The Good Place Gets 3rd Season; Nashville to End After Season 6

The Good Place

NBC has renewed Thursday night comedy The Good Place for a 13-episode third season. The series is still currently in the middle of its second season, with new episodes set to return on January 4,2018. The Good Place stars Ted Danson, Kristen Bell, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, Manny Jacinto and D'Arcy Carden. Michael Schur, David Miner, Morgan Sackett and Drew Goddard executive produce. The Good Place is produced by Universal Television, Fremulon and 3 Arts Entertainment. The show follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell), an ordinary woman who enters the afterlife, and thanks to some kind of error, is sent to the Good Place instead of the Bad Place (which is definitely where she belongs). While hiding in plain sight from Michael (Ted Danson), the wise architect of the Good Place (who doesn't know he's made a mistake), she's determined to shed her old way of living and earn her spot.


Nashville

Nashville is coming to an end after this season. "We're announcing today that Nashville will return for its 6th and final season on January 4, 2018," said Kevin Beggs, Chairman of the Lionsgate Television Group.

We're very proud of our incredibly talented cast and crew, the creative brilliance of our showrunners, and the loyal support of our great partners at CMT, Hulu and ABC Studios. Most importantly, we owe a special debt of thanks to the Nashville fans who propelled the series to an incredible run. We owe it to them to make the 6th season the most exciting and memorable of all." The final season of Nashville premieres Thursday, January 4 at 9pm ET/PT only on CMT. The 16-episode will air in two parts, with the finale airing this summer (exact date TBD).
