With three seasons under its belt and only a few episodes left, imagining a world withoutThe Good Placeis going to be super tough. TheMike Schur-created series starsKristen Bellas Eleanor Shellstrop, a woman whose journey through the afterlife has been twisty (to put it mildly) and has brought her together with fellow afterlife misfits played byWilliam Jackson Harper,Jameela Jamil, andManny Jacinto. Oh, and we can’t forget that this gang includesTed Dansonas a bow-tie wearing, bespectacled demon andD’Arcy Cardenas Janet, the afterlife’s answer to Siri.
Fans ofThe Good Place(myself included) have known for some time that the series would be ending with Season 4, which is currently on the air. Schur took the surprise element out of the equation uponrevealing the newsall the way back in June. And yet, even knowing that and seeing theambitious place this season started atand seeing things progress, it’s still going to be tough to say good-bye. Luckily for us, Bell recently opened up to Collider about the series finale in a recent interview and how it will be so satisfying fans will most likely not want a reboot or revival.
“It’s an incredibly worthy ending. We were all disappointed that the show would be over, but it did feel like the right thing to do. I don’t know that the show will ever come back ever, because the ending is satisfying. It’s a variety of things. It’s also a punch to the gut, but it is satisfying and it feels like that’s where the story ends.”
Of course, Bell said nothing when it came to the details that would make this series finale so satisfying. We do know theseries finale will be a full 90 minuteslong and, after that, theGood Placecast will appear for a post-finale processing session withSeth MeyersonLate Night with Seth Meyers. Start catching up to the show now if you’ve been slacking becauseThe Good Placeseries finale airs January 30 on NBC.
