Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The Good Place is finally going to be broadcast in the UK.

Channel 4 has announced that the acclaimed sitcom will debut on E4 later this year, on the 13 December at 9pm.

The series has previously only been available to Netflix subscribers, with the streaming service hosting the first two seasons as well as the third which it's currently releasing weekly.

The Good Place follows four deceased humans – played by Kristen Bell, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, and Manny Jacinto – as they traverse the afterlife.

Ted Danson plays an angelic deity who controls their heaven-like world, known as The Good Place. However, everything is not as it seems.

Created by Parks and Recreation‘s Michael Shur, the show originally aired in the US on the network NBC. It also stars D’Arcy Carden as the robotic guide Janet, Adam Scott as the Good Place resident Trevor, and Maya Rudolph as Judge Hydrogen.
