We Have 4 Big Teases About The Good Place Season 4

The Good Placeended Season 3 with a return to the familiar -- the Neighborhood -- but with some key differences. The humans and Michael are now in charge of an experiment to prove that all humans can be taught to be better people in hopes of changing how the point system that lets people into the Good or Bad Place works. The catch is that the Bad Place got to choose the new four humans, and they specifically are choosing people to torture the four humans already in the Neighborhood.

For Tahani (Jameela Jamil), it's a blogger who used to torment her during her time on Earth and Chidi (William Jackson Harper) had to have his memory wiped because the Bad Place chose his ex-girlfriend Simone (Kirby Howell-Baptiste). That means he has no memory of Eleanor (Kristen Bell) and their relationship, or his journey so far with the other humans.

It's a big reset, but that's what the show is known for. Even though the season just ended, TV Guide and a small group of reporters caught up with The Good Place creator Mike Schur at the Television Critics Association winter press tour and got four big teases about what to expect from the show's next season.

1. It will look like Season 1, but feel different: The frozen yogurt shop is back and so many other things we loved about the early episodes The Good Place. But with the humans actually running the experiment, it's not going to feel exactly like Season 1.

"In a way we are [returning to Season 1] by design but there are some key differences. In this case, there's only one person who won't remember what is going on," he said. "There's a lot of different power dynamics and stuff. The idea is always to change everything and somehow still do the same show that everyone has been watching."

2. There's a lot of good romance stuff coming up: The premise of The Good Place is insane, but fans have also really been drawn in by the grounded relationships that have formed between the characters. Schur says that those relationships are also his favorite part about writing the show, so we'll be digging more into that in Season 4.

"It's equally split between the romantic stories and the plot. ...What's going to happen to all of humanity is a pretty good question to be asking for plot," Schur teased. "I really like the romances between Eleanor and Chidi and Janet and Jason. I think it's probably an even split."

3. There will be more insanity for Janet: Season 1 gave us rebooted Janet (D'Arcy Carden). Season 2 gave us Janet and Michael (Ted Danson) as friends and Season 3 gave us Janet playing every person in her void. Basically, Janet is the best and the producers are already working on ways to let Carden steal the spotlight even more next season.

"We have a few things. I don't know if we'll ever achieve anything that's bigger than her literally playing every character in the show, but the most fun part of writing for an actor like D'Arcy Carden is that the world is your oyster. You get dream up insane scenarios and we have a couple that are going to be pretty fun," he said.

4. Eleanor's torture person is still on the way: If Chidi having his memory wiped isn't enough, Schur confirmed that wasn't what the Bad Place chose to torture Eleanor with, so she'll have her own ghost from the real world to deal with, to be revealed in the new season.

"The idea is that the Bad Place chose people who were specifically meant to smart bomb the four main humans. In one case, Tahani didn't know that guy John at all. She'd never met him, but he was there to torture her. In Chidi's case, Simone was actually someone that he knew," Schur explained. "Eleanor has another one on the way."

The Good Place will return to NBC for the 2019-2020 TV season. Catch previous episodes on Hulu and Netflix.
