Note: incoming spoilers for The Good Place‘s last ever episode!

It’s forkin’ official: The Good Place has wrapped up after four wonderful seasons, and now star Kristen Bell has weighed in on the series finale’s ending.

Airing in the US yesterday (January 30), the show’s last ever episode ‘Whenever You’re Ready’ played out in typically comedic yet thoughtful fashion, with a warm and bittersweet ending.

After a number of emotional departures for all the characters, Eleanor decides to leave the Good Place through the final vine-covered door, yubi, where she dissolves into shiny particles.

We then see one of these shimmering lights fall to Earth and land on a man’s shoulder, prompting him to do something good.

Chatting to Entertainment Weekly, the actress gave her own spin on what the ending could mean.

“I think everybody’s particles sprinkle down,” she explained. “The way they re-evaluated how to get into the Good Place with these manufactured tests that once you got to the Good Place, you were allowed to celebrate being there as long as you want. Then you are allowed to end it.”

She continued: “Then you become these tiny, sparkly particles that rain down on the people on Earth to give them an extra boost. Those are the tiny voices inside your head that say, ‘Don’t throw that person’s mail away. Just walk to their door. It takes two seconds and it probably will make their day.’

“I would love to believe that that’s what happens. That’s such a beautiful way of thinking about it. Because we are all one, right? We’re all part of each other. Whether we want to believe it or not. There’s something that connects us all.

“I would love to believe that people who die become sparkly particles that make the voices inside our head give us good guidance.”

The Good Place aired on NBC in the US, with episodes premiering a day later on Netflix. You can also catch it on E4 in the UK.
