Depends on which country you're in. Here in The Netherlands it's the day after the episode airs on NBC but it may be different in other countries.

[cpcathy]

The DVD of season 2 comes out on July 17. I have it on pre-order. I can only surmise that means it will be on Netflix then.

It streams on Hulu in the US before it goes to Netflix. 

Last year it wasn’t tied to the DVD release but started on Netflix a few weeks before the season 2 premiere.

Yeah, I'd be shocked if it's on US Netflix before Labor Day.

According to my Xfinity OnDemand, the second season is available until Aug. 27th,  I would not be surprised if it appears on Netflix (US) on or about Aug. 28th.

The show only got one Emmy nomination: for Ted as lead actor.

Writer/producer/creator of the restaurant names in The Good Place, Meghan Amram, also received an Emmy nomination for her short An Emmy for Meghan.

Two nominations: Maya Rudolph got nominated for guest actress as the Judge.

Congrats to Ted and Maya.

D'Arcy was robbed.

Agreed. Not to mention the show itself not being nominated for Best Comedy.

[Mockingbird]

While I'm glad the show got a bit of recognition for Ted and Maya, the fact that it wasn't nominated for best comedy, when some shows that really aren't even comedies get nominated, is mind-boggling to me. Kristen deserved a nomination, too. The whole thing is bullshirt.  

[cpcathy]

I love Barry on HBO, but it's not a comedy, it has comedic moments, but it your show is half an hour, it's gonna be a comedy.

Also, there is only one network comedy nominated this year, so I think the Academy is trying to be hip and cool by leaving out network shows.

I looked at an extended list because I was trying to see if Jane the Virgin got ANYTHING (they didn't) and I found Maya there. It's not on most overview lists. Her ceremony will be the week or two before at the Creative Arts Emmy's with all other guest actor nominees. Hoping she and SKB win for their guest spots on Good Place and Brooklyn Nine-Nine respectively!

That's been going on for a few years now, which annoys me because, even if you grant the argument that broadcast programming is all same-old-same-old while streaming/cable TV is the only innovative medium (which I don't think is entirely true), they're still ignoring a huge group of network-show actors, crew, etc. whose work ought to be acknowledged.

[biakbiak]

[cpcathy]

So I got my season 2 DVDs, the extras are kind of sparse, only one episode has commentary and the blooper reel is not as funny as last year's. Still worth the money, but I thought I'd give y'all a heads up.

[ElectricBoogaloo]

The Good Place had a mini replica of the set at Comic Con. Some annoying people from ET got to check it out before it opened to the public:

That cast. I love them. Kristen is wrapped in Will's arms? Why are they all so sweet?!? I'm gonna cry on this show's final episode.

As of next week, we will get two podcast episodes per week. I'm going to the Good Place!

I saw that.  Luckily we bought DirectvNow, (so we could watch ‘Alone’), but I found ‘The Good Place’ on there as well.

Binge watching this weekend!  Yay for me!

[biakbiak]

I find the shooting schedule for this show interesting, I know it’s almost half of what many shows are but they have already wrapped season 3 and started shooting in June or late May. Opens up the cast and writers to a ton of other opportunities.

[biakbiak]

The show one won best comedy at the TCAs.

[ApathyMonger]

The Trolley Problem won the Hugo for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form, beating Black Mirror, Doctor Who, Star Trek Discovery, and a song called The Deep.

Sometime, next week, in the middle of the night, there will be an eight to ten minute preview of season three. I guess it's a gift for your DVR.

[cpcathy]

Since I have my settings on "record ALL new episodes" my DVR should catch it. It caught the last preview in the middle of the night. They really want us to be on our toes!

[Omeletsmom]

I literally squealed when I saw the preview in my TiVo's  To Do list.  I am so ready for this show to be back!

[cpcathy]

Sneak preview from EW:

 

https://ew.com/tv/good-place-season-3-first-look/

[Loandbehold]

According to my DVR, the sneak peek will be shown 1:53-2:01 AM on Saturday, 8/25. At least that's the case in NYC. Check local listings.

[possibilities]

I usually just find these kinds of sneak previews annoying, but I LOVED this one. I LOVED IT. They VERY briefly recapped seasons 1 and 2, and showed a new scene from S3. And it was great. I am really excited about it.

[scarynikki12]

Reminder that any discussion of the content of the season 3 part of sneak peek will need to be in Spoilers.

Agreed. Everything about that was utterly delightful. Hopefully NBC uploads it shortly for anyone who missed it. 

[Maelstrom]

My DVR had this set to record, but all I ended up getting was the last ten minutes of a talk show. Booo. A quick search revealed that someone recorded the preview on their phone and kindly uploaded the video to the youtube, so at least I got to sort of watch it. Hopefully NBC will put the real thing up somewhere soon.

Mike is on this weeks Bill Simmons podcast with the show runner of This Is Us.

[cpcathy]

Listened last night. He's such a great interview, I didn't care for the other guest as much.

[AnnaRose]

Can anyone please tell me if I am correct in thinking that Mike Shur has previously stated he has the story all planned out for three seasons and will not go beyond that?  I could swear that I read that a while back, but perhaps I imagined or dreamed it. 

On the ratings site I have read comments by people fretting that the demo might be too low for renewal, which made me wonder if I am wrong thinking The Good Place will for sure be over when this season is finished.  I hope it's okay to ask in this thread.  People here seem to really know everything that's going on with this show.

He’s said they’re already plotting season four—maybe on the podcast?—but that the show absolutely can’t go on indefinitely. I don’t know if he specified a number of seasons, though.

Oh, okay.  Thank you so much for letting me know!  I could have sworn I read that they didn't want to go past three seasons.  I wonder if they have a good resolution though if it doesn't get renewed after this season?  I don't think the ratings have been very good.  Then again, they are short seasons with only 13 episodes and a lot of critical acclaim, so perhaps NBC has agreed to let it play out regardless of ratings.
