NBC renews 'The Good Place' for a fourth season

Dec. 5 (UPI) -- NBC has renewed comedy series The Good Place, starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, for a fourth season.

The official Instagram account for The Good Place confirmed the renewal Tuesday alongside a Season 4 logo.

"#TheGoodPlace will be broken for a fourth time!" read the caption.

William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, D'Arcy Carden, and Manny Jacinto also star on the series created by Mike Schur about a group of strangers who become friends and who want to prove that they are good people after entering into the afterlife.

The still-ongoing third season finds the group back on earth where they are continuing to show that they can be good in order to avoid being sent to the bad place.

Danson commented on the renewal on Twitter alongside a short video.

"Grateful 4 another season with these 4king guys. Soul Squad 4ever!" Danson said.

Danson was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series at the 70th annual Primetime Emmy Awards in September for his role on The Good Place.
