The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, soon to be an original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant.
?Season 2 of Good Omens coming soon!
“ Good Omens . . . is something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. Lots of literary inventiveness in the plotting and chunks of very good writing and characterization. It’s a wow. It would make one hell of a movie. Or a heavenly one. Take your pick.” — Washington Post
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter , Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

Chapter One
Current theories on the creation of the Universe state that, if it was created at all and didn't just start, as it were, unoffi cially, it came into being between ten and twenty thousand million years ago. By the same token the earth itself is generally supposed to be about four and a half thousand million years old.
These dates are incorrect.
Medieval Jewish scholars put the date of the Creation at 3760 B.C. Greek Orthodox theologians put Creation as far back as 5508 B.C.
These suggestions are also incorrect.
Archbishop James Usher (1580?1656) published Annales Veteris et Novi Testamenti in 1654, which suggested that the Heaven and the Earth were created in 4004 B.C. One of his aides took the calculation further, and was able to announce triumphantly that the Earth was created on Sunday the 21st of October, 4004 B.C. , at exactly 9:00 A.M. , because God liked to get work done early in the morning while he was feeling fresh.
This too was incorrect. By almost a quarter of an hour.
The whole business with the fossilized dinosaur skeletons was a joke the paleontologists haven't seen yet.
This proves two things:
Firstly, that God moves in extremely mysterious, not to say, circuitous ways. God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players,* to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infi nite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time .
Secondly, the Earth's a Libra.
The astrological prediction for Libra in the "Your Stars Today"
column of the Tadfi eld Advertiser , on the day this history begins, read as follows:
Libra. September 24?October 23.
You may be feeling run down and always in the same old daily round. Home and family matters are highlighted and are hanging fi re. Avoid unnecessary risks. A friend is important to you. Shelve major decisions until the way ahead seems clear. You may be vulnerable to a stomach upset today, so avoid salads. Help could come from an unexpected quarter.
This was perfectly correct on every count except for the bit about the salads.
It wasn't a dark and stormy night.
It should have been, but that's the weather for you. For every mad scientist who's had a convenient thunderstorm just on the night his Great Work is fi nished and lying on the slab, there have been dozens who've sat around aimlessly under the peaceful stars while Igor clocks up the overtime.
But don't let the fog (with rain later, temperatures dropping to around forty-fi ve degrees) give anyone a false sense of security. Just because it's a mild night doesn't mean that dark forces aren't abroad. They're abroad all the time. They're everywhere .
They always are. That's the whole point.
Two of them lurked in the ruined graveyard. Two shadowy figures, one hunched and squat, the other lean and menacing, both of them Olympic-grade lurkers. If Bruce Springsteen had ever recorded "Born to Lurk," these two would have been on the album cover. They had been lurking in the fog for an hour now, but they had been pacing themselves and could lurk for the rest of the night if necessary, with still enough sullen menace left for a final burst of lurking around dawn.
Finally, after another twenty minutes, one of them said: "Bugger this for a lark. He should of been here hours ago."
The speaker's name was Hastur. He was a Duke of Hell.
Many Phenomena—wars, plagues, sudden audits—have been advanced as evidence for the hidden hand of Satan in the affairs of Man, but whenever students of demonology get together the M25 London orbital motorway is generally agreed to be among the top contenders for Exhibit A.
Where they go wrong, of course, is in assuming that the wretched road is evil simply because of the incredible carnage and frustration it engenders every day.
In fact, very few people on the face of the planet know that the very shape of the M25 forms the sigil odegra in the language of the Black Priesthood of Ancient Mu, and means "Hail the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds." The thousands of motorists who daily fume their way around its serpentine lengths have the same effect as water on a prayer wheel, grinding out an endless fog of low-grade evil to pollute the metaphysical atmosphere for scores of miles around.
It was one of Crowley's better achievements. It had taken years to achieve, and had involved three computer hacks, two break-ins, one minor bribery and, on one wet night when all else had failed, two hours in a squelchy fi eld shifting the marker pegs a few but occultly incredibly signifi cant meters. When Crowley had watched the fi rst thirty-mile-long tailback he'd experienced the lovely warm feeling of a bad job well done.
It had earned him a commendation.
Crowley was currently doing 110 mph somewhere east of Slough. Nothing about him looked particularly demonic, at least by classical standards. No horns, no wings. Admittedly he was listening to a Best of Queen tape, but no conclusions should be drawn from this because all tapes left in a car for more than about a fortnight metamorphose into Best of Queen albums. No particularly demonic thoughts were going through his head. In fact, he was currently wondering vaguely who Moey and Chandon were.
Crowley had dark hair and good cheekbones and he was wearing snakeskin shoes, or at least presumably he was wearing shoes, and he could do really weird things with his tongue. And, whenever he forgot himself, he had a tendency to hiss.
He also didn't blink much.
The car he was driving was a 1926 black Bentley, one owner from new, and that owner had been Crowley. He'd looked after it.

