Here’s some heavenly news for The Good Place: NBC just renewed the afterlife comedy for a third season.

The network announced on Tuesday that it has ordered 13 additional episodes of Michael Schur’s critical darling starring Ted Danson and Kristen Bell. In season 2, the show is averaging a 2.0 rating in the 18-to-49 demo and 6.2 million viewers (when factoring in a week of DVR playback).

The Good Place — which also stars D’Arcy Carden, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil and Manny Jacinto — unveiled its fall finale earlier this month, and returns to the schedule with its final five episodes of season 2 starting on Jan. 4.

NBC has already renewed This Is Us and Will & Grace for next season.
