The Good Place Cast Has Some Forking Terrific Roles Lined Up After the Show Ends

Kristen Bell, who stars on The Good Place as loveably crass Eleanor Shellstrop, is reprising her role as adorably awkward princess Anna in Frozen 2, and though we won't be able to see Bell, we'll be able to hear her when the animated sequel hits theatres on Nov. 22.

She's also set to costar alongside SNL alum Leslie Jones in Queenpins, a comedy based on the real-life story of two Phoenix housewives who team up to run a $40 million coupon scam. No announcements have been made yet about when we may expect to see this one.

Other projects coming up for Bell include Do, Re & Mi, an animated musical series for preschoolers from Amazon Studios, and Central Park, another animated musical series that revolves around the people who live and work in the famous NYC park. There's no word yet on whether Veronica Mars has been renewed by Hulu for a fifth season, but we can still dream!

The legendary Ted Danson, who costars as failed afterlife architect Michael, is currently working on a yet-untitled NBC comedy series with Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, where he'll star as a wealthy businessman who becomes the mayor of LA. Little is known about the series at this point, but considering that Fey and Carlock are the brains behind 30 Rock, we expect great things.

You can see Jameela Jamil (also known as the fabulous Tahani Al-Jamil) next on TBS, where she's hosting The Misery Index, a series based on the card game "Sh*t Happens." On the series, two competing teams will rank humiliating life events on a scale from one to 100, with non-celebrity contestants working alongside members of The Tenderloins comedy troupe. The series is set to premiere on Oct. 22.

Jamil will also lend her voice to the forthcoming Disney Junior animated mystery series for preschoolers called Mira, Royal Detective, where she will play the recurring character of Auntie Pushpa. You can expect the series to premiere sometime in 2020.

William Jackson Harper, who plays indecisive ethics and moral philosophy professor Chidi Anagonye, has a bunch of exciting projects forthcoming in the next few years. Coming up, he'll star alongside Anne Hathaway and Mark Ruffalo in the drama flick Dark Waters, which tells the true story of a corporate defence attorney who takes on an environmental lawsuit against a chemical company. Though not much is known about Harper's role, we only have to wait until Nov. 22 to find out for ourselves.

Another project for Harper includes a recurring role on Amazon's The Underground Railroad, a series adapted from Colson Whitehead's bestselling novel of the same name. Harper is set to play Royal, a freeborn black man who encounters a young slave named Cora on her path to escape. There's no word yet on when we may expect to see this one hit the small screen.

You can also catch Harper in the second season of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan as recurring character Xander when the series returns to Amazon on Nov. 1.

Though it's not supposed to hit theatres until June 26, 2020, you can expect to see Manny Jacinto (who plays clueless amateur DJ Jason Mendoza on The Good Place) in Top Gun: Maverick, which is a sequel to the 1986 original. In the action drama, Jacinto will play Fritz, a trainee working under now-flight instructor Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a role reprised by Tom Cruise.

D'Arcy Carden, who plays unfailingly polite robot guide Janet, is set to appear in the forthcoming drama Bombshell, which will hit theatres on Dec. 20. The Roger Ailes biopic will tell the story of the Fox News anchors who took a stand against the sexual misconduct of Fox's late founder and chairman, and though Carden's role in the movie isn't yet known, we're so excited to see her as part of the incredibly impressive cast.
