After the success of Good Omens Season 2 on Amazon Prime Video, fans are wondering if there is a possibility of a third season. The show explores the dynamic between a demon and an angel as they work together to prevent the end of days also known as Armageddon, on Earth. Good Omens made its debut on May 31, 2019. Season 2 premiered on July 28, 2023. Considering that writer Neil Gaiman is a member of the WGA, it makes sense why the ongoing Hollywood strikes impacted the potential Season 3, like other projects. While there is no official announcement regarding Season 3 from Amazon Prime Video, we are likely to get a confirmation after the strike ends.
Possibility of Good Omens Season 3
In July 2023, creator Neil Gaiman shared an update on Twitter (presently known as X) regarding Season 3. He wrote, “It’s planned and plotted and if there wasn’t a Writers Strike on, I’d be writing it right now.” Then he talked about ways in which fans could help in releasing Good Omens Season 3. “Ways to help make ‘Good Omean’ Season 3 happen are A) watch Season 2, B) get people who know nothing of Good Omens to start watching S1, and C) encourage the studios to negotiate with WGA.”
In July 2023, a fan asked Gaiman on Tumblr if he would choose another medium if Season 3 didn’t receive a green signal. He responded saying, “Absolutely. I wouldn’t want to leave it mid-story.”
In a separate Tumblr thread, Gaiman wrote, “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 saying, “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).”

Possible Plot of Good Omens Season 3
In June 2023, Good Omens showrunner Neil Gaiman revealed in a Tumblr comment that Season 3 is based on the unwritten sequel to the novel, clarifying that Season 2 was planned to set up the events of Season 3: “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 where the second novel would have started. If ever there’s a third TV series that will be the story of the second novel.”
Season 2 concluded with Aziraphale telling Crowley that he forgives him before walking their separate ways. In the third season, they might explore the inevitable reunion of the two. For this to happen, Aziraphale needs to find a new ruler for Hell and work on his duties in Heaven. Aziraphale will possibly try to convince Gabriel and Beelzebub to return to their position as the leader of Heaven and Hell.
