Based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s 1990 novel of the same name, the first series of Good Omens explores several lofty ideals within the charming, often hilarious tale, tackling various Christian themes and figures, all of which are handled with the humor and insight that both Gaiman and Pratchett are well known for.
Centering on Michael Sheen and David Tennant as Aziraphale and Crowley, an angel and a demon, who over 6000-years have formed a bond that transcends their respective sides in the holy war. Picking up in 2018, the long-time angel and demon acquaintances have grown accustomed to life on Earth as representatives of Heaven and Hell but must seek to prevent the coming of the Antichrist and thus Armageddon, in the final battle between Heaven and Hell. The first season features a hugely talented ensemble cast including Adria Arjona, Miranda Richardson, Michael McKean, Jack Whitehall, Jon Hamm, and Frances McDormand as the voice of God.
While the first season was initially intended as a standalone limited series, with the events of season 1 covering the entirety of the source novel, season 2 came as a welcome surprise to fans, all of whom cannot wait to see Tennant and Sheen share the screen once again. With no source material to draw from, Gaiman has explained why he was drawn to continuing the story of Aziraphale and Crowly on the small screen. “It’s 31 years since Good Omens was published, which means it’s 32 years since Terry Pratchett and I lay in our respective beds in a Seattle hotel room at a World Fantasy Convention, and plotted the sequel,” Gaiman said in a statement.
“I got to use bits of the sequel in Good Omens – that’s where our angels came from,” he continued. “Terry’s not here any longer, but when he was, we had talked about what we wanted to do with Good Omens, and where the story went next. And now, thanks to BBC Studios and Amazon, I get to take it there. I have enlisted some wonderful collaborators, and John Finnemore has come on board to carry the torch with me. There are so many questions people have asked about what happened next (and also, what happened before) to our favorite Angel and Demon.”
Though plot details are being kept under wraps, Neil Gaiman has since offered some insight into what audiences can expect, revealing that second season of Good Omens will once again take place in London, and begins “with an angel wandering through Soho, with no memory.” Gaiman will once again serve as co-showrunner with Douglas Mackinnon and co-writer with John Finnemore. Good Omens 2 does not yet have a release date, and will come courtesy of Amazon Prime Video. This comes to us from the Twitter accounts of Georgia Tennant and Michael Sheen.
