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.
I am very sorry to see the Series end. I looked forward to watching the show, it gave me hope. God Friended Me was a very pleasant change from the normal programs. It made me think, hope that the the world could be a better place. Morality, look for the good in people, things are not always as they seem, give everyone a second chance. There is a reason why things happen. Todays politicians are on another planet. The things that some of them put out makes me wonder What PLANET ARE YOU FROM?? Plans that they put forth are… Read more »
Please reconsider and renew “God Friended Me”! It deserves a season 3!
Big mistake taking God friended me off the air. There is a lot of junk on Tv. It is a shame something, nice and clean has to die. I wish what I have to say would make a difference.
Please renewed it, I loved it, not much else to watch on television that’s worthwhile
Keep God Friended Me on air. Very good show with a positive message. One of the best shows on CBS.
Yes, I loved this program and so did 5 of my friends. So sorry that it was cancelled!
It was a very positive uplifting show. I loved watching it. There is so much trash on tv these days and it is so disappointing for this show to be cancelled.
I hate that God Friended Me has been canceled!! It was a great show with food for thought. It should not be canceled!!!!
I loved the show God Friended Me , so so disappointed its been cancelled, It’s great to have a show that’s free of violence & a great family Sunday evening show !!!! Seriously need to reconsider the decision!!!!1
I am so upset that it has been cancelled. It still has better ratings than a lot of shows. It is a great feel good show with many really great diverse characters. We need more easy going shows about people doing/being good! They need to change the writers. They never built out the characters properly. They were all over the place with storylines about girlfriends etc. Also who cares who is the Hod account, we never knew who Charlie was on Charlie’s angels! It was too convoluted and each ‘finding’ didn’t seem to relate to any others. Bring it back,… Read more »
This is a very good show. My family looks to each new episode. It saddens me with the trash shows that stay on tv.
I enjoyed the show. It was right for this time in America. The only positive show on tv. It truly helped me with restoring my faith in people.

Surely this show was very much prevalent for today’s issues in life!!! Actors were
believable and I could still be entangled in the plot and would hope producers
will continue this series for years to come. They brought back Last Man Standing
after the audience were involved in restoring more episodes. Let’s group together
and hope for more series yet to come.
No it should not be canceled agree with beckys post
it’s a shame this show is canceled. Its a very uplifting wholesome show and we don’t have many of those these days. I hope Netflix picks it up.
No it should not be cancelled.
I am very sad to see this show cancelled. It is a wonderful show the whole family can watch. It teaches us that everyone matters abd helping people is a good thing. Also, there is always hope . Please keep this on we need the positive message it depicts.
