Nobody Wants This Season 3 Scores Netflix’s Best Returning Comedy Debut of 2025 Despite 28% Viewership Drop

Netflix’s romantic comedy Nobody Wants This returned for its third season on October 22, and while it still managed to top the streamer’s charts for returning scripted comedies this year, the numbers reveal a notable cooling. The premiere secured 6.2 million views in its first three days, landing at No. 2 on Netflix’s English-language TV list for the week of October 19–25. That’s enough to be the best opening weekend for a returning comedy in 2025—but it’s also a 28% decline from the Season 2 debut, which pulled in 8.6 million views in the same window last year. The drop suggests the Kristen Bell and Adam Brody-led series may be losing some momentum even as it remains Netflix’s top comedy draw. For Netflix, the data highlights both the enduring appeal of the show and the challenge of sustaining buzz in a crowded streaming landscape. With no other returning comedy coming close to these numbers in 2025, Nobody Wants This still holds the crown—but the shrinking audience could signal tougher conversations about the show’s future beyond its already-confirmed fourth season.
