The Good Place Presents: The Selection
Now streaming
On NBC
If you’ve been jonesin’ for some The Good Place (and we know you have), you have six mini-webisodes to tide you over until season 4 debuts on September 26th. And this time, we’re heading to The Bad Place (for real). Shawn (Marc Evan Jackson) has to decide on four new humans to take part in The Judge’s (Maya Rudolph) experiment to see if the Good/Bad Place point system is fair. These new test subjects have to tread the line between dictator and the point-system-celebrity, Doug Forcett (Michael McKean). So, y’know, they have to be as terrible as any regular human. Thing is, “How do you pick just four turds from a massive pile of dookie?” Shawn and his team of demons go through their own vetting process (and they can’t pick any boyband managers, dammit!). This set of teasers will get you forking excited for the new season of The Good Place…even if it makes you never want to eat again. Good work, demons. You’ll be left giggling as you realize: Hell really is in Conference Room C.
Watch The Good Place Presents: The Selection on the NBC app.
From NBC:
The series features demon Shawn (Marc Evan Jackson) and his heinous cohorts as they decide which deceased humans to send to Michael’s (Ted Danson) newly formed afterlife neighborhood to thwart his benevolent plan. Written by the talented staff that creates the critically beloved series, “The Good Place Presents: The Selection” expands the story in a way that’s both easily bingeable and
devilishly satisfying.

Disenchantment
Part Two
Fri Sept 20
On Netflix
Disenchantment was a slow burn in season one—it was very different from Matt Groening’s other works, even if you could instantly tell it came from him. But while the worldbuilding and weirdness took some getting used to, season two is much more settled. You’ll head straight back into the life of Bean, who made some questionable decisions and is now seeing the fallout. She may have chosen to side with her mother once upon a time but she soon comes to learn that her family has more skeletons in the closet than she realized. Bean must repair her relationships and return to Dreamland in order to save the realm. This season is very much about family—whether it’s finding friends who become family or reigniting broken blood ties—and Disenchantment will take you on a medieval rollercoaster of entertaining quests to reach a satisfying (if a little bumpy) resolution.
Disenchantment is back on Netflix on Friday.
From Netflix:
Picking up where we left off, Disenchantment Part Two delves deeper into the un-fairytale’s mythology and explores faraway worlds well beyond Dreamland. But one question remains: Have we really seen the last of the beloved Elfo?

Meanwhile, an old friend from Kory’s home planet of Tamaran comes to Earth with an urgent mission.

Meanwhile Thomas realizes his feelings for Martha aren’t all strictly business and things get awkward. With a plot to commit something even more sinister than treason afoot, it’s up to Alfie to find out who’s really on his side…
