WATCH: The very first scene from The Good Place Season 3 is here and it looks as hilarious as ever

The best comedy on TV right now (don’t @ me) is back VERY soon.

If you haven’t been watching The Good Place, then you deserve to go to The Bad Place.

The ingenious, hilarious, and constantly original comedy is one of the best comedies to come along in the last decade, telling the story of a group of strangers (headed by Kristen Bell) who wake up to find they have died and are in The Good Place (aka Heaven… kind of), and are being looked over by an all-powerful being (played to perfection by Ted Danson).

There is, of course, an awful lot more to it than that, but saying anything more would give the game away. Just trust us, it is amazing, and you need to watch the first two seasons right now.

With the hour-long season premiere set to land on US TV on Thursday 27 September (so we should get it on Netflix here on Friday 28 September), the first glimpse into the first scene of Season 3 has been “leaked” online, and it looks as hilarious as ever.

We’re not going to go into a description of what the scene entails – because, again, SPOILERS!, which isn’t something we’d normally say about a TV comedy, but then The Good Place is no normal TV comedy – but suffice it to say that it sets up everything for the new season quite brilliantly.

Early highlight? Danson’s arty ponytail in the scene with Tahani. Big fan of that.

So here it is (via EW), the very first scene from The Good Place S3:
