Well, this certainly sounds forking exciting!

Jameela Jamil has teased that a ‘British Legend’ will be joining The Good Place in season three.

The Netflix and NBC cult favourite is launching its third season in the US tonight, and the British actress – who plays the terminally delightful but approval-seeking Tahani Al-Jamil – has promised the ‘best one yet’ for fans.

However, try as we might, the star has her lips firmly sealed when it comes to what to expect on this year’s series, though she did drop that there’ll be an epically familiar face joining the ranks though.


Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Jameela couldn’t help but tease a couple of details, and told us: ‘The guest stars are fucking mad this year. Some of them I felt so star-struck on set.



‘I got to act with one of my favourite comedy actors. I can’t tell you who it is, but he’s a British national treasure, and I walked on set and he was standing there and I thought I was going to shirt my pants, using The Good Place lingo.

‘I thought I was going to legit shirt my pants. I couldn’t believe I was standing opposite him and acting. It felt so ridiculous!’

Other than that, Jameela remained steadfast in her not wanting anything spoiled – admitting she’d even banned her boyfriend from watching the episode ahead of it airing on TV.

‘I can’t tell you about anyone, and also I shouldn’t, because it would be too much for you to watch it on your own.’

‘But we have a British national treasure. We will also see a bit more of Maya Rudolph, the American national treasure,’ she added.

‘Those are the only things I can tell you.’

***SPOILER ALERT FROM HERE***

The new season of the show promises to be a complete gamechanger after a final twist at the end of season two left everyone in a whole new location.

After Michael (Ted Danson) convinced the afterlife judge to give our core four a second chance, Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani and Jason are officially back on Earth, and are being given a second chance at becoming better people.

It appears that nearly getting crushed by a statue of her sister Kamillah is a bit of a wake-up call for the socialite, and despite promises that ‘she’ll still name-drop like a motherforker’, Jameela admits that we’re about to see a whole new Tahani.

‘She’s got her hair in a ponytail! Which, as you know, is sacrilege to Tahani,’ Jameela laughed.

‘She’s got her hair in a ponytail, she’s in a tracksuit, no make up on and you know what? There may well be some crocs in Tahani’s future!’



‘I don’t want to scare you!’ she joked. ‘But its not out of the realm of possibility.’

Looks like it’s all change for everyone!
