On what date was The Good Place's fourth season announced as its last?

The story behind the answer

The Good Place’s fourth season was announced as its last on June 7, 2019.

The announcement came before the season premiered, confirming that the NBC fantasy comedy would end with its fourth run rather than continue indefinitely. Series creator Michael Schur and the producers had developed the story with a planned endpoint in mind, allowing the final season to resolve the characters’ afterlife experiment and the show’s central moral questions.

The date is easy to confuse with other important milestones. NBC ordered the fourth season on December 4, 2018, while the season itself premiered in September 2019. Its final episode, “Whenever You’re Ready,” aired on January 30, 2020. Thus, December 4 marks the renewal order, June 7 marks the announcement that the season would be final, and January 30 marks the broadcast conclusion.

The series ultimately ran for four seasons and 53 episodes, ending on its own planned terms rather than being canceled abruptly.
