Series Profile: The Good Place Returns to Its Roots for Its Fourth and Final Season

What Is It?

When a woman dies and is sent to the Good Place by accident, she does everything she can to keep from being found out and sent to the Bad Place. But what if this was all part of a larger plan? Following is what creator Michael Schur has to say about the upcoming fourth season:

The way that the third season ended was that they’re going to repeat this grand experiment of Michael’s neighborhood with new people and see what happens when it’s new people. Their wager is that any group of people, if given a certain amount of love, support, empathy and help, can become better. That essentially no one is beyond rehabilitation.

Status

The upcoming fourth season of The Good Place will be its last and creator Michael Schur had this to say about the show coming to an end:

This show isn’t a typical show where the goal is to do it as long as we can and as many episodes as we can. It was never designed that way — we do 13 episodes per year from the beginning. I knew I needed to map this out in the same way that I mapped out the first season, I needed to map out the whole show. I didn’t feel like it needed to be definitive but I needed to have a sense of how long I thought the idea could sustain itself. I came to the conclusion pretty quickly that it was four seasons.
