Michael Sheen is back as angel/rare-book dealer Aziraphale and David Tennant returns as the demon Crowley for a third – and final – season of Prime Video’s incredibly engaging series Good Omens. Filming is expected to get underway soon in Scotland, with author Neil Gaiman back as writer, executive producer, and showrunner.
“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. 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.”
Season one premiered in May 2019 and season two finally launched in July 2023. Prime Video hasn’t announced a target date for the debut of season three.
“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,” stated Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios. “The final season is sure to be packed with the same dynamic energy that our global customers have come to enjoy.”
Good Omens is based on Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. Narrativia’s Rob Wilkins (representing Terry Pratchett’s estate) and BBC Studios Productions’ head of comedy Josh Cole executive produce. The series is an Amazon MGM Studios, BBC Studios Productions, the Blank Corporation, and Narrativia production.
“We’re delighted to see Crowley and Aziraphale returning after breaking our hearts in Season Two. Seeing award-winning duo David [Tennant] and Michael [Sheen] reunited will be such a joy. We only wish Terry was here to enjoy the ride with us,” said Wilkins.
