Forkin' right. The Good Place Season 4 will be back on NBC later in 2019!
NBC is extending its stay in The Good Place.
The network officially confirmed The Good Place season 4 for the 2019/2020 television season. The pickup came with just four episodes left in season three. No episode number for The Good Place season 4 is set, but the previous seasons all consisted of 13 episodes. It’s just the second series renewal for NBC this season after they picked up another run for the Will & Grace revival back in March.
The early renewal will give creator Michael Schur plenty of time to chart a new direction for a series known for major plot-altering twists. The series has also delivered a ratings success for NBC as its highest-rated comedy. According to Deadline, the current season is averaging 4.6 million viewers in Live+7 ratings, and performs well in digital and time-adjusted viewership.
"Congratulations to Mike Schur and an exceptional cast and crew, all of whom collaborate to create a thoughtful, mind-bending and hysterical series unlike anything else on television," said Tracey Pakosta and Lisa Katz, co-presidents, scripted programming at NBC Entertainment said in a statement. "We can't wait to see what unexpected stories the new season will bring."
The Good Place stars Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, D’Arcy Carden, and Manny Jacinto. The show received two Emmy nominations in 2018: Danson for Outstanding Supporting Actor and Maya Rudolph for Outstanding Guest Role.
