Fans were thrilled with the highly anticipated second season of Good Omens, and now they eagerly await any news regarding a potential renewal and release of Season 3. The original Amazon series, which originally premiered in May 2019, successfully captured audiences with its charming fantasy narrative. Returning to our screens in 2023, the first season closely followed the beloved novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, centering around the angel Aziraphale (portrayed by Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (played by David Tennant).
As mentioned in our Season 2 review, Gaiman and Pratchett have consistently maintained a casual tone, seamlessly navigating profound biblical themes like the Book of Job. This distinctive atmosphere is what truly sets Good Omens apart from other shows, making it shine.
Given its success, it begs the question: will there be a third season? Below, we provide an overview of everything currently known about Good Omens Season 3.
Will there be a Good Omens Season 3?
While Season 3 is yet to be confirmed, it is likely, as the show’s creatives want Good Omens to continue.
Speaking to SFX, Neil Gaiman, the creator, explained that Season 2 served as a bridge between the first and potential third seasons. He mentioned that there is a story waiting to be explored in Season 3 and it wouldn't be suitable to directly transition from Season 1 to that.
Additionally, Maggie Service, one of the actors, hinted to the Radio Times that there is more to come in the future. She expressed admiration for the way the ending was written, highlighting its realistic and fantastical elements, and raised the question of what will happen next.
Sources are also reporting that a renewed Season 3 would likely be the show’s final season.
We will update this section when we know more.
Is there a Good Omens Season 3 release?
As of writing, Good Omens Season 3 hasn’t been confirmed, so there is no release date. However, if it were confirmed, we can estimate when it would premiere.
Season 1 was released in 2019, followed by Season 2 in 2023, suggesting that Season 3 would likely be released no later than 2027. This lengthy wait may disappoint some fans, but it's worth noting that the global restrictions in 2020 and the recent WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes could further delay the production process for Season 3. As a result, the exact release date for the third season remains uncertain, but it is expected to fall within a four-year timeframe.
The show will also likely continue to be released with Amazon Prime Video.

Good Omens Season 3 plot: What would happen in Season 3?
Good Omens Season 3 would likely continue the relationship of Crowley and Aziraphale, and follow on the plot set up by Season 2, which we won’t spoil here just yet.
Season 1 drew inspiration from a book released in 1990, while Season 2 was based on an unpublished sequel outline by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. The creators have mentioned that a significant portion of the outline will be explored in Season 3, providing us with ample material to anticipate.
