Amazon Renews 'Good Omens' for Third and Final Season

Amazon has today renewed its original drama series Good Omens for a third and final season. Production on the final episodes will begin in Scotland early next year.






The forthcoming season will bring to life a serendipitous conversation from almost 35 years ago, between Neil Gaiman and the late Sir Terry Pratchett, where they mapped out "what happens next" to the wonderful characters in the world of their internationally best-selling novel.

The drama stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant.

Gaiman developed the drama and returns as showrunner. He executive produces with Rob Wilkins and Josh Cole. Amazon MGM Studios, BBC Studios, the Black Corporation and Narrativia produce.

"I'm so happy finally to be able to finish the story Terry and I plotted in 1989 and in 2006," said Gaiman. "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."

"Good Omens has checked every box for a clever, witty, and funny comedy that not only made it a success on Prime Video, but also made 'goodness' watchable and fun thanks to Neil and Terry's immense creativity," added Vernon Sanders, Head of Television, Amazon MGM Studios. "The final season is sure to be packed with the same dynamic energy that our global customers have come to enjoy."
