When Neil Gaiman said he was already writing a third season of Good Omens, it did, one must admit, seem likely that such a thing would come to pass. But now it is officially official: a third and final season is coming to Prime Video.
Which means it’s the end of the world again.
In a press release, Gaiman said:
I’m so happy finally to be able to finish the story Terry [Pratchett] 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. 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.
It’s very satisfying, isn’t it, knowing that we’ll get to see the ending that Gaiman and Pratchett planned all those years ago?
One thing will be different about this season, though: Douglas Mackinnon, who was Gaiman’s co-showrunner (and also a director) for seasons one and two, is no longer involved with the show.
We also don’t know anything about the cast for season three yet—except that David Tennant and Michael Sheen will return as Crowley and Aziraphale.
Good Omens 3 will start filming “soon” in Scotland. No release date has been announced.
