Although the hype around Nobody Wants This felt much bigger, the series received 5.9 million less views than the mystery thriller coming in at 9.6 million views.

However, the rom-com was recently renewed for a second season- and we cannot wait!

Announcing the news on Instagram, Netflix posted the killer kiss from the first series alongside the caption: 'Put down your ice cream. Nobody Wants This is returning for season 2!'

Although we cannot give you an exact answer as to when the second series will be released, creator Erin Foster did tell The Wrap,: 'I would love to do a Season 2; Kristen and Adam would love to do a Season 2, there’s so much more story to tell so if people like the show, then I would be really excited to keep telling it.'

In another interview, Erin told IndieWire: 'We’re getting a really positive response. And so I think the conversations have definitely started to happen about a potential Season 2.'

'The story in Season 1 unfolds really slowly. And so I think if there is a Season 2 I would want to just kind of pick up where we leave off and continue to take it slow, because I don’t want us to get too far ahead of ourselves. I mean, I want my show to be on the air as long as possible!'
