TV show description:
A drama series set in New York City, God Friended Me revolves around a thoughtful and outspoken podcaster named Miles Finer (Hall). Miles is an atheist and that puts him at odds with his father, Reverend Arthur Finer (Morton), a beloved and longtime preacher at Harlem’s Trinity Church.
Miles’ life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social media from a user named “God”. He ignores and declines the request but it keeps coming back so, out of curiosity, he accepts and the mystery deepens as he digs deeper into his new friend’s account.
He’s led to Cara Bloom (Beane), an online journalist who’s been struggling with writer’s block. Intrigued by Miles’ story, Cara joins him in investigating friend suggestions from “God” and they end up helping others in need — while learning things about themselves.
Miles and Cara are aided by Ali Finer (Leslie), Miles’ supportive sister. She’s a doctoral psych student by day and a bartender by night. Also lending a hand is Rakesh Singh (Sharma), Miles’ best friend and a sometimes hacker who needs some help on the social side of his life.
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.
Episode #42 — The Mountain
Miles is forced to examine his lack of faith more than ever before when the God Account sends him his sister, Ali, as a friend suggestion on the eve of her cancer surgery.
First aired: April 26, 2020.
What do you think? Do you like the God Friended Me TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season on CBS?
I LOVE this show please do not cancel it.
I love it—especially how the separate stories get connected together. I’m so glad it’s returning.

I hope this show gets RENEWED!! I LOVE IT!!!! Can’t wait for season 2
Love God Friended Me….another season please!
Great show! Love it!!
Please keep!
I think (no, I know) God Friended Me is one of the best shows around! Let’s just say, I schedule my personal life activities around this show, so that nothing interrupts my 8:30pm, Sunday evening time slot. I shut off my phone, don’t do laundry or dishes…nothing else matters during the time ‘My Show’ is on.
My sincere congratulations to the whole cast for doing such an excellent job!
So, in other words…YES, the God Friended Me show should most definitely be renewed for another season on CBS!!! Duh!
AMEN KAREN M!!!
This is a great show hope it goes for a while
My husband and I both love this show. We’d hate for it to be canceled. So many crappy shows have been kept. Like South Park and sponge bob square pants other similar shows. You finally find a good show we really like and most of th3 time the’re canceled. Please keep this one going.
We need more shows like God Friended Me, please keep this series going. I can watch with my nieces and nephews and we have awesome conversations after about helping others and how amazing God is working in our lives. The show is a blessing.
My husband and I love this show and watch it faithfully because it is a breath of fresh air, so unlike everything else on TV. (And my hubby is not a believer so that speaks volumes.) Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
