Prime Video will be treating Good Omens fans to behind-the-scenes videos in support of the series’ second season, with plans to drop more than a dozen before the show returns for the new season. The first featurette is packed with tidbits about season two and features Michael Sheen, David Tennant, and director/co-showrunner Douglas MacKinnon.
“The kind of world that Neil (Gaiman) and Terry Pratchett created here, it seems to be expanding out into the world in all kinds of unexpected and truly joyful ways,” offered Sheen. MacKinnon added, “If season one was a comedy about the end of the world, season two is a comedy about the beginning of everything else.”
The behind-the-scenes video was shot during production (well before the strike) and also includes cast members Miranda Richardson, Doon Mackichan, Liz Carr, Shelley Conn, Quelin Sepulveda, Gloria Obianyo, Maggie Service, and Nina Sosanya.
Prime Video plans to launch the exclusive footage on their X-Ray feature, debuting as part of X-Ray’s special “For the Fans!” promotion. Blooper footage, deleted and extended scenes, and trivia will also go live on X-Ray after Good Omens season two premieres.
The six-episode second season arrives on July 28, 2023.
Good Omens Season 2 Plot
Originally based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling novel, Good Omens 2 explores storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the ineffable friendship between Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), a fussy angel and rare-book dealer, and the fast-living demon Crowley (David Tennant). Having been on Earth since The Beginning, and with the Apocalypse thwarted, the duo are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho. That is, until the archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) turns up unexpectedly at the door of Aziraphale’s bookshop with no memory of who he is or how he got there.
While Crowley is leery as to why the archangel has come to the bookshop, Aziraphale is keen to solve the mystery behind Gabriel’s condition. However, hiding the archangel from both Heaven and Hell quickly disrupts their lives in unforeseen ways. To solve this mystery and thwart Heaven and Hell in the process, the duo will need more than a miracle; they’ll need to once again rely on each other.
A mystery that takes us from before The Beginning, to biblical times, grave robbing in Victorian Edinburgh, the Blitz of 1940s England, all the way through to modern day, Good Omens 2 stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant as angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley, respectively. Also reprising their roles are Jon Hamm as archangel Gabriel, Doon Mackichan as archangel Michael, and Gloria Obianyo as archangel Uriel. Returning this season in new roles are Miranda Richardson as demon Shax, Maggie Service as Maggie, and Nina Sosanya as Nina, with new faces joining the misfits in Heaven and Hell: Liz Carr as angel Saraqael, Quelin Sepulveda as angel Muriel, and Shelley Conn as demon Beelzebub.
