NBC hasn't yet announced the official renewal status of Good Girls season 4 as of this writing. Nothing is confirmed when it comes to the future of the series right now, so viewers may need to wait for a while for the official announcement from the network.
The decision in renewing or canceling Good Girls season 4 is up to NBC. The network is possibly considering some factors before revealing the renewal status of the show. It can be noted that the previous installment halted its production because of the real-world health crisis.
The series shuts down its production because of the COVID-19 pandemic and moved into an alternative direction. Because of that, more stories were left to be told. These episodes that weren't filmed might be part of the potential new season, if ever.
However, one of the major concerns of Good Girls season 4 renewal is the ratings. According to CarterMatt, the series isn't raking in big live ratings. Reportedly, the show is averaging 0.4 ratings in the 18-49 demographic, which is lower than other shows that are currently on the schedule of NBC.
Despite that, there's still hope for Good Girls season 4; the series remains one of the popular streaming shows for the network. What's more is that the Mae Whitman-Retta-Christina Hendricks-led series performs well when it comes to DVR viewership.
As for the potential release date, the release schedule may change as the network may not go with its usual release date pattern. There could be a delay this time considering the situation at the moment, so filming may not start anytime soon. The new season may arrive in late 2021.
The third installment ended with five episodes early as production was cut short due to the current global health crisis. As for what happened in season 3 finale, the saw Bet making a big business move, in which she purchased a hot tub store.
Season 3 ended with FBI Agent Phoebe introducing herself to Beth and the company, and launched an investigation. Perhaps, this particular storyline will further continue and could be a huge part of the series if ever Good Girls season 4 is renewed.
Showrunner Jenna Bans and executive producer Bill Krebs has something to say about this matter as well. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the two were asked what they can preview in the next season. Bans said they're going into a more personal sphere with Phoebe, Krebs teased "it becomes more than the case."
