TOP STORY: Michael Schur Pulls the Plug on ‘The Good Place’
During an interview with THR, The Good Place creator and showrunner Mike Schur announced that the upcoming season of the hit NBC comedy will be its last. However, Schur, who recently inked a five year, nine-figure deal with Universal Television, will continue to create content for the network.
It’s surprising for fans to learn that The Good Place, which stars Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, and took home a 2019 Peabody Award is ending so soon. However, that was apparently always Schur’s plan. “Once I settled on four seasons, I didn’t tell anyone — except the writers,” he said. “But it was pretty much always four from early on as a general map.”
While every season thus far has been 13 episodes, the fifth and final season will have 14 episodes, with an hour-long finale. “We’re going full tilt until the end,” Schur assured viewers. “Everybody at the end of the day is happy that we’re going to end it the way we started it: at a breakneck speed, with a lot of crazy, wild twists and turns.”
