List of episodes

"Whenever You're Ready" is the two-part series finale of the American fantasy-comedy television series, The Good Place. It is the thirteenth and fourteenth episode of the fourth season and the fifty-second and fifty-third episode, overall. The episodes were both written and directed by series creator, Michael Schur and originally aired in the United States on NBC on January 30, 2020.

The episode jumps forward from the previous episode to show the main characters existing happily in the 'Good Place'. Over time, the four humans each realize the moment they feel complete, which is when they are presented with the opportunity to move on from their lives and end their time in the universe. Meanwhile, Michael, as an immortal being, seeks to find the same fulfillment.

Planning for the finale began in earnest during the show's third season, and in June 2019, Schur announced that the fourth season of the show would be its last. Many cast members from earlier episodes made guest appearances or cameos in the finale. The episode was seen by 2.32 million viewers in its original broadcast and received praise from critics, many calling it a satisfying and emotional ending to the show.
