Though Good Omens had a successful Season 2 on Amazon Prime Video, fans are still wondering if a Season 3 will ever come. The show explores the dynamic between an angel and a demon as they try to prevent the end of days aka Armageddon on Earth together. The series made its debut on Prime Video on May 31, 2019. In June 2021, it was renewed for Season 2 and it later premiered on July 28, 2023.
Possible Plot and Cast of Good Omens Season 3
In June 2023, Neil Gaiman shared on Tumblr that Season 3 is based on the unwritten sequel to the novel. “Terry [Pratchett] and I plotted a sequel to ‘Good Omens.’ Many ideas from the conversations we had about the sequel — not plot stuff, but character stuff and place stuff — made their way into the first TV series. The second season isn’t the sequel. It’s something I plotted with the brilliant John Finnemore that allows us to get gracefully from the end of book one to the place that the second novel would have started. If ever there’s a third TV series that will be the story of the second novel.”
At the end of Good Omens Season 2, Metatron says that “The Second Coming” is the next phase of the plan. If that’s the case, then Jesus Christ could enter as a new character and probably will be the focus of Season 3. It also appears that Season 3 will explore the reunion between Aziraphale and Crowley. Aziraphale will try to find Gabriel and Beelzebub first to persuade them to get back to their old posts in Heaven and Hell.
Here’s a list of the expected cast members of Season 3:
- David Tennant – Crowley
- Michael Sheen – Aziraphale
- Jon Hamm – Gabriel
- Doon Mackichan – Archangel Michael
- Miranda Richardson
- Maggie Service
- Shelley Conn
- Derek Jacobi – Metatron
- Nina Sosanya
- Abigail Lawrie – Elspeth
- Liz Carr – Saraqael
- Elizabeth Berrington – Dagon
- Paul Adeyefa – Eric
- Quelin Sepulveda – Muriel
- Gloria Obianyo – Uriel
Will Season 3 Ever Release?
The Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild impacted the plans of potential Season 3, considering Neil Gaiman is a member of the WGA. Amazon Prime Video has yet to renew the show for a Season 3, we will likely have an announcement once the strikes end.
In July 2023, Neil Gaiman said, “If it wasn’t for strikes I’d have most of it written by now. As it is, a first draft of Episode 1 and the final fifteen pages of Episode 6 (in case I get hit by a bus) are written, and the rest of it has to wait until the strike is done and we can pick up our pens. When the strike was called I took the post-it notes with the Season 3 episode breakdowns off the walls and put them sadly away.” He continued, “If we shot it in 2024, it would probably be released in early ’26. (We started shooting S2 in October 2021. It’s about a year in post-production from wrap to release).”
The first two seasons of Good Omens are available to stream on Prime Video.
