Neil Gaiman's GOOD OMENS Season 2 Gets a Poster and a Premiere Date
Prime Video has released a poster for Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens Season 2! Yep, the second season is finally coming, and it is set to premiere on July 28th. It seems like it’s been forever since the first season came to an end. The first season was originally planned as a limited series because there was only one book to adapt. But, when the series became a big hit, Prime Video greenlit a second season… with the permission of Gaiman.
This series follows the story of Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), “an angel, and Crowley (David Tennant), a demon, who have formed an unlikely friendship spanning 6,000 years and have grown fond of life on earth. However, the end of time grows near with the approaching Armageddon and they must now join forces to find a way to save the world.”
The new six-episode season will “explore storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the uncanny friendship between Aziraphale, a fussy angel and rare book dealer, and the fast-living demon Crowley. Having been on Earth since The Beginning, and with the Apocalypse thwarted, Aziraphale and Crowley are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho when an unexpected messenger presents a surprising mystery.”
In the story, “Aziraphale and Crowley are getting back to normal, living in London among mortals, when a new angel—Muriel—shows up unexpectedly at their doorstep. The angel (and new angel) and demon will have to solve a mystery before they can get back to their domestic lives together.”
The series also stars Derek Jacobi (Gladiator) reprising his role of Metatron, and joining him is Dame Siân Phillips (Dune). Also returning this season are Mark Gatiss (Sherlock), Steve Pemberton (Killing Eve), and Reece Shearsmith (Inside No. 9) in the roles of Mr. Harmony, Mr. Glozier, and William Shakespeare.
Niamh Walsh (The English Game) also returns, and joining the series in new roles are Tim Downie (Outlander), Pete Firman (The Magicians), Andi Osho (I May Destroy You), and Alex Norton (Pirates of the Caribbean).
Other cast members include Jon Hamm, Miranda Richardson, Maggie Service, Nina Sosanya, Doon Mackichan, Gloria Obianyo, Liz Carr, Quelin Sepulveda, and Shelley Conn.
Gaiman will continue as executive producer and co-showrunner along with executive producer Douglas Mackinnon, who has returned to direct all six episodes.
