While Eleanor and Tahani’s relationship is pretty complicated on-screen, Jamil and Bell are firm friends in real life: in fact, Jamil credits Bell for teaching her everything she knows about acting. So, as you’d expect, she’s been keeping her co-star well and truly up-to-date with any fan-fiction developments, too.

“I texted Kristen Bell about it,” said Jamil. “She thought it was hilarious, and I think she’s all for it.

“Her character is openly attracted to my character throughout both seasons. So, you know, maybe season three.”

Speaking of which, The Good Place will return for its third season on 27 September. And, as has been the case in the past, it’s expected that the first episode (a special hour-long treat) will air in the US on that date and will then appear on Netflix UK the following day (28 Sep).
