The Epic Revelation that Will Completely Transform Aziraphale and Crowley in Good Omens Season 3

Summary

Good Omens season 2 ended with a twist and cliffhanger, leaving fans speculating about what's next for Aziraphale and Crowley.

Possible Rewritten Version:

Possible theories revolve around Adam's potential return, the revelation of Crowley as the archangel Raphael or even Lucifer, and Muriel regaining their memories as a formidable archangel.

There are also alternate theories proposing Aziraphale's involvement in Crowley's expulsion from Heaven, and speculating that the true antagonist of the series is the Metatron.

The second season of Good Omens concluded with a dramatic plot twist and an unresolved cliffhanger, sparking speculation about the future of Aziraphale and Crowley in the upcoming third season. In 2019, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's novel, Good Omens, was adapted into a TV series for Amazon Prime, introducing viewers to the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley. The initial season faithfully depicted the entire novel, necessitating the writers to craft a fresh storyline for the second season that would continue to delve into the characters' backgrounds while embarking on a new adventure.

In season 2 of Good Omens, Aziraphale and Crowley reunite when the archangel Gabriel unexpectedly appears at Aziraphale's bookstore disoriented and unclothed, carrying an empty box and devoid of memory. The two protagonists strive to conceal Gabriel from both Heaven and Hell, leading them to a significant revelation involving the archangel and Hell's Beelzebub. The season draws to a close with Crowley and Aziraphale parting ways after Crowley confession his affection for Aziraphale, and the Metatron offering a tantalizing hint about what lies ahead. As a result, numerous theories have arisen regarding the possible developments in Good Omens season 3 that could potentially alter the entire narrative.

10 Adam Returns In Good Omens Season 3

Adam Young fulfilled the prophecy as the Antichrist in season 1 of Good Omens, triggering the Apocalypse but ultimately bringing it to an end. Confronting his true father, Satan, Adam boldly declared that he was not his son, altering the course of events and preventing the world's destruction. Although Adam resumed his ordinary life, he retained certain extraordinary abilities, exemplified by his ability to wither a bush to aid Dog's escape. In the realm of Heaven, the forthcoming endeavor is not another Armageddon but rather the Second Coming, signifying the return of Jesus. However, in the quirky world of Good Omens, this event is bound to be chaotic. As per Christian tradition, the Antichrist is intricately connected to the Second Coming, therefore it would not be surprising if Adam were to reappear, even if he is no longer considered Satan's offspring.

9 Crowley Is Revealed To Be The Archangel Raphael

Despite the flashbacks in Good Omens exploring Aziraphale and Crowley's past, there remain unanswered questions about them. One of the most intriguing inquiries revolves around Crowley's identity as a fallen angel, with theories suggesting he may be Raphael. Notably, the archangel Raphael has yet to make an appearance or be mentioned in the series, always being substituted by another angel (Sandalphon in season 1 and Saraquael in season 2). Several aspects lend support to this theory, such as Crowley's involvement in setting the universe in motion and his efforts to foster a romantic connection between Nina and Maggie – qualities associated with Raphael and his association with love and marriage.

8 Crowley Is Actually Lucifer

7 Muriel Was Once A Powerful Archangel (& Worked Closely With Crowley)

An alternative theory regarding the true identity of fallen angel, Crowley, suggests that he is actually Lucifer, although this notion may complicate the storyline of Good Omens to some extent. One of the indicators supporting this theory is the fact that Crowley posed as the serpent in the Garden of Eden, enticing Eve to partake of the forbidden apple. Furthermore, he displayed all the kingdoms of the world to Jesus when they were in the desert, and being labeled as Lucifer, which translates to "light-bringer," aligns with his role in bringing light to the universe. However, this theory becomes intricate due to Crowley's mention of spending time with "Lucifer and the guys." Nevertheless, it is plausible that Heaven erases the memories of those who have been demoted, so it is conceivable that the same occurrence transpires for those banished like Crowley, causing him to forget that he and Lucifer are one and the same.

In Good Omens season 2, a new character called Muriel is introduced as a low-ranking angel who consistently displays a positive attitude and a cheerful demeanor. According to certain speculations, Muriel might have been a formidable archangel in the past and had a close association with Crowley during his time as an archangel. However, unlike Crowley who was banished, Muriel was demoted, which involved having their memories erased. As a result, Muriel has no recollection of their former role as an archangel or their alliance with Crowley. Nevertheless, if Muriel manages to retrieve their lost memories, they could potentially uncover the truth about Heaven and the Metatron.

