What happened at the end of The Good Place Season 3?
The comedy series has come a long way from Eleanor discovering the supposed Good Place was really the Bad Place at the end of Season 1. At the end of Season 3, Eleanor and the others were right back where they started. Only this time, they know the truth, and they’re repeating the experiment with new subjects to see if humans really can change for the better in a fake version of the Good Place.
However, the plan has already had a few hiccups. First, Michael panicked, and Eleanor had to step in and play the role of architect with new arrivals. Even worse, it turns out that the new experiment subjects, who were chosen by Bad Place demon Sean, were all picked to torture Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason specifically.
That includes a blogger who tortured Tahani online. But that’s not all; Sean also chose Chidi’s ex-girlfriend Simone. As a result, Chidi decides to wipe his own memory (and Simone’s) to avoid ruining the experiment.
Season 3 ended with Eleanor preparing to welcome her boyfriend, who didn’t remember her, to the “Good Place.”

- Outstanding Comedy Series

- Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series (Maya Rudolph)
- Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series ("Janet(s)")
Unfortunately, the show went home empty-handed from the Emmys ceremony.
Was The Good Place renewed for Season 4?
Yes! The announcement came in December 2018, in the middle of Season 3 airing. Unfortunately, after that, creator Mike Schur clarified that Season 4 would be the final season of The Good Place. He revealed he had always planned the series to run for four seasons in a follow-up statement, even with critical praise.
