Kristen Bell's Next Act After The Good Place? Being Herself
, executive produced and hosted the upcoming Disney+ series"I have a bunch of other things and it just takes an enormous amount of hours and an enormous amount of focus, and I would like to have the next couple of months to get my kids back on track for school and really just live in my own body for a minute, just for a couple of months," Bell said."I'm not quitting or anything…I like being an actress, I love being Kristen and I'm going to rediscover that this fall.
"I'm going to be processing it for a while. Also, because when I think about it, when people are like, ‘The ending' and ‘Why?' I start to recall what the ending means and what the plot points are and what the message is, and it is—," Bell paused, her eyes welling up."It might be the most beautiful thing I've ever been a part of.
"[Mike Schur] didn't just end our story, he completed an idea and that is so rare. Especially being a part ofand other shows, which have endings that some people like and some people don't. I don't think…anyone will not like this because it's true. He wrote down some real truths," she said. For four years, Bell played Eleanor Shellstrop, a woman who, well, didn't live her best life. After dying, she found herself in the Good Place, but quickly realized it was a mistake, she really belonged in the Bad Place. Eventually, Eleanor figured out what she thought was the Good Place was actually a torture experiment, she had been in the Bad Place the whole time.
"It was such an honor to show the power of change and what it could do to someone. And, it was especially satisfying for me, for Mike to have written her the same girl who makes different choices," Bell said."Eleanor still calls everyone babe and dude and will still give you sh—t and will still make fun of you once in a while, but her intent has changed. What she needs out of life has changed because she has formed emotional bonds with people.
