In a significant development, CBS has secured the rights to John Miller’s popular web series, Some Good News (SGN), following an intense bidding competition for the show. Originally launched on YouTube during the pandemic, SGN quickly captivated millions by spotlighting uplifting stories and moments, a welcome relief in challenging times.
Miller initiated the series out of a desire for a platform dedicated to positive news, filling a void that many viewers felt. Over the course of eight episodes, he produced heartwarming content, including a surprise reunion for fans of “The Office,” a special Hamilton performance, virtual graduations, and a unique prom experience, featuring surprise appearances from celebrities. With his departure as host, Miller will remain involved as an executive producer and make occasional guest appearances, but the search for a new host is underway.
In a heartfelt message on social media, Miller expressed gratitude for the support from fans: “Wow, who would have thought that when we started this journey together, we just wanted to see more good news in our lives? And now? You are the good news! Thanks to you, SGN continues, becoming part of this historic news network! Stay tuned!” While many fans are thrilled that the show will continue under CBS, some have expressed their disappointment over Miller not being the face of SGN.
Throughout its run on YouTube, the series gained 2.56 million subscribers, with episodes drawing as many as 17 million views each. The need for uplifting news has never been more evident, and Miller’s presence brought a unique charm to the show. CBS echoed this sentiment, stating on Twitter, “On John Miller’s very first episode of Some Good News, he asked why there has never been a news show fully focused on good news. We at CBS agree and are excited to welcome SGN to our family!”
In the final episode, Miller hinted at a hiatus, stating, “We’re taking a break for now, but there is more to come! Stay tuned.” With CBS now at the helm, fans can look forward to the continuation of SGN, hopefully maintaining the spirit that made the original series so beloved.
