CBS extends the dramedy's debut outing.
October 19, 2018
It looks like God Friended Me will be sticking around for a full season, as CBS has ordered more episodes towards its freshman run. The exact size of the top-up is not confirmed, but reports peg it at around seven, which would bring its total to 20.
The hour-long series premiered in late September and is off to a solid start. Through its first three episodes, ratings have improved its time slot performance compared to a year ago. Early reviews have been overall mixed, though lean towards the positive.
God Friended Me follows New York podcast host Miles Finer, who is an outspoken atheist. When he randomly receives a friend request from God on Facebook, it starts him down the path of becoming an agent of change in the lives and destinies of people around him.

Surprising, actually. It's like someone watched Kevin (Probably) Saves the World and figured "hey, let's do the same thing, but less funny and with a charisma-less lead!"

This has got to be the dumbest concept for a show I have ever heard of. Sounds like something Kirk Cameron would come up with.

I want this show to be successful. I love the actors and the plot is an interesting exploration of personal faith in a modern world, but I fear that yet another show with religious themes will be trashed without people giving it a shot. Honestly, I wasn't going to watch it, I have a lot of new shows and don't always have the time to keep up, but I saw Brandon Micheal Hall in the lead, and I was a fan of The Mayor, so I decided to give it a shot. Not sad I did so.
