Will Good Omens Season 3 Ever Happen?
Although Gaiman's desire for Good Omens season 3 remains uncertain, there is currently no information regarding its existence. If it does receive approval, fans might have to endure another lengthy wait for new episodes. This pattern was previously observed in season 1, which originally launched as a limited series in 2019 and was only renewed for a second season in 2021, resulting in a substantial four-year gap between seasons.
Should season 3 follow a similar trajectory to season 2, it may not be released until at least 2027. The confirmation of season 2 faced delays due to the pandemic, and the greenlight for season 3 is likely to be postponed until the conclusion of the ongoing dual strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA). As of now, these strikes are impeding the development and production of projects worldwide.
The future of Good Omens hinges on the success of season 2. If the viewership numbers match or surpass those of season 1, Prime Video will be enthusiastic about greenlighting a new season sooner rather than later. However, it may take up to 28 days for the numbers to accumulate before a decision is made, if a new season is approved at all.
