The show’s audience has grown steadily over its first two seasons. From THR:

So far this season, The Good Place has averaged a 2.0 rating among adults 18-49 and 6.2 million total viewers, with seven days of delayed viewing. When additional platform viewing is taken into account, the show’s ratings grows to a 2.6 in the key demo, a bump up from its 2.57 rating compared with this time last season.
