Kristen Bell will be directing an episode next season, she will be the first cast member to direct an episode of the series. I look forward to seeing what she does.
The Good Place Season 3
- Thread starter JD
- Start date
I'm not too sad about that. I'd rather The Good Place know it's ending and have a real conclusion than go on forever and get canceled suddenly after a couple mediocre seasons with no direction.
I read this headline as, "The Good Place to get the planned ending it deserves".

That’s a bummer. At least they can go out telling the story they wanted to tell and not have NBC being the ones cancelling the show.
Yup, that's exactly how I feel. I wish more shoes had that opportunity. It's certainly better than it was a decade ago when LOST began the trend, but it still has a ways to go.
Not terrible. It’s a show that had had huge changes each year, so makes sense to wrap a coherent story rather than start dragging it out until it sucks. They’ve kept moving and not fallen into a status quo, so good for them to choose to end it early on their own terms and the story they wanted to tell
If it's on the writers terms, I think it's just right rather than too soon.
Michael Schur has gone into details why he's ending the show after four seasons:
Makes sense to me.
I didn’t feel like it needed to be definitive but I needed to have a sense of how long I thought the idea could sustain itself. I came to the conclusion pretty quickly that it was four seasons. There were times early on where I felt like maybe five and maybe it’s three. (Laughs.) Once I settled on four seasons, I didn’t tell anyone — except the writers. I didn’t tell the studio or network because I wanted to make sure that I was right and I wanted to leave open the possibility that as we as a team developed the show, I wanted to allow the possibility that something could change and there was more I wanted to do.
One of the things I felt with the Season 3 finale was how repetitive the show was starting to get. It just feels like the show was going in circles with the philosophy, memory deletions, and stuff like that. I hope they actually make it to some kind of real good place, or at least have a satisfying ending.
Of course I would love to see the show go on for a few more years, but 50ish episode really is a pretty good run.
It feels like this next season is building towards the final outcome (I hope), it makes sense.
I feel the same way but for some reason thought 5 seasons would work out the best. No idea why.
Last night D'arcy, Jameela and Marc play partygames with Jane Lynch.

Just finished the third season on Netflix, and now that I know the 4th season will be the last, we'll get this all wrapped up in a neat little bow and it will have a great sendoff as it deserves. Also, this means I can start saving up complete series DVD money now.
Love this show.
While I wish they would keep making more seasons I respect the writer not trying to drag it out for another season. I'd much rather have a well written ending to the story than a watered down "good enough" ending a season later.
Can't wait to see what happens in the new neighborhood this season.
Disco Janet? Should be amusing when she shows up.
