Exciting New Details on Good Omens Season 3 Revealed by Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman hints at the storyline for Good Omens season 3 before the release of season 2. Gaiman, along with Terry Pratchett, co-authored the 1990 novel that inspired the Prime Video series. The show premiered in 2019 and stars Michael Sheen as the angel Aziraphale and David Tennant as the demon Crowley. Good Omens explores the significant relationship between these two characters as they strive to prevent the apocalypse.

During an interview with SFX Magazine prior to the highly anticipated release of Good Omens season 2, Gaiman shares an update on season 3. Despite the lengthy gap between seasons 1 and 2, Gaiman assures that there is a plan for potential future seasons of the show and that season 3 would continue with the beloved characters from the previous seasons. Read his comments below.

How Good Omens Season 2 Can Set Up Season 3

Because there exists a hypothetical season three, there lies a narrative that I felt was not possible to transition directly from season one into. I had a clear understanding of the stakes and parameters involved. Additionally, I had both David [Tennant] and Michael [Sheen], as well as the angels and demons from plot number one. And while there were other characters I wanted to include, I didn't have to bring them back in their original forms due to the lack of space at the moment.

Season 1 of Good Omens adapted the events from the novel, prompting Gaiman to develop a fresh storyline for season 2 and beyond. The trailer for Good Omens season 2 unveils crucial details that could impact season 3. During the gap between seasons 1 and 2, Heaven and Hell have been monitoring the actions of Aziraphale and Crowley, but refrained from interfering in their lives. However, this is expected to change as they unite once more to prevent a potential celestial conflict.

Gaiman's mention of angels and demons "from plot number one" suggests that these entities may have a significant impact on Aziraphale and Crowley in a potential season 3. Good Omens season 2 appears to center around matters that are less connected to Earth, as Adria Arjona, Jack Whitehall, Michael McKean, and Sam Taylor Buck, who played human or human-related characters in season 1, will not be returning for season 2. This indicates that season 3 might continue this trend and explore the realms of Heaven and Hell more extensively.

The highly anticipated season 2 of the series focuses on the disappearance of the Archangel Gabriel (played by Jon Hamm), which triggers the brewing of a war. Crowley and Aziraphale reunite to prevent this conflict, and the trailer reveals that Gabriel is hiding in Aziraphale's bookshop. It is evident that the secrets between Crowley and Aziraphale may once again come to a head in season 2, potentially leading to a deeper rift in their relationship as season 3 approaches. Regardless of the outcome in season 2, Gaiman's words imply that Tennant and Sheen will return for Good Omens season 3.
