We have some really bad news for all you motherforkers out there: The Good Place the most important show on TV– aka – is going to the Bad Place forever and it’s never coming back.
It really is, Eleanor…
Speaking at an “Emmy For Your Consideration” panel (via Entertainment Weekly), the show’s creator, Mike Schur, revealed that he plans on wrapping up The Good Place with its upcoming fourth season. Now before you get the pitchforks out over the network cancelling the show, Schur came to this decision after mapping everything out after season two and he feels like it’s time to end it on a high note, saying:
“At times over the past few years we’ve been tempted to go beyond four seasons, but mostly because making this show is a rare, creatively fulfilling joy, and at the end of the day, we don’t want to tread water just because the water is so warm and pleasant. As such, the upcoming fourth season will be our last.”
Look, I absolutely adore The Good Place but too much of a good thing can be bad and Schur’s decision to end the show at its peak is the right one. After all, you don’t want to be one of those shows that hangs around so long that we’re all begging for it to be cancelled.
There’s no word on when season four will arrive so that’ll give us time to rewatch all the previous episodes and get supremely upset that over things we’ll miss, like Eleanor being awful, Ted Danson being the best thing on earth, Janet doing weird Janet things, Chidi’s six pack abs, Jason being a lovable idiot, and Tahani being an absolute queen.
That being said, I won’t miss those awful Australian accents. Those can go to the Bad Place forever.
