to join the president’s Cabinet.
Several Trump administration officials held positions there before he was reelected, including Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
Prior to the hearing, Cassidy expressed “strong concerns” about Overton’s nomination because of her participation in the White House executive order overhauling the childhood vaccine schedule.
“That alone is almost disqualifying,” Cassidy wrote in a post on X.
Cassidy, a physician and liver doctor, has long championed the efficacy of vaccines and has grilled Trump’s health officials on their willingness to stand up to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including recently installed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Dr. Erica Schwartz.
In a statement to ABC News, Democratic Women’s Caucus Chairwoman Teresa Leger Fernández slammed the nomination.
“I call on my colleagues in the Senate to reject her nomination,” Fernández wrote, adding “Overton has publicly denied scientific fact and repeatedly launched conspiratorial attacks against our right to abortion access, the safety of mifepristone, and Planned Parenthood.”
Fernández added: “She is not qualified to serve as FDA Commissioner, and her extremist beliefs and loyalty to the Trump administration will put the lives of millions of women at risk.”
In a statement, Dr. Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security, also criticized her nomination.
“The fact that Dr. Overton played a central role in an executive order that shrinks the childhood vaccine schedule and calls for splitting MMR into shots that don’t exist, all without new evidence, calls into question her scientific judgement,” Adalja said. “The fact that she has garnered the praise of the nation’s chief anti-vaccine propagandist, Secretary Kennedy, is also concerning.”

A Glee reboot is officially in the works.
Ryan Murphy gave an update on a revival of the musical series to Entertainment Tonightthis week, saying a script has been written.

He also said he’s been in touch with some of the original cast members.
“I’ve been in touch with around 10 of the original cast members, and it’s very sweet,” he said. “They’ve all had a lot of questions, but they all were very enthusiastic about the idea.”
“Nobody’s read it, so I don’t know, we’ll see,” he added. “I mean, I vowed to myself that I wanted to write a couple of them to see what people think, particularly the cast, ’cause we were very close when we were making it.”
Glee aired on Fox for six seasons, from 2009 to 2015. It followed a high school glee club and starred Lea Michele, the late Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch and more.

(NEW YORK) — Kelsey Benson said she was laid off from a job in sales earlier this month, leaving her without health insurance at a time when price hikes are weighing on the rest of her budget.
The monthly out-of-pocket cost of Benson’s name-brand medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder jumped from $120 to $500, she said. That sudden expense came at a time she was already struggling with rising rent and utility costs, she said.
“You should not have to wear yourself down to nothing to be able to live,” said Benson, 32, who lives in Queens, New York.
The financial strain has complicated Benson and her partner’s potential plans for buying a house and having a child, she said.
“The dream, many people have been told, is you get the white picket fence, the house,” Benson said. “It’s not attainable.”
Benson is hardly the only person getting hammered by price hikes. A monthslong surge of inflation set off by the Iran war has driven up costs nationwide for gasoline, groceries and other products, squeezing many household budgets.
Shoppers expect inflation to rise even more over the next year, according to a recent University of Michigan consumer survey, while individuals’ view of their financial outlook has worsened.
In response to rising prices, a key long-term Treasury rate hit its highest level in nearly two decades earlier this month, even before the Federal Reserve raised benchmark borrowing costs. The rise in borrowing costs pushed up rates for loans like credit cards and mortgages, threatening to worsen the financial crunch.
“A lot of people across America have cut the expenses that they can cut,” Ted Rossman, a financial analyst at nonprofit advisory firm Money Management International, told ABC News. “They feel like they can’t catch a break.”
Drew Davis, 26, a law student in New York City, said the recent surge in prices dawned on him in the meat section at his local grocery store.
During a shopping trip this summer, Davis said he noticed prices for his preferred types of beef and chicken had climbed $1 or $2 since he began law school three years ago.
“I’ll buy, like, fattier beef, or I’ll buy chicken instead of beef mostly, just because it’s cheaper a lot of the time,” Davis said.
Davis, who is financing his education with student loans, said his debt factors into spending decisions such as where he lives and what he buys amid an economic environment he described as “intense.”
Prices rose at an annual rate of 3.4% in August, the most recent month on record, federal government data showed. Inflation stands more than a percentage point higher than the Federal Reserve’s target rate of 2%.
The average price of a gallon of gas in the U.S. is $4.47, according to AAA, marking a 50% jump since the war broke out.
Grocery prices have increased more than 20% over the last five years, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data showed.
“People are feeling what’s happened the last several years,” Rossman said. “The accumulated toll is really stacking up.”
Steve Prentice, 70, who is semi-retired and works part-time at a yarn store in Tennessee, said the most noticeable price increase is gas.
“This is the first time I can recall gas being above $4 [a gallon],” Prentice said.
The cost crunch prompted Prentice and his wife to seek out bargains on groceries. Prices at all of the chain supermarkets nearby have “generally gone up,” Prentice said, forcing him and his wife to turn to lower-priced stores.
“Their prices seem a little bit more stable, but even they have gone up,” Prentice said.
