According to Deadline, Good Omens is likely to be picked up by Prime Video and the BBC for a season three. Sources of Deadline stated that the options on the main cast of the series have been picked up.
Douglas Mackinnon (Sherlock, Line of Duty) will reportedly not be returning as co-showrunner, director, and executive producer for season three. In the comments of one of Mackinnon’s Instagram posts, he stated that he was no longer involved in Good Omens.
Good Omens hails from Neil Gaiman (American Gods, The Graveyard Book) and stars Michael Sheen (The Good Fight, Staged) as Aziraphale and David Tennant (Doctor Who, Marvel’s Jessica Jones) as Crowley.
In a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, about season three of Good Omens, Gaiman said, “It’s planned and plotted and if there wasn’t a Writers Strike on I’d be writing it right now,” Deadline reports. The post is attached below.
It’s planned and plotted and if there wasn’t a Writers Strike on I’d be writing it right now. Ways to help make Good Omens 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. https://t.co/5UY4VIXq6b
