Good Omens season 3 season is being developed for Amazon Prime Video by Neil Gaiman and will continue Aziraphale and Crowley’s story with ideas for a sequel to the best-selling original novel devised with legendary co-author, the late Terry Pratchett. Good Omens is an Amazon Prime Video series based on the novel by Gaiman and Pratchett and follows the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and demon Crowley (David Tennant) who’ve developed a unique relationship over the centuries they’ve spent on Earth, one that sees them put their differences aside to set out to stop the end of the world.
The first season of Good Omens was based on the novel, and it was speculated that season 2 could be based on a sequel that Gaiman and Pratchett had planned out before the latter’s death. However, Gaiman has since said that the planned sequel was not the second season, and it instead would be used for Good Omens season 3. This has only added to the already intense speculation about the show’s return to Amazon Prime Video after the second season cliffhanger, and there’s already much to discuss when it comes to Good Omens season 3.
The Latest Good Omens Season 3 News
The most recent Good Omens season 3 news came in September 2023 shortly after the conclusion of the WGA writer’s strike. Within days of the strike ending on Setpember 26, Neil Gaiman had given viewers an update on when to expect the next season of Good Omens. Gaiman had been clear throughout 2023 that he wouldn’t be working on the show until the WGA and AMPTP had reached an agreement. Clearly, the co-author of the original novel understood just how important the show is to fans, as he was quick to clarify what’s happening with Good Omens season 3 now the writer’s strike is over.
While his answers during the interview with The Wrap were brief, Gaiman’s status update for Good Omens next season was clear. When asked if it had been renewed, he replied “No, but I’ve been hired to write one.” He also confirmed with a simple “Yes.” that he’ll be starting work on the script for Good Omens season 3 now that the strikes are over. Neil Gaiman had previously confirmed he has Good Omens season 3 mapped out, so the next stage of the process is to turn the plotted story into a cohesive show.
Good Omens Season 3 Is Not Confirmed
Amazon Prime Video has yet to renew Good Omens for season 3. While the next season of Good Omens still isn’t confirmed, it seems likely that Amazon will greenlight it soon. Neil Gaiman was clear that work on the show wouldn’t resume until after the WGA strikes were resolved. Now that they are it’s possible that Neil Gaiman and Amazon will enter talks surrounding season 3 again soon, making an official renewal probable.
Good Omens Season 3 Release Date Prediction
There is currently no set release date for Good Omens season 3. Neil Gaiman hasn’t put the gears fully in motion yet for the next chapter of Crowley and Aziraphale’s story, making a 2024 release window for the next season of Good Omens unlikely. It’s possible that the show will return to Amazon Prime Video in 2025, but this is dependent on it being renewed. Like prior seasons, Good Omens season 3 will be an Amazon Prime Video exclusive when it arrives.
Good Omens Season 3 Cast
The Good Omens season 3 cast will likely be comprised of mostly returning faces. Michael Sheen (Underworld, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn) as the angel Aziraphale and David Tennant (Doctor Who, Jessica Jones) as the demon Crowley will of course return. There are other angels, demons, and humans that could possibly be back in Good Omens season 3, and even some that might show up in different roles.
Good Omens season 2 brought back Jon Hamm (Mad Men, The Morning Show) as Gabriel and made him a massive part of the story, as it is his disappearance threatened a war between Heaven and Hell. Also appearing in season 2, and a possibility for the Good Omens season 3 cast are:
- Doon Mackichan (Toast of London, Smack the Pony) as Michael
- Gloria Obianyo (Dune, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part One) as Uriel
- Miranda Richardson (Blackadder, Sleepy Hollow) as Shax
- Liz Carr (The Witcher, Silent Witness) as Saraqael
- Quelin Sepulveda (Havoc, The Man Who Fell To Earth) as Murie
- Shelley Conn (Mistresses, Love Sarah) as Beelzebub
Maggie Service (Red Dwarf) and Nina Sosanya (Screw) returned for season 2 but as entirely different characters. Adria Arjona (Morbius), Jack Whitehall (Bad Education), Michael McKean (Better Call Saul), and Sam Taylor Buck (The Death & Life of John F. Donovan) did not return for the cast in season 2. Still, Gaiman made an interesting comment about past actors. “With anybody that I wanted to bring back, but didn’t have room for right now, I did not have to bring them back as themselves,” Gaiman said (via SFX), meaning anyone could return for the Good Omens season 3 cast, even in a new role.
Good Omens Season 3 Story Details
The Good Omens season 3 story was set up during the last final minutes of the second season. It was a moment that turned the entire series on its head and morphed Good Omens from mostly lighthearted fun to a drama that broke viewers’ hearts. Most of the second season saw Crowley and Aziraphale helping Gabriel, who it turned out came to Earth to find Beelzebub, someone he secretly loved. However, this story really showed what Good Omens is really about. This is a show about the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley finally admitting their love for each other.
What wasn’t expected was that Crowley would be the only one to realize this. The Good Omens season 2 ending saw Crowley finally realize he was in love with Aziraphale — something that will be of huge importance to the season 3 plot. He went to reveal his love and ask the angel to leave with him, putting the mess of Heaven and Hell behind them. However, Aziraphale had already accepted a new job back in Heaven, and he could get Crowley his status as an angel back.
This was not what Crowley wanted to hear. For centuries, the angel and demon had fallen in love as best friends because of who they really were, and here was Aziraphale deciding for both of them that he could change Crowley. The Good Omens season 3 story will likely be a love story between Crowley and Aziraphale, and focus on the duo realizing they are not complete without each other. What good is being in Heaven if Crowley is still on Earth? That final kiss and their separation, as well as a mention of ‘the Second Coming’ sets up the sequel Gaiman teased for Good Omens season 3.
