Good Omens Season 1 Had Several Easter Eggs & Connections

For fans who enjoy both Good Omens and Doctor Who, there are already numerous connections between the two beloved shows. David Tennant, who notably portrayed the Tenth Doctor, will make a return for Doctor Who's 60th anniversary celebrations. Additionally, Michael Sheen, who stars in Good Omens, lent his voice to the TARDIS-consuming being known as House in the Doctor Who season 6 episode titled "The Doctor's Wife."

Mark Gatiss, known for his collaboration with Mackinnon on Sherlock, made an appearance in one of the episodes alongside his frequent collaborator Steve Pemberton. Reece Shearsmith, the co-creator of Inside Number 9 with Pemberton, took on the role of William Shakespeare during a pivotal scene involving Aziraphale and Crowley at a Hamlet rehearsal.
