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.

I am deeply saddened to hear that my favorite television show is being cancelled. With all the nonsense shows that are put on television, God Friended Me was a feel good series. No violence, no sick drama, no nonsense just an incredibly well played out show. It was always uplifting and made the world just a little better place. To the cast and crew of God Friended Me, thank you for all of you hard work that produced an amazing series.
I am heartbroken that you are canceling this show! It’s the best new show I’ve seen in a long time! It’s one of the few feel good shows ever made and, in my opinion, the best! The cast is terrific. We need a show like this!
God friended me is a wonderful show. One of only four I watch each week. Please bring it back.
PLEASE RECONSIDER! I LOVE this show-this is one of 2 shows we watch as a family each week (Survivor is the other!) This was so inspiring-and we need that NOW more than EVER!!! Please bring it back! The cast is AMAZING! I would love to see the guy shut down the app only to have Miles get another friend suggestion! PLEASE RECONSIDER!

God friended me is the only show on the three major networks that I watch. Canceling it would be a terrible decision. The show is well done and is refreshing. My two all-time favorite TV shows were Andy Griffith and Gunsmoke, both CBS shows. I honestly think that God friended me has the potential to be another all-time great show. Wake up CBS! Absolutely do not cancel!!!!!!!!!!!
The show is unique in all of TV land … so much better than the profanity and violence of cable and the endless police procedurals (so derivative of themselves) on networks. I suspect the show proved unpopular with pickup truck sellers.
Please do not cancel.I look forward to Sundays to see my favorite characters and have time spent enjoying the beat shoe on T.V.
God Friended Me,.
What else is there to say. Positively captivating, and Talks about God,. Hopefully people will see how this shows the hope People get from believing in God, and how he works in our lives.
My wife and I watch this show every week, Best show on Sunday evening, Please Don’t cancel, brings joy to our house. :- ).
I really think it’s a great show do please don’t cancel it.
Definitely renew the season. God friended me. It is one of our favorite shows and as a family we really enjoy it.
I look forward to this show every Sunday evening. Really enjoy whatching it. I like the calming effect it has on my weekend and start of the next week. I’d be delighted if the series continue.
Please renew… love this show
God friended me is the best show on the air. Very well written. One the whole family enjoys, and so needed especially at this particular place in time. I find very little uplifting anything on TV and would be disappointed if it was not available. Keep the brilliant writing and dialogue. It is a gift to watch and grateful someone came up with the idea for us all. thx u