6 Good Omens Season 3 Will Reveal Aziraphale Got Crowley Cast Out From Heaven

Good Omens season 3 might finally uncover the truth behind Crowley's expulsion from Heaven, and a theory circulating on Reddit implicates Aziraphale as the catalyst. Flashbacks reveal Aziraphale's apparent worry regarding Crowley's doubts about God's plan, raising the possibility that Aziraphale may have reported him to the Metatron, resulting in his banishment. Though Aziraphale's intentions may have been genuine, his unease about being in close proximity to Crowley could stem from a sense of responsibility for the consequences of his actions. This is evident in his persistent insistence on welcoming Crowley back to Heaven and seeking reinstatement to rectify the situation.

5 Aziraphale & Crowley’s Fate Will Mirror Gabriel & Beelzebub’s

Uncertainty looms over the future of Good Omens as season 3's potential status as the final season remains ambiguous. Should this prove to be the end, Aziraphale and Crowley could mirror Gabriel and Beelzebub's fate with a poignant conclusion. Given Crowley's candid admission of his feelings for Aziraphale, the angel must grapple with his own emotions before proceeding. However, considering their past actions and the repercussions faced by Gabriel and Beelzebub, Heaven and Hell would undoubtedly disapprove of Aziraphale and Crowley's union. To circumvent this, a potential solution could entail leaving their current realm and seeking refuge in a distant location like Alpha Centauri. Only then can they embrace their love without trepidation regarding the wrath of Heaven and Hell.

4 Crowley Will No Longer Be A Demon In Good Omens Season 3

The observation that Crowley's eye color has changed in Good Omens season 2 has sparked a theory (via CBR) that he is no longer a demon. Keen-eyed viewers have noticed that his eyes turn yellow and snake-like when he's vulnerable or engaged in demon activities, while they appear more human with a hint of yellow in the center when he's being benevolent or in the presence of Aziraphale. Neil Gaiman has affirmed this intentional change (via Tumblr), igniting theories about Crowley forsaking his demon status in Good Omens season 3, potentially to be with Aziraphale in Heaven or for another undisclosed motive.

3 Aziraphale Lied To Crowley About The Metatron’s Offer

The heart-wrenching and surprising moment in which Aziraphale chose Heaven over staying with Crowley has sparked a theory suggesting that the angel had no other option but to make this painful decision. In fact, this theory proposes that Aziraphale's choice actually ended up saving Crowley. The theory, which can be found on Tumblr, delves into Aziraphale's history of lying and argues that his actions at the end of Good Omens season 2 were driven by a lie.

According to the author, the mention of the name of Nina's coffee shop, "Give Me Coffee Or Give Me Death," by Metatron serves as a subtle hint of what was to come. This theory suggests that Metatron's words were symbolic of the offer he was about to make to Aziraphale: either accept a high-ranking role in Heaven (symbolized by coffee) or face the erasure of both him and Crowley from the Book of Life (symbolized by death).

Consequently, Aziraphale intentionally deceived Crowley by extending an invitation to join him in Heaven. Deep down, Aziraphale knew that Crowley would never accept this offer, as he understood that if Crowley was aware of his impending danger, he would stop at nothing to save him. After all, Aziraphale had once stated that being rescued by Crowley brought immense joy to his heart.

2 The Metatron Is The Real Villain of Good Omens

1 The Coffee Theory

Being widely believed as the true antagonist of the series, the Metatron theory can serve as a valuable addition to other fan theories surrounding Good Omens season 3. Despite occupying the prestigious roles of God's voice and the highest-ranking angel in Heaven, Good Omens has unambiguously portrayed that not every celestial being in the heavenly realm possesses virtuous qualities or noble intentions. Interpretations of the Metatron's body language in the concluding moments of season 2 have sparked intriguing speculations, suggesting that Aziraphale and Crowley might soon confront and conquer the looming threat posed by this enigmatic figure in the upcoming season 3.

The prevailing theory that has surfaced after the conclusion of Good Omens season 2 is known as "The Coffee Theory" and is intricately linked to the aforementioned theory. Also widely shared on Tumblr, this theory suggests that Metatron tampered with the coffee he purchased for Aziraphale. Several details in the final episode of Good Omens season 2 lend credence to this theory. These include Metatron's inquiry to Nina regarding whether anyone would choose death over coffee, Aziraphale's hesitation to consume the coffee, and Metatron's proposition coming after Aziraphale had taken a sip. Furthermore, another piece of evidence supporting the notion of Metatron being the antagonist is the hardening of his expression when Aziraphale turned to Crowley to gauge the wisdom of accompanying Metatron for a walk, only to soften again when Aziraphale redirected his attention back to him, and finally harden once more while gazing upon Crowley's departure.
