At the end of the episode, Miles received a message telling him to come to the Annapurna Himalayas. There, he was met by a child on a mountain top, who said to him, “Miles, follow me. She’s been waiting for you.”

Who “she” is, however, was not revealed in the series finale. However, executive producer Bryan Wynbrandt spoke to TVLine to explain what that final scene meant.

In this interview, he revealed that this scene was in some part meant to be a cliffhanger ending that would take the show into Season 3. Wynbrandt said: “We had talked about a version where Season 2 would end with the vision of the mountaintop. But then when we started to get the feeling that the series was coming to an end, we just revisited it as it was always intended to be, which was the series ender.

“But it has the ability to kind of launch us into what would have been a Season 3, in which Miles would have been on a journey to discover who the ‘she’ was and all of that.”

Asked who this ‘she’ was, Wynbrandt said: “It’s in the eye of the beholder. A show like this, it always seemed like it would be a hard ending to say anything definitively, because Steven and I both believe that, like religion itself or like many things in life, it’s what you take from it, and we didn’t want to impress upon our audience an absolute. But I think it’s clear that it’s a spiritual ‘she.’”

Fellow God Friended Me executive producer Steven Lilien told Parade: “From the beginning, we always knew that we wanted Miles to get to that mountaintop and what his emotional journey would be.

“We didn’t anticipate that happening so quickly, but we’d actually shot that footage on the mountain when we did the pilot, because at the time we were thinking about doing a flash forward to it.

“But we ended up pulling back, so we always had that waiting for us when the day came. It came a little bit sooner than we wanted.”

The God Friended Me series finale came two weeks after CBS announced they had canceled the show after two seasons. In the lead-up to the finale, Hall took to Instagram to share his feeling at the show ending. In a Q&A on Instagram Live, he told fans that the cancelation was “completely out of our control” and “a hard pill to swallow.”

The God Friended Me series finale is streaming now on CBS All Access.
