Netflix next year.Based loosely on the real-life experiences of creator Erin Foster, Kristen Bell’s Joanne is an outspoken, agnostic podcaster who embarks on a relationship with Adam Brody’s unconventional Jewish rabbi Noah Roklov.While attending an FYC event at Netflix’s Tudum Theater in Hollywood, Brody and Bell spoke to Variety about what’s coming next in the show.“We’re shooting in February and hopefully they’ll have it out by September next year,” said Brody of Season 2.“We’ve added some delicious people to the mix, [new showrunners] Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, which is very exciting,” Bell said. “Nothing has been completely decided yet, but the writers have been in it for about a month.

The season is roughly boarded out and I’m very happy.”“I want it to be good, and that can take many forms,” Brody added. “I’m not too invested in the twists and turns as long as they’re true and smart and fun to play.”Bell also spoke about what they have to prove now the show has been as popular as it has, including to an unexpected demographic.“I don’t know if someone is tracking this or it’s just numbers in my head, but about seven people told me they started watching the show because their dads recommended it,” Bell said. “The algorithm is bullseye-ing dads.
