“I know, I know.” That is Michael Sheen’s answer to the question of how much the end of A good omen Season 2 hurt. But the good news is that we know there’s more to come: The Prime Video series ends with season 3, which is scheduled to begin filming in 2025.
When TV Insider recently spoke to Sheen, he couldn’t say much about what’s to come. “It’s still in development, but obviously I’m very excited to be working with David again and I love that character,” he shared. “I’m very excited about it.”
Sheen and David Tennant are fantastic together as the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley, which made the end of season two so painful. The Metatron (Derek Jacobi) offered Aziraphale the vacated position of chief archangel in heaven – and said he could restore Crowley to full angel status. Aziraphale saw it as the two could make a difference and be together as angels. But Crowley instead suggested (not for the first time) that they should go away together, to be an “us”. After a heartbreaking kiss, the two parted ways. Aziraphale rode to heaven with the Metatron (foreshadowing the return of Christ) and Crowley drove off in the Bentley.
“One of the extraordinary things about being part of (A good omen) is the audience, the fans, the fandom. You have to take it very seriously because people are really affected by it,” Sheen added. “And to see how people reacted to the end of Season 2 was extraordinary. So yes, I hope and I’m sure that Season 3 will be a satisfying experience for everyone.”
Season 2 was released on Prime Video in July 2023. In December of the same year, Prime Video announced that A good omen Season 3 was renewed and was set to be the last. The series is based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett. “In Season 3, we’re once again dealing with the end of the world. The plans for Armageddon go awry. Only Crowley and Aziraphale can hope to put things right together. And they’re not talking to each other,” Gaiman said in a statement when the renewal was announced.
So far, only Sheen and Tennant have been confirmed for season 3, so when TV Insider met Jon Hamm, who plays Gabriel, in May 2024, we had to ask if he might return. “I don’t know. I hope so. I hope he’s happy with his life somewhere in the universe, so to speak. I think there might be something going on there, but I don’t want to go too far into it and give anything away,” he said.
