‘Good Omens’ Season 2 – Heavenly Mischief and Infernal Antics Return Next Month
The feel-good and clever series about an angel and a devil saving the world is coming back in Good Omens Season 2.
The award-winning first season was originally created as a stand-alone miniseries, but plans changed. We’re getting more Aziraphale and Crowley, plus a lot more heaven and a lot more hell.
If you’re wondering where the backbone of the new season will come from, a sequel was discussed by Gaiman and Pratchett late at night in a Seattle hotel room during the World Fantasy Convention in 1989–some of those ideas were used to fill out the first season.
Terry was wide awake. Jet lag had taken its toll. And I was wide awake too. So we lay in our respective beds and having nothing else to do, we plotted the sequel to Good Omens. It was a good one, too. We fully intended to write it, whenever we next had three or four months free. Only I went to live in America and Terry stayed in the UK, and after Good Omens was published Sandman became SANDMAN and Discworld became DISCWORLD and there wasn’t ever a good time. But we never forgot it.
Terry was clear on what he wanted from Good Omens on the telly. He wanted the story told, and if that worked, he wanted the rest of the story told.

Good Omens Season 2
Michael Sheen’s angel Aziraphale and David Tennant’s demon Crowley are both returning. As is Jon Hamm as Gabriel, Miranda Richardson as Shax, and Nina Sosanya as Sister Mary Loquacious. Neil Gaiman and Douglas Mackinnon are once again showrunners.
The six-episode series will begin in Aziraphale’s bookshop in London. An unexpected messenger arrives. An angel that has no memory is wandering through Soho, which leads Aziraphale and Crowley on a journey through time and space. They have to figure out who the angel is and why they ended up in London, of all places.
Amazon has given fans a sneak peek at the opening titles – there are a ton of easter eggs in there.
‘Good Omens’ Season 2arrives on Prime Video on July 28th.
