‘The Good Place’ Gets Early Season 4 Renewal From NBC

NBC has ordered more “Good Place,” handing the Michael Schur comedy an early fourth season pickup.

“Congratulations to Mike Schur and an exceptional cast and crew, all of whom collaborate to create a thoughtful, mind-bending and hysterical series unlike anything else on television,” said NBC scripted programming bosses Tracey Pakosta and Lisa Katz in a statement. “We can’t wait to see what unexpected stories the new season will bring.”

The early renewal comes ahead of the critically acclaimed show’s midseason finale on Thursday. No decision has been made about the length of the fourth season, but each of the show’s first three outings consisted of 13 episodes.
