Good Omens season 2 is set to introduce an entirely new journey for Aziraphale and Crowley. When season 1 of Good Omens was released in 2019, the show was initially meant to work as a limited series with a six-episode order.
The Prime Video hit, which follows angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and his best friend, a demon named Crowley (David Tennant), as they attempt to prevent Armageddon, is based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s 1990 novel of the same name.
After critical praise — and a mini episode titled Good Omens: Lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 — the streamer surprised fans when it announced the show would be returning for a second season, featuring an entirely new story for the unlikely duo.
“Neil always talked about the idea that he and Terry [Pratchett] had talked quite a bit about future storylines and that they had worked out quite a lot of it, actually. They just never got around to writing it down in a book,” Sheen told Collider in July 2023.
“So there was quite a lot of material already in his head. One of the wonderful things about this, as well, working on this project, has been how much myself and David have been able to collaborate with Neil on the characters and inhabit them and bring them to life, and developing the relationship between them and the storylines. So it’s felt very collaborative, but then, of course, Neil is very good at making it feel collaborative even when he knows exactly what he wants”.
