Exclusive Insights: Good Omens Season 2 Plots Unveiled by Liz Carr, Quelin Sepulveda​​​​​​​ & Shelley Conn

Good Omens continues the journey of demon Crowley and angel Aziraphale as they navigate life on Earth after preventing Armageddon. Despite eluding punishment from Heaven and Hell, their tranquility is disrupted when an unexpected visitor, a memoryless archangel named Gabriel, arrives at Aziraphale's bookstore. While Aziraphale seeks answers, Crowley initially hesitates to involve himself in assisting an archangel. Nevertheless, he reluctantly joins his friend in unraveling a mystery that stretches from the origins of time to the present day. Once again, Heaven and Hell play a central role in this enigma.

Returning to their respective roles from season 1 are David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm, Doon Mackichan, and Gloria Obianyo. Miranda Richardson, Maggie Service, and Nina Sosanya, however, return in season 2 as new characters. Joining the illustrious cast are Liz Carr, Quelin Sepulveda, and Shelley Conn. Neil Gaiman, the author of the bestselling novel that inspired the series, serves as the executive producer and co-showrunner alongside Douglas MacKinnon, who once again directs every episode of the season. Moreover, executive producer John Finnemore joins Gaiman as co-writer for Good Omens season 2.

Liz Carr, Quelin Sepulveda & Shelley Conn Talk Good Omens Season 2

Screen Rant: I love this show! Season two is amazing! You all are fantastic!

Quelin Sepulveda: Oh, good.

Shelley Conn: That's really kind thank you.

Could you share your experience working with David and Michael? I really appreciate the dynamics you have with Crowley and Aziraphale.

Shelley Conn: They are truly a blessing to work with. They are skilled professionals who bring a strong presence to their performances. They are adept at improvisation and make excellent scene partners, allowing ample room for others to fully immerse themselves in the work. Their generosity is genuine, and despite their impressive abilities, they create an inclusive and comfortable environment without being imposing.

Quelin Sepulveda: The entire experience, both on and off screen, was incredibly effortless. The set had an atmosphere that was relaxed, inclusive, and supportive, thanks to the tone set by everyone involved, including Neil, Douglas, and the rest of the team. It made coming to work feel extremely welcoming and not at all intimidating. I couldn't believe it when I found out I would be acting alongside David Tennant and Michael Sheen!

Shelley Conn: They made you feel included.

Quelin Sepulveda: Definitely. Absolutely.

Liz Carr: I find it genuinely delightful to work on the show with them because it truly belongs to them. We might associate it with them, but they don't behave in a possessive manner, which is truly wonderful. They welcome you into their world.

Shelley Conn: Capturing the essence from season one while making them your own this season, as you mentioned.

Shelley Conn was fortunate enough to witness Anna Maxwell Martin's extraordinary portrayal. She greatly admired Martin's performance and even had the privilege of wearing the exact costume that Martin had donned. Just by slipping into that suit, along with the wig, Conn experienced a transformative effect. In addition, Conn added her own personal touches to the costume. She had a random idea of incorporating fishnet gloves, which she casually mentioned, only to have someone immediately fetch them for her. The experience left Conn astounded. They made some adjustments, such as selecting a slightly longer pair of gloves and topping it off with a hat instead of a fly. Wearing the costume felt like an invitation to embrace what had been done previously, allowing Conn to assimilate it without overthinking. It served as a platform for Conn to take off from and explore the next chapter of the same world.

I thought all of your characters had such amazing arcs this season. What was the most surprising part of each of your character arcs?

Shelley Conn: As it's the conclusion, I am unable to disclose the details, can I? However, each character reaches a point that makes you go, "Wow, alright then?" I believe that's the brilliance of this writing - it takes something already highly imaginative, creative, and unique, and seamlessly incorporates new narratives that possess progression, complexity, and advancement.

Quelin Sepulveda: That applies to all of them as well.

Shelley Conn: Yeah! I think fans will love it and maybe even people that didn't know they were fans.

Did you guys have a favorite part of your arcs?

Quelin Sepulveda: To be honest, I believe that Murielle is truly benefiting from this experience. It's like they're experiencing sensory overload for the first time. It's the sheer joy of inhabiting a human body for the very first time. It's this childlike curiosity and fascination. There are countless little moments that contribute to their excitement, especially the thrill of coming to Earth for the first time. It's like being in Disney World, absolute Disney World. They have that "I want to go on all the rides!" kind of energy, multiplied by two!

Liz Carr: In Saraqael's case, it's about embracing the challenge and moving forward with it. They possess some instincts about what's happening. Due to the existing hierarchies, they have to strategically make others believe that it's their ideas, when in reality, it's theirs. Therefore, by going along with this approach, we can witness their intelligence and ability to perceive things.

About Good Omens Season 2

Despite the sarcasm and jadedness, there is a sense of determination and motivation. It's like saying, "Alright, let's do this. This is our opportunity." I appreciate that. She doesn't simply remain in her office doing nothing. It serves as a call to action. They need to take action, and many times, they take the lead in getting things started. And with your assistance, of course.

After successfully preventing Armageddon, the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley resume their lives amongst humans. However, their tranquility is shattered when the archangel Gabriel appears at Aziraphale's doorstep, suffering from amnesia. Aziraphale is determined to unravel the enigma, while Crowley reluctantly aids him, wary of Gabriel's intentions. This perplexing puzzle stretches back in time from before the creation of the world and extends to the present day, once again pitting the duo against both Heaven and Hell.
