Good Omens will get a proper ending, but it will be with a shorter final season than expected.
The Prime Video series, which was originally going to be ending with a third and final season, will be wrapping up with one 90-minute episode. Neil Gaiman, who co-wrote the book on which it’s based with Terry Pratchett, will not be working on production following allegations of sexual assault against him. He has contributed to the writing of the series finale.
Production on the episode is expected to begin in early 2025 in Scotland. It will “bring to life a serendipitous conversation from almost 35 years ago, between the late Sir Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, where they mapped out ‘what happens next’ to the wonderful characters in the world of their internationally best-selling novel,” according to Prime Video.
The series follows Michael Sheen‘s angel Aziraphale and David Tennant‘s demon Crowley, beginning with them trying to stop the apocalypse in Season 1. Season 2 ended with the two separated, and Aziraphale heading off to Heaven to take the position of Supreme Archangel and Crowley turning down an offer to go with him and be an angel again. Instead, the demon wanted them to be “an us” and go off together, and the two parted ways following a heartbreaking kiss.
“One of the extraordinary things about being a part of [Good Omens] is the audience, the fans, the fandom of it. You have to take it very seriously because people get really affected by it,” Sheen told TV Insider in August. “And seeing how people reacted to the end of Season 2 was extraordinary. So yeah, I hope, and I’m sure, that Season 3 will be a satisfying experience for everyone.”
Rob Wilkins of Narrativia, representing Terry Pratchett’s estate, as well as BBC Studios Productions’ head of comedy Josh Cole will executive produce. The new season is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, BBC Studios Productions, the Blank Corporation, and Narrativia.
