Setting the Record Straight: Neil Gaiman Addresses Rumored Good Omens Season 3 Scripts

Summary

Neil Gaiman debunks alleged leaked scripts of Good Omens season 3, assuring fans that they are not legitimate. He urges viewers to be more diligent when navigating rumors.

Season 3 of Good Omens is currently being developed, drawing inspiration from a storyline that Gaiman and Terry Pratchett had envisioned as a sequel to the original book. Reliable sources indicate a high probability of a renewal for season 3, and fans can expect the much-loved duo of David Tennant and Michael Sheen to reprise their roles. However, it is important to note that the narrative for season 3 will deviate from the fabricated leaked scripts.

Neil Gaiman has confirmed that the alleged leaked scripts of Good Omens season 3, circulating online, are fake. Gaiman, the creator of Good Omens and the primary writer for the TV show adaptation, clarified this on his personal Tumblr. Some internet users had claimed that the script for the new episodes had already leaked, but Gaiman debunked these rumors and urged viewers to be more vigilant when navigating such rumors.

Sighs.

Googles.

Notices that the “script leak” ends in /j.

Breathe, people. Think and breathe.

Does anyone actually think this reads like an actual Good Omens script I wrote? It’s barely even in English.

Is Good Omens Season 3 In The Works?

The rumors gaining momentum could be partly attributed to the anticipation and excitement surrounding the possibility of Good Omens season 3. After premiering in July, fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the show's future. Originally intended as a miniseries, the immense popularity of Good Omens led Gaiman to develop a new storyline for subsequent seasons, as the first season covered the contents of the novel. As a result, there is already a planned narrative for Good Omens season 3.

Gaiman and Pratchett initially had intentions of writing a sequel to the original book, but Gaiman found it challenging to transition from season 1 of Good Omens to the planned sequel. However, he does plan to base season 3 on the sequel. In late September, Gaiman confirmed that he would soon begin working on the scripts for season 3 now that the WGA strike has ended. As usual, he remains secretive about the storyline and has assured viewers that no details will be shared. Nonetheless, it is reassuring to know that season 3 has a storyline and that the scripts may already be in progress.

Good Omens has recently received encouraging news, as reports suggest that a renewal for season 3 is highly likely. However, it is worth noting that co-showrunner Douglas Mackinnon will not be involved in the upcoming season. David Tennant and Michael Sheen, on the other hand, are already confirmed to reprise their roles if season 3 is approved, indicating that Prime Video is actively working towards renewing the series. While the final confirmation is still pending, the prospects for Good Omens season 3 look promising, especially considering that the storyline will deviate from the fake leaked scripts.
