CBS Fall series 'God Friended Me' premiere Sunday, September 30.

A humorous, uplifting drama about an outspoken atheist whose life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on Facebook from “God."

Miles Finer (Brandon Micheal Hall) is intelligent, hopeful and optimistic, but he doesn’t believe in God. He unwittingly becomes an agent of change in the lives and destinies of others around him.

Miles is at odds with his father, Reverend Arthur Finer (Joe Morton), a beloved preacher at Harlem’s Trinity Church for 25 years who is stung by his son’s strong rejection of his faith. Miles feels he’s found his purpose in life by hosting a podcast where he’s free to speak his mind, but that changes when he receives the ultimate friend request.

After repeated pokes by “God,” Miles’ curiosity takes over, and he accepts the request and follows the signs to various people.
