The Good Place Season 4 Will Introduce New Characters
As a result of the experiment done by Michael, the fourth season will likely feature some new add ons in the show. According to speculations, the show will introduce two new humans. Moreover, the two will have some sort of connection with Eleanor and Jason.

What Will Happen in The Good Place Season 4?
The third season of the show ended with a major cliffhanger. Michael finally struck the deal to recreate the initial experiment that initiated the story. And then, he and the gang set out to build a new neighborhood. However, Sean, the Bad Place demon chose four people to bother the main characters of the show.
One of them was a blogger, who used to spread gossip about Tahani, and worse, Chidi’s ex-girlfriend, Simone. In the end, in an attempt to keep the experiment pure, both Simone and Chidi lost their memory. This came out as a shock for everyone, but mostly for Eleanor, as she is in love with Chidi.
The fourth season will pick up the after-effects of the experiment. Although this will definitely change the show to some other directions. It’ll feature how Eleanor keep up with the fact that she lost Chidi. Also, it’ll focus on the rising love triangle between Janet, Jason, and Derek.
Michael also gave a big hint for the upcoming season. He stated that the fourth season would feature at least one more big surprise.
