This interview contains spoilers for The Good Place Season 3, which is streaming on Netflix internationally and streaming on NBC.com in the US.
The entire fate of humanity is in jeopardy on The Good Place, and the writers are really starting to feel the pressure going into Season 4.
The Season 3 finale twist essentially rebooted the fake Good Place neighborhood back to the very beginning of the series – with Eleanor taking over from Michael as the architect – to prove that humans can become better people after death. But with the Bad Place picking the four new human subjects specifically to torture Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani and Jason, Chidi ended up being faced with his ex-girlfriend Simone, and chose to have his memory wiped so he wouldn’t blow the whole experiment and doom all of humanity to the Bad Place.
