One more Armageddon for the road. It’s official: Good Omens will return for a third (and final) season.
The Prime Video series is based on the novel of the same name by acclaimed authors Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett. The show first launched as a limited series of six episodes in 2019. However, outstanding fan support led to a season 2, in which Gaiman helped expand the story he originally envisioned with the late Pratchett.
Though the pair never wrote a follow up novel, Gaiman says they did map out what would happen next for Aziraphale and Crowley. The upcoming season of the Prime Video series will finally bring those ideas from over 30 years ago to life.
“I’m so happy finally to be able to finish the story Terry and I plotted in 1989 and in 2006,” said Gaiman. “Terry was determined that if we made Good Omens for television, we could take the story all the way to the end.”
We don’t have an official synopsis or specific details about season 3 just yet. However, Gaiman offered a brief tease:
“Season 1 was all about averting Armageddon, dangerous prophecies, and the End of the World. Season 2 was sweet and gentle, although it may have ended less joyfully than a certain Angel and Demon might have hoped. Now in Season 3, we will deal once more with the end of the world. The plans for Armageddon are going wrong. Only Crowley and Aziraphale working together can hope to put it right. And they aren’t talking,” said Gaiman.
Season 3 will see David Tennant reprise his role as the demon Crowley and Michael Sheen as the angel Aziraphale.
“We’re delighted to see Crowley and Aziraphale returning after breaking our hearts in Season 2. Seeing award-winning duo David and Michael reunited will be such a joy. We only wish Terry was here to enjoy the ride with us,” said Rob Wilkins, executive producer.
The final season will begin filming soon in Scotland. You can stream the first two seasons of Good Omens on Prime Video now.
