God Friended Me: Season One Ratings

Earlier this year, CBS introduced Living Biblically, a sitcom about a man who tried to live his life according to the Bible. It was cancelled after a handful of episodes had aired because of low ratings. Now, the network is looking at faith from another angle with a drama called God Friended Me. Will the drama succeed where the comedy failed? Will God Friended Me be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned. *Status update below.

A drama series airing on CBS, God Friended Me stars Brandon Micheal Hall, Violett Beane, Suraj Sharma, Javicia Leslie, and Joe Morton. Set in New York City, the series revolves around a thoughtful and outspoken podcaster named Miles(Hall). Miles is an atheist and that puts him at odds with his reverend father (Morton). Miles’ life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social media from a user named “God”. He eventually accepts and starts digging into his new friend’s account, convinced it’s a hoax. He partners with journalist Cara Bloom (Beane) and gets additional aide from his sister Ali (Leslie) and his hacker pal Rakesh (Sharma). Miles is convinced that the “God” account is an elaborate hoax and is devoted to uncovering the truth. In the meantime, he’s playing along and, in the process, seeing his life changed forever.
