See the Good Omens season 2 image that Gaiman shared, complete with our favorite demon-angel duo cuddling beneath the stars, below.

What Could Season 2 Be About?

Per THR, Good Omens season 2 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 now thwarted, Aziraphale and Crowley are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho when an unexpected messenger presents a surprising mystery.”

I had thought that the second season would go back in time, to cover the thousands of years that Aziraphale and Crowley intervened in human affairs on the Earth, slowly becoming friends along the way. But I guess that was covered in the many montages of the first season, as well as the delightful opening credits. To be honest, I would be more on board for that show, since Tennant and Sheen were the saving grace of the first season and the best reason to watch. (And who wouldn’t want to watch six episodes of Tennant and Sheen bickering through history?)

But Gaiman seems to have plenty of ideas to continue their story past the averted Apocalypse, with the help of Rob Wilkins, John Finnemore, and BBC Studios Productions’ head of comedy Josh Cole, who are also set to executive produce, with Finnemore serving as co-writer alongside Gaiman.

“I have enlisted some wonderful collaborators, and John Finnemore has come on board to carry the torch with me,” added Gaiman. “There are so many questions people have asked about what happened next (and also, what happened before) to our favorite Angel and Demon. Here are the answers you’ve been hoping for. We are back in Soho, and all through time and space, solving a mystery, which starts with an angel wandering through Soho, with no memory.”
