Amazon announced on 14th November 2019 that Goliath Season 4 would be returning with its fourth and final season after three successful seasons.
We expected the fourth season in November 2020, but the pandemic caused considerable delays. Therefore, we researched and came across several interviews and other reports. Now we believe the highly anticipated Goliath season 4 will most likely land on Amazon prime in the first month of 2021.

What is leading to the late release of Goliath Season 4?
The first season of Goliath aired in 2016. It had eight episodes. The second season again with eight episodes, aired in 2018. Finally, the third season aired at the end of 2019. So, if you follow the timeline, you will realize that the fourth season should have released in 2020. However, as we know, the pandemic started in 2020. The global lockdowns made it hard for the director and the cast to shoot. Recently, Bruce Dern told Forbes he was supposed to start filming Goliath season 4 alongside William Hurt, J.K. Simmons, and Billy Bob. But he couldn’t due to the restrictions. The shooting began in December 2020 after a long halt, but we cannot confirm a release date yet.The trailer of Goliath Season 4?

In 2019 Entertainment Weekly did an interview with Billy Bob Thornton. Billy said he is inclined to the show if another season airs. In addition to it, he expects the show will find a way to get him back because his character is important for the success of the show. Moreover, the presence of Billy McBride is further confirmed after the paparazzi took his photo on the sets of Goliath in December 2020.What is the storyline of Goliath Season 4?
No credible source has confirmed the plot. However, we are expecting that the story will continue from where the third season ended. Therefore, it will pick up from the part where Billy’s life was in danger. As fans, we have to wait a bit longer to know what will eventually happen to Billy. The executive producer of Goliath, Lawrence Trilling, spilled some news about the plot. He said he was happy to have another season of Goliath. In addition, he said the protagonists in this season would come across a global crisis capable of impacting a generation.

Goliath will end after season 4. Why?
Goliath is one of the most popular series on Amazon prime. It received a number of nominations for many awards. Besides, the critics have given decent reviews on the show.

So why is such a successful show coming to an end only after four seasons? Well, we don’t really know the exact reason. When Amazon studios made the official announcement of season 4, they said Goliath Season 4 is the last season. Executive producer Vernon Sanders revealed the news of the last season. He thanked the cast members Billy Bob, Larry, Geyer, Jennifer, Steve, and the entire Goliath team for the success of the series. Overall he was thankful for everything about the show. In conclusion, we can only speculate. Maybe the writers didn’t want to increase seasons and episodes without reason. They wanted to end the series around a well-developed plot and thrill. The last two seasons of the show received diverse views from the critics and the audience. The rating for the last two seasons was reduced by some values. So maybe the producers thought it was not a good idea to continue the show. In the end, the fans have to wait and be content with Goliath Season 4.
