About this show:
Gd Friended Me stars Brandon Micheal Hall in a humorous, uplifting drama about Miles Finer (Hall), an outspoken atheist whose life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social media from God and unwittingly becomes an agent of change in the lives and destinies of others around him. After repeated pokes by God, Miles' curiosity takes over, and he accepts the ultimate friend request and follows the signs to Cara Bloom (Violett Beane), an online journalist. Brought together by the "God Account," the two find themselves investigating God's friend suggestions and inadvertently helping others in need. Miles is set on getting to the bottom of what he believes is an elaborate hoax, but in the meantime he'll play along and, in the process, change his life forever. Steven Lilien & Bryan Wynbrandt, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Marcos Siega are executive producers for Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios. Siega directed the pilot from a script by Lilien & Wynbrandt.
I am deeply saddened by the news God Befriended me cancelled. This show brings Love, Hope,and Helping other people, which we need right now on this earth. We need to spread the word of God!
Totally agree that this is one of the more uplifting shows currently running, leaving the violence and sexual drama behind.
We are so sorry to see this show end. Amid all the violent shows on TV this is an uplifting change. These characters and the stories they bring us are an inspiration to viewers. I really look forward to each week’s episode and will miss this.