Neil gaiman.
Neil Gaiman is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty books, including Norse Mythology, Neverwhere, and The Graveyard Book. Among his numerous literary awards are the Newbery and Carnegie medals, and the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Will Eisner awards. He is a Professor in the Arts at Bard College.
Terry Pratchett sold his first story when he was fifteen, which earned him enough money to buy a second-hand typewriter. His first novel, a humorous fantasy entitled The Carpet People, appeared in 1971 from the publisher Colin Smythe. Terry worked for many years as a journalist and press officer, writing in his spare time and publishing a number of novels, including his first Discworld novel, The Color of Magic, in 1983. In 1987 he turned to writing full time, and has not looked back since. To date there are a total of 36 books in the Discworld series, of which four (so far) are written for children. The first of these children's books, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, won the Carnegie Medal. A non-Discworld book, Good Omens, his 1990 collaboration with Neil Gaiman, has been a longtime bestseller, and was reissued in hardcover by William Morrow in early 2006 (it is also available as a mass market paperback (Harper Torch, 2006) and trade paperback (Harper Paperbacks, 2006). Terry's latest book, Nation, a non-Discworld standalone YA novel was published in October of 2008 and was an instant New York Times and London Times bestseller. Regarded as one of the most significant contemporary English-language satirists, Pratchett has won numerous literary awards, was named an Officer of the British Empire “for services to literature” in 1998, and has received four honorary doctorates from the Universities of Warwick, Portsmouth, Bath, and Bristol. His acclaimed novels have sold more than 55 million copies (give or take a few million) and have been translated into 36 languages. Terry Pratchett lived in England with his family, and spent too much time at his word processor. Some of Terry's accolades include: The Carnegie Medal, Locus Awards, the Mythopoetic Award, ALA Notable Books for Children, ALA Best Books for Young Adults, Book Sense 76 Pick, Prometheus Award and the British Fantasy Award.

Good Omens is preparing for its third and final season, and there’s a lot of anticipation around it thanks to season 2’s cliffhanger ending, but Michael Sheen’s tease is giving me hope for Crowley and Aziraphale’s future… but it’s also worrying. Amazon Prime Video has built its own catalog of TV shows, some more popular than others, and one of my favorites is Good Omens . Based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Good Omens premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2019 with great success.
Season 1 of Good Omens was based on the novel and followed angel Aziraphale (Sheen) and demon Crowley (David Tennant) as they tried to stop the Antichrist from triggering the apocalypse. Four years later, Good Omens returned with its second season and an original story in which Aziraphale and Crowley teamed up again to discover what happened to Archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm), whose memory had been erased. Good Omens season 2 ended on a heartbreaking cliffhanger, and a recent tease for season 3 gives me hope for a happy ending, but it’s also worrying me.
Good Omens' eternity-spanning story is told out of order - and it gets quite confusing. Here's the full timeline in chronological order.
Good omens season 2 ended on a heartbreaking cliffhanger.
After a couple of challenges, Aziraphale and Crowley found out what happened to Archangel Gabriel and learned he and Hell’s Beelzebub (Shelley Conn) had fallen in love. Gabriel and Beelzebub were sent to Alpha Centauri so they could carry on with their lives together without problems, but that left a spot open in Heaven and one in Hell. At the end of Good Omens season 2, the Metatron (Derek Jacobi) arrived at Aziraphale’s bookshop to offer him the role of supreme archangel of Heaven. This position allowed him to bring Crowley with him and make him an angel again, but Crowley wanted something different.
A recent tease from Michael Sheen is giving me hope that Good Omens will bring Aziraphale and Crowley back together in the final season.
Crowley struggled to come clean about his feelings for Aziraphale to the confused angel and ended up kissing him and telling him he wanted to stay with him on Earth. However, Aziraphale simply told him he forgave him and returned to Heaven with the Metatron while Crowley simply drove away. The future of Aziraphale and Crowley, both together and separately, is a mystery, but a recent tease from Michael Sheen is giving me hope that Good Omens will bring them back together in the final season.
Sheen and company being aware of the audience’s reaction and passion for the show gives me hope that they know what viewers want.
Speaking to TV Insider , Sheen shared his excitement about working with Tennant again and returning to Good Omens . Sheen mentioned that the fandom is one of the “extraordinary” things about being part of Good Omens, and that seeing their reaction to season 2’s ending was also extraordinary. Sheen added that he’s sure season 3 will be a satisfying experience for everyone . Sheen and company being aware of the audience’s reaction and passion for the show gives me hope that they know what viewers want and that the “satisfying experience” will lead to a well-deserved happy ending for Crowley and Aziraphale.
Crowley & aziraphale’s romance is now key to good omens.
Tennant teased more kisses between Aziraphale and Crowley in Good Omens season 3 and more romance.
While story details for Good Omens season 3 are still a secret, David Tennant has teased more romance in the upcoming final season, and I’m deeply grateful for that. Speaking with Michelle Visage on the BAFTA TV Awards red carpet in May 2024 (via CBR ), Tennant teased more kisses between Aziraphale and Crowley in Good Omens season 3 and more romance. In that same talk, Tennant said season 3 will start shooting in January, so it’s only a matter of waiting for more details about it to be revealed.
There will surely be more challenges for them before they can reunite and reconcile.
However, given how season 2 ended, all those kisses and romance might not happen right away . Aziraphale and Crowley are not even in the same realm anymore, with the former in Heaven and the latter on Earth (for now, at least), and there will surely be more challenges for them before they can reunite and reconcile. Still, it’s relieving to know that Good Omens season 3 won’t forget about the love between its main characters and that they’re aiming for a satisfying ending, which I’m hoping means a “happy ending”.
Good omens season 3 might not make things easy for crowley & aziraphale.
I do believe Crowley and Aziraphale can get their happy ending in Good Omens season 3, but not without many obstacles and more pain.
As hopeful as Sheen’s words make me about a happy ending in Good Omens season 3, I feel there will be a lot more suffering before Aziraphale and Crowley can be together . The only thing that’s known about the plot of Good Omens season 3 is that it’s going back to the show’s roots and will feature another apocalypse, as teased by Gaiman himself . In addition to that, the ending of Good Omens season 2 teased the Second Coming, as the Metatron revealed it’s the next step in Heaven’s plans, and Aziraphale was visibly worried when he heard that.
I do believe Crowley and Aziraphale can get their happy ending in Good Omens season 3, but not without many obstacles and more pain (for both the audience and Aziraphale and Crowley) in the process. Aziraphale and Crowley might have to make some sacrifices to be together , perhaps giving up their immortality to live the most normal lives they ever had. A lot can happen in Good Omens season 3, but hopefully, everything will lead to Aziraphale and Crowley’s happy ending together.

