Last year's thread was designated for Season 3, and especially because this show evolves its concept so much every year, I thought it would be a good idea to have a new thread for the final season. Since it's starting next week, it seemed like now would be a good time to kick off the new thread.
I also wanted to remind everyone that NBC is airing a behind-the-scenes special "The Paley Center Salutes The Good Place" tomorrow night (Thursday, September 19.) At least my DVR does not count this as an episode of the series proper, so it is not going to be picked up with a preexisting series recording If you want to record it, check your listings grid, as you'll have to set it up separately.
However, a couple weeks ago I found in my DVR -- recorded as part of my standing series recording -- that NBC aired one scene of the season premiere as a sneak peak sandwiched in between some ads for their other new sitcoms. This came out of the blue as I had no idea it was going to be on, so if you haven't seen it and want a sneak peak, check your DVRs; it might be in there. No spoilers from me, but the scene shows Eleanor welcoming the third of the "new humans" to the "Good Place" following the introduction of John (the gossip blogger and the return of Simone in last year's finale.
Also, NBC recently uploaded a series of digital shorts called The Selection, involving Shawn and his workers the Bad Place choosing the new humans for the experiment:
