By Amazon’s Prime Video has officially announced that their adaptation of Neil Gaiman and the late Sir Terry Pratchett’s “Good Omens” will be getting a third and final season.
The second season was released in August with Amazon saying it was the streamer’s top comedy on the platform worldwide following its debut. At that time, Gaiman stated that a third season had already been “planned and plotted” and he would’ve been writing it then if it weren’t for the strikes.
Options on series leads Michael Sheen and David Tennant were picked up back in October, making this announcement more a formality. Gaiman has previously indicated the season will draw from his and Pratchett’s unfinished sequel to their book.
In a statement to the press, Gaiman says the new season is being designed as a definitive end:
“I’m so happy finally to be able to finish the story Terry and I plotted in 1989 and in 2006. 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.”
Gaiman will continue as sole showrunner after the departure of Douglas Mackinnon, who also served as a director and executive producer on the first two seasons. Filming begins shortly in Scotland.
