What’s next for The Good Place? Recently, creator Michael Schur and the cast spoke with TVLine and The Hollywood Reporter about the future of the NBC series.
The comedy stars Kristen Bell as Eleanor Shellstrop, an ordinary woman who mistakenly winds up in the “good place” after she dies. The cast also includes Ted Danson, D’Arcy Carden, Jameela Jamil, Manny Jacinto, and William Jackson Harper.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
After the shocking twist of the season one finale, Schur told TVLine that season two will see everybody “rebooted” because their memories have been erased. However, there’s still hope for Eleanor:
Everyone has been officially rebooted. But she wrote herself a note, which is the one thing that slipped through the cracks. … The original idea was that she writes it on her arm. But then we were like, ‘He would either see it, or when she was rebooted, it would disappear.’ And then we remembered — totally by accident, mind you — we had written a joke that Janet couldn’t eat anything, so when she was rebooted, she smashed a piece of birthday cake around her face. So then we were like, ‘Oh, that’s how she does it!’ It was a happy coincidence.”
Kristen Bell told THR that season two will be “just as explosive”:
You will see a complete reset of Eleanor. It will be fun and just as explosive. … It is crazy. I just kept asking, ‘How are you even going to show that? How did you think of that?’ I’m so impressed with our writers room.”
NBC has already renewed The Good Place for a second season.
What do you think? Have you seen The Good Place? Are you excited for season two?
This was an unexpected delight! The Great Cast had me watch it from the beginning. then the very quirkie storyline grabbed me. I am waiting to add this sparkling refreshing series the the only 3 others series that are fun and entertaining. All 35 adult (with their own homes) family members have stopped watching regular TV. They keep showing me tempting reasons to stop paying a large cable bill then only watching 6 series a week. None of us sit through tons of commercials anymore. I use my DVR for anything I want to watch, then prioritise + enjoy during… Read more »
This Show is the absolute best. I have shown the show on demand to friends and they LOVE it and can’t wait until the next season!!!
Not gonna didn’t think this show would be any good or last thru 1 season but I’m not gonna lie it won me over and now it’s one of my favorite shows….Kristen Bell is HIGHlarious and I love the rest of the cast too!!!!
I love the show, but hate the games the network is playing. Either get it back on the air, or don’t, but quit with the tempting the viewer stuff. If that goes on much longer, you’ll lose at least one viewer. Oh, and ours is a Nielsen house.
Love this oddball show! It is humorous without resorting to meanness. So fun to see Ted Danson in such a comic role. And Kristen is always so bubbly. Can’t wait to see what they have in store for us.
Feel free to cancel this one…. it’s ridiculous and just awful! YUK!
LOVE “The Good Place ” ~~ A comedy starring either Ted Danson or Kristen Bell would automatically go to the top of my favorites list. This has both amazing stars in roles that are perfectly tailored for them, & the writing is so smart & the premise so unique. I hope it continues for many more seasons … can’t wait for the new season premiere!
Its about time that a network started to think out of the box. This show is fresh and fun. Lets hope we can keep it non political. No sharia law nonsense!
Fun show ! Love the exotic British girl (Jameela Jamil ) It’s entertaining when a lot of comedy shows are just plain stupid .
Can’t wait. I love this show.
