In its first season, God Friended Me was CBS’ seventh-highest-rated scripted series. Will viewers stick with it in season two or, will they move on to something new? Will God Friended Me be cancelled or renewed for season three on CBS? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
God Friended Me stars Brandon Micheal Hall, Violett Beane, Joe Morton, Suraj Sharma, Javicia Leslie, and Erica Gimpel, with Adam Goldberg and Jessica Lu recurring. 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 father (Morton), a former reverend. Miles’ life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social media from a user named “God”. He eventually accepts the request 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.

What do you think? Do you like the God Friended Me TV series on CBS? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
4/15 update: God Friended Me has been cancelled.
Please renew God Friended Me for a third season and beyond. In my opinion this is one of the best shows on t.v. especially during these severely devastating times of covid-19. This show is inspiring, uplifting, and brings hope. The cast is amazingly talented and so are the script writers. The diversity -multi-ethnicity, ages, orientations, etc. bring so much additional depth, wisdom, and beauty to this extraordinary program. Every show since it’s beginning offers so much heart-warming, valuable, life affirming lessons dealing with often profoundly challenging issues. I am so grateful for such a uniquely precious gift as God Friended… Read more »
I would love to see God Friended Me renewed for a 3ed season. My children and I watch it every week!
Please renew this show. It’s good to see a show that isn’t violent or hateful; but is uplifting and inspiring as well.
I agree, this show proves you do not have to have violence to be successful. With so much going on now we all need hope and faith that things will get better. Also it is the character of a person that manners the most, not what they look on the outside this is another quality the show brings. Consequently this show has to be renewed.
This and The Good Place…I watch religiously every Sunday and Thursday, respectively. TGP is done and over with, and its morality concepts make you think about how you live and act in your life. GFM is wholesome and is about helping other people, but I think Miles is also searching for his own truths, being the “Millenial Prophet” in his podcast. We all are in search of our own truths, and The Good Place and God Friended Me are 2 shows that somewhat make one think about their place and purpose here on Earth.
Really like it we love to watch from the beginning until now. My family favorite every Sunday. More more.
More more of God friended me please please. GOD friended me God friended me❤❤❤
God friended me got me hooked on day one, when the show first came on TV. Please renew the show for a 3rd season.
Honestly, I believe God Friended me is unique to television these days. I am 72 years old and it is our households favorite TV Program. Interesting, touching Stories, about helping one another in life. A great role model
I love this show. I look forward to it every Sunday and am very disappointed when it has been preempted or otherwise replaced by some other show.
Please!!! Renew!!! I love this show.
God Friended Me is a bright spot on Sunday night. My family enjoys watching it together, and we hope it continues.
I would be extremely disappointed if the company cancels GOD FRIENDED ME .I have watched it since the beginning and think it one of Very Few decent shows. It helps us think of God.
If this show is not renewed for another season I will NOT be watching CBS for any reason.
Definitely renewed for another season
Please, please keep the show!!! Love it! I just thought they were on hiatus because of all the award shows and the super bowl. I’m so ready for more episodes of GFM.
