Mike Schur Answers Burning Questions From Season 3
I'm so glad he did the white chocolate shrimp too, although I was really hoping for New England Clam Chowder as well.
Season four to be the last
The upcoming fourth season of "The Good Place" will be the final one, according to creator Michael Schur:
My heart
But also, I guess it makes sense. There's only so many times you can completely reinvent a show.
Huh...
So, as sad as the news is, I always did kinda hope that they'd end it on a good note, rather than keep it going just to keep it going. So I just hope that this last season is very solid with that in mind.
...but I feel like they mentioned having more than 4 seasons in mind in some interviews, right? Which makes me wonder how much this was actually planned or not. Hmm.

That makes sense. I'm glad they're going with the most natural ending point, instead of forcing it to be something it's not. I shall cherish this final season all the more.
Very beautifully put and I respect their decision here. I would much prefer this over a show getting infinitely renewed past it's natural endpoint. (See: Dexter, X-Files)
Read the note again. This is addressed.

Good. I love when a show ends rather than goes on indefinitely until eventually you get the Simpsons. Its what I fear the most for Bobs Burgers
Good. As delightful as the show is, stretching out the premise too much further would be detrimental. I think we were already starting to see signs of fatigue in S3. I feel like they could have just overwritten the last episode of S2 with the last episode of S3 and we'd be in pretty much the same place (minus Simone). This gives me hope that S4 will make real progress this time.
It's good that the showrunners know when to end it. Always leave them wanting more..

Good decision. Glad to see they have an ending figured out and they're working towards it now.
I thought they had said that The Good Place was always conceptualized as a 5 season show, so I am a little disheartened to read that they are ending it "early". At the same time, I'm glad to know what we will definitely be getting a definitive conclusion, and they aren't writing with the assumption that they will automatically get a 5th season (which could go awry if NBC decided to cancel after Season 4). As much as I would like to think that they are ending "on their own terms" I have to think that this decision happened because they were uncertain about whether or not they would get renewed after this season.
I have complete faith that they will be able to wrap things up in a really funny and satisfying way, so it is hard to be upset.

Fixed.
Personally, I'm happy they are ending it on their own terms.
I'm happy they get to end it on their own terms I'm just bummed that I won't get more Good Place. It's such a wonderful cast.
Bittersweet, but at the end of it I think we'll just have a truly amazing show, so I'm more than fine with this.
It's the normal length of episodes, but with a hour long finale.
I'm glad they are going out on their own terms. Nothing worse than a show that goes on past the natural endpoint, burns out and then just gets cancelled without a proper ending. I much prefer a show that is complete and ends how the show runners want it to end, even if it is a joy to watch.
Had they already started filming? At what point in the process is this announcement being made? I'm curious as to whether the decision for this to be the final season was made at the start or at the end. I'm on board either way, but I hope it isn't just because they mapped things out and realized they were running out of steam or something.
In an EW interview Mike Schur said they made this decision while they were filming season 3.
I have not looked of course, but they talk about the gag reel for season 3 in that podcast and then it's not tacked on in audio form which is disappointing. Was listening to this in the car this morning and kept hoping it would be.
