Nick Offerman Joins Amazon’s Good Omens As ‘Antichrist’s’ Father

Nick Offerman has joined the cast of Amazon’s Good Omens series adaptation as the (not really) father of the Antichrist. Neil Gaiman posted on Twitter to announce that the Parks and Recreation will play the father of Warlock Dowling, a child who is mistakenly believed to be the Antichrist:

Offerman joins a cast that includes Michael Sheen, David Tennant, Jon Hamm, Mireille Enos, Yusuf Gatewood and Adria Arjona. It is set to premiere in 2019.

Good Omens is based on Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s fantasy novel of the same name. The series takes place in 2018 when the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgment is set to descend upon humanity. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, and tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. However, Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel (Sheen), and Crowley, a fast-living demon (Tennant) — 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 war.
