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.

4/15 update: God Friended Me has been cancelled.
“God Friended Me” was such an uplifting and inspirational show; exactly what we need in these difficult and trying times that we live in. It is almost unbelievable to me that CBS would cancel it. It was so well written with recurring theses, interesting characters, and intriguing plot twists. I am very disappointed in CBS network execs for their extremely poor decision and I would ask that they please reconsider.
Finally a good wholesome show and you guys canceled it. What’s up with that? I loved the show and please reconsider renewing this amazing show.
In these difficult days shows like this reminds us that hope and faith do exist and even in tough time s good things can still happen!! Please renew God Friended Me!!!#
This is the best family show on TV!! It needs to be renewed!!
This is one of the best family shows on TV. I am very sad it was cancelled and wish you would reconsider!
The show should not be cancelled. It is heartwarming,real life.
Please don’t cancel it! It’s my favorite show! I look forward to it all week! We need positive programs especially now! Shows where problems are solved & end positively! A place where people can learn to face problems & work them out! A place where we learn how good it feels to be able to help someone for no ulterior motive!
I loved this series and hate to see it end. It was a wholesome show and we need more of this aired today.
No one asked me. Ratings don’t cover everyone. It’s a great family show. I was hoping for more.
I have watched this show from the first episode. It keeps your interest and the ending always makes me feel so good. The casting is perfect. I love each character. The show makes a perfect ending to Sunday evening. I am a huge fan. To have people care about others, who have a problem and help them solve it, is so refreshing in this critical world. Love this show and look forward to every show. Don’t let it be canceled. Please!!!!
it would help if you wouldn’t put other shows on in place of it so we got to wait a second or third Sunday to see it.
a show the whole family can watch , a lot of people are tired of cops and robbers shows give us something more like God friended me.
When I said safely finish 2nd season, I meant finish it when the coronavirus is behind us. If that means next summer 2021 or later if needed. And please renew season 3!
With times like this, with whats going on with coronavirus and the economy, a show that uplifts our soul is just what the god account would want for all of us. Please safely finish the second season and renew the 3rd one, as we all need something good in our lives now!
Please do not cancel God Friended Me! We need a choice like this in prime-time. Not everyone wants and needs action all the time. Real life has enough!
