Thank forking God: The Good Place has been renewed for a second season. NBC announced today that Michael Schur’s afterlife comedy will get 13 more episodes, meaning that Kristen Bell and Ted Danson won’t have to look for work this fall. Plus, more Janet!
The show—which had a stellar, mind-bending season one finale earlier this month—wasn’t a huge hit for NBC, but did better than what the network had airing in its slot last year. The show’s season one finale, for instance, drew about 5.2 million viewers within three days of its first airing.
According to NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke, the network “absolutely can’t wait to see where these characters go, literally, in season two.” We’re going to take a wild guess and say they’ll probably just go to more frozen yogurt shops.
