The web series The Selection has six episodes. Released in 2019, it serves as a short bridge between the third and fourth seasons of The Good Place and expands the story of the demons in the Bad Place.
The series follows Shawn and his demon colleagues as they choose which humans to send into Michael's experimental afterlife neighborhood. Their goal is to undermine Michael's attempt to prove that humans can improve when given a fair chance, making The Selection an important piece of the show's larger moral experiment.
All six installments were released through NBC's website, app, and YouTube channel on September 13, 2019. Because the episodes were distributed online rather than as regular broadcast installments, viewers sometimes overlook them when counting the show's material. They are nevertheless listed separately as a web series in the episode guide.
The Selection is not a seventh season or a collection of deleted scenes. It is an official six-part story set between seasons three and four, providing extra context before the final season begins.
