Neil Gaiman says: “It’s been thirty-one years since ‘Good Omens’ was published, which means it’s been thirty-two years since Terry Pratchett and I, lying on our beds in a Seattle hotel room at a World Fantasy Convention I got to use bits of the sequel in Good Omens – that’s where our angels came from. Terry isn’t here anymore, but when he was, we talked about that What do we want to do with ‘Good Omens’ and where did the story go next. And now, thanks to BBC Studios and Amazon, I can take it there. I’ve enlisted some amazing collaborators, and John Finmore joins me. Have come on board to carry the torch. People have asked a lot of questions about what happened next (and what happened before) our favorite angels and demons. Here are the answers you’ve been hoping for. We are back in Soho, and through all time and space, solving a mystery that begins with a fairy wandering through Soho with no memory Yes.”
Douglas McKinnon says: “It’s an exciting dream come true for me to take Good Omens to my home country of Scotland to film a second season. And with Michael Sheen and David Tennant returning as Aziraphale and Crowley We really have an angel and a demon.
Rob Wilkins says: “Terry and Neil always knew that Crowley and Aziraphale wouldn’t be content to appear in only one story, and were long planning to extend their adventures. David and Michael’s stellar performances helped. Made it an absolute necessity. Terry would have been happy with how he brought his characters to life, and I am equally happy as the second season is underway.”
Michael Sheen says: “Personally I’m against it, but the world just isn’t going to save itself, is it? If David and I can manage not to be too bad this time it’s going to end as well. There might be a chance.”
David Tennant says: “The return of Good Omens is great news for me personally. As soon as I get the chance to work with Michael again, and I get to say Neil’s wonderful words once again. Perhaps less good for the universe because it almost certainly means there will be some new existential threat to its existence to deal with, but, you know – swings and roundabouts…”
Good Omens launched globally as a limited series on Prime Video in May 2019 and is based on the beloved 1990 novel, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. is.
