Amazon Renews Good Omens For Final Season

Good Omens will be back for one more go, with Amazon renewing the supernatural comedy. Variety reports that the series adaptation of the Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett novel has been renewed for a third and final season.

The series debuted in 2019 with the intent to make it a limited series, but its success led to a second season being commissioned. The third season will wrap things up for the show, which Gaiman created based on the novel.

“I’m so happy finally to be able to finish the story Terry and I plotted in 1989 and in 2006,” Gaiman said in a statement. “Terry was determined that if we made ‘Good Omens’ for television, we could take the story all the way to the end. Season One was all about averting Armageddon, dangerous prophecies, and the End of the World. Season Two was sweet and gentle, although it may have ended less joyfully than a certain Angel and Demon might have hoped. Now in Season Three, we will deal once more with the end of the world. The plans for Armageddon are going wrong. Only Crowley and Aziraphale working together can hope to put it right. And they aren’t talking.”

The series stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant as Aziraphale and Crowley, an angel and demon who became friends over millenia on Earth and joined up to thwaart the planned Apocalypse in season one. Season two premiered in July and was described as follows:

Having been on Earth since The Beginning, and with the Apocalypse thwarted, the duo are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho. That is, until the archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) turns up unexpectedly at the door of Aziraphale’s bookshop with no memory of who he is or how he got there. While Crowley is leery as to why the archangel has come to the bookshop, Aziraphale is keen to solve the mystery behind Gabriel’s condition. However, hiding the archangel from both Heaven and Hell quickly disrupts their lives in unforeseen ways. To solve this mystery and thwart Heaven and Hell in the process, the duo will need more than a miracle; they’ll need to once again rely on each other.
