The Bad Place continues the story after Eleanor (Kristen Bell), Chidi (William Jackson Harper), Tahani (Jameela Jamil), Jason (Manny Jacinto), and Michael (Ted Danson) create a new afterlife system. But Kenny (Nicholas Cage), the first demon and current executive of the Bad Place, rewinds time to 1900 to trap the four humans in eternal torment without awareness of their fate. With help from Marcielle (Dove Cameron), Kenny builds a ruthless system of torture while Magdeline (Scarlett Johansson), the universe’s first angel, is sent by Judge Gen (Maya Rudolph) to stop him. Meanwhile, Michael creates a new neighborhood of horrors, and legendary figures like John (Logan Lerman) and Clarence Albert Lee (John Ratzenberger) shake the foundation of the Bad Place. Mixing dark comedy and supernatural drama, The Bad Place explores themes of free will, justice, and redemption in an afterlife where nothing is quite as it seems.