Based on the bestselling novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, Good Omens follows an angel and demon as they attempt to defy the forces of Heaven and Hell in order to avert the apocalypse. With Pratchett and Gaiman's funny and irreverent style shining through, Good Omens stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant as Aziraphale and Crowley, with a larger cast that includes John Hamm, Francis McDormand, and Michael McKean.
The show's third season is still in development, but more updates should be coming soon..
After two successful seasons, the cast and crew of Good Omens is getting ready for one final go-round. The show’s battle-turned-love affair between angel and demon Aziraphale, and Crowley will come to an end with season 3, which Prime Video announced when it offered the renewal.
Now, Michael Sheen, one of the show’s two stars, has offered an update on the forthcoming ending and when we might get a chance to see it.
“It’s still in development, but obviously I’m very excited to work with David [Tennant] again, and I love that character. I’m very excited about it,” Sheen said in an interview with TV Insider , explaining that they didn’t have a shooting schedule yet.
“One of the extraordinary things about being a part of [Good Omens] is the audience, the fans, the fandom of it,” he added. “You have to take it very seriously because people get really affected by it. And seeing how people reacted to the end of Season 2 was extraordinary. So yeah, I hope, and I’m sure, that Season 3 will be a satisfying experience for everyone.”
While love will certainly be on the brain for many of the show’s fans headed into this final season, we also know that Aziraphale and Crowley have to work together to avert armageddon, so they can’t spend all their time kissing. Filming for the show’s third season is set to begin sometime in early 2025, which means we could see the season toward the end of the year or early in 2026. Until then, fans will just have to rewatch the episodes we have.
There are a number of different places you can trace our current moment of utter superhero cultural dominance back to. It could be 2002's Spider-Man, or 2000's X-Men, or 2008's Iron Man. If you go even further back, though, you could argue that the trend really started with 1989's Batman, which was directed by Tim Burton and starred Michael Keaton.
Burton directed that movie to tremendous success, and he also directed its first sequel, Batman Returns. Since leaving that franchise behind, though, Burton has not gone back to the superhero well, and thanks to a new interview with Variety, we now know why.

Sir Terence David John Pratchett was an English author, humorist, and satirist, best known for the Discworld series of 41 comic fantasy novels published between 1983-2015, and for the apocalyptic comedy novel Good Omens (1990), which he co-wrote with Neil Gaiman. Pratchett's first novel, The Carpet People, was published in 1971.

Book Review. Good Omens is a comedic, apocalyptic, satirical novel that is much loved by many. The concept is high-brow, but the comedy in it is decidedly low-brow. It traverses the same territory as John Milton's Paradise Lost (the fall of man and the battle between Good and Evil) and the main story arc is the impending Armageddon..
