Divine News: 'Good Omens' Is Returning to Face Armageddon Again for a Third and Final Season
Michael Sheen and David Tennant will make a heavenly pair one last time — tackling the end of the world again, of course.
End times really are upon us — end times for Good Omens, that is. The beloved series about an angel and a demon teaming up to stop the apocalypse has locked in a third season; however, this'll finish its on-screen story, with Prime Video revealing that the Michael Sheen (Best Interests)- and David Tennant (Ahsoka)-led show will return for one final run.
"I'm so happy finally to be able to finish the story Terry and I plotted in 1989 and in 2006. Terry was determined that if we made Good Omens for television, we could take the story all the way to the end," said Neil Gaiman, with the series based the 1990 novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch that he wrote with fellow fantasy author Terry Pratchett.
"Season one was all about averting armageddon, dangerous prophecies and the end of the world. Season two was sweet and gentle, although it may have ended less joyfully than a certain angel and demon might have hoped."
"Now in season three, 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," Gaiman continued.
Exactly when the series will stream its final season hasn't been revealed as yet, but filming is set to start in Scotland soon, Prime Video advised. So, that should mean that fans won't be in for a four-year wait to see Sheen as the angel Aziraphale and Tennant as the demon Crowley again, as happened between season one and season two.
Who else will return among the cast also hasn't been announced — but Jon Hamm (Fargo), Doon Mackichan (Toast of Tinseltown), Gloria Obianyo (Dune), Miranda Richardson (Rams), Maggie Service (Life) and Nina Sosanya (His Dark Materials) have been key parts of the show since season one.
Neil Gaiman is back as executive producer, writer and co-showrunner, helping guide yet another season that expands past its source material.
"Good Omens has checked every box for a clever, witty and funny comedy that not only made it a success on Prime Video, but also made 'goodness' watchable and fun thanks to Neil and Terry's immense creativity. The final season is sure to be packed with the same dynamic energy that our global customers have come to enjoy," said Vernon Sanders, Amazon MGM Studios' Head of Television.
"We're delighted to see Crowley and Aziraphale returning after breaking our hearts in season two. 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," added Rob Wilkins, Good Omens' executive producer.
