NBC’s “The Good Place" will end with its fourth season, creator and executive producer Mike Schur announced Friday night during a For Your Consideration panel discussion at the Television Academy.

“After The Good Place’ was picked up for season two, the writing staff and I began to map out, as best we could, the trajectory of the show. Given the ideas we wanted to explore, and the pace at which we wanted to present those ideas, I began to feel like four seasons — just over 50 episodes — was the right lifespan. At times over the past few years we’ve been tempted to go beyond four seasons, but mostly because making this show is a rare, creatively fulfilling joy, and at the end of the day, we don’t want to tread water just because the water is so warm and pleasant. As such, the upcoming fourth season will be our last," Schur said in a statement.

Always good to see a series wrap up on its own terms, even if I’ll be sad to see it go.
