Amazon Prime Video’s Good Omens is a supernatural comedy about an angel and a demon working together to thwart the forces that would destroy the world. David Tennant and Michael Sheen star in the roles of the unworldly couple as the demon Crowley and the angel Aziraphale. The show started in 2019 and has completed 2 wonderful seasons filled with witty humor, paranormal encounters, and heartfelt dialogues. The series was greenlit for a third season in 2023; however, assault allegations against Neil Gaiman, writer of the show, have changed the way season 3 will premiere.
Neil Gaiman Assault Allegations
Neil Gaiman has been the writer for the Good Omens series since it was approved to be produced on Amazon Prime streaming. The world was taken by surprise in 2024 when 4 women who claimed to have been sexually abused by Gaiman appeared on the Tortoise Media podcasts. Another alleged victim told her story on another podcast called Am I Broken: Survivor Stories. Gaiman has denied these allegations and remarked that the relationships with all those women were consensual. With the scandal being investigated, the show was put on hold in September until Amazon announced it resumed production in October.
Good Omens Season 3
During the production pause, Gaiman had stepped down from the show altogether. The script had already been written, and another writer replaced him for filming. Good Omens’ pre-production purgatory ended, and fans were delighted that the third season was back on track; however, it came at a cost. The third season was initially supposed to have multiple episodes, but with the turn of events, it was cut down to a 90-minute finale.
With all the major changes, what will happen in season 3? It was always planned to be the final season, and production is still rumored to have started at the beginning of 2025. Actors David Tennant and Michael Sheen will be returning to their roles as Crowley and Aziraphale, and potentially other actors from the previous season will reappear.
As for the storyline, it will have Crowley and Aziraphale, who went their separate ways at the end of Good Omens season 2, reunite to stop the destruction of the world. Fans are hoping to see the angel and demon rekindle their relationship and pursue their love for one another after the heartbreaking cliffhanger. The real question is how the shortened run time will condense the plot and influence the story. No further information about the storyline is available at the time.
The most recent update came in February 2025 with short clips of the actors filming in Edinburgh, yet no release window has been posted. All we can hope for now is that filming can be completed, editing can due the story justice, and the characters and fans can get the ending they deserve.
