Everything We Know About Good Omens Season 2 So Far

When “Good Omens” — a humorous book about an angel and a demon who band together to stop the apocalypse — was adapted for television, most assumed it would be a one-and-done limited series. Only one book was published, after all, and the ending was a conclusive one.
The series received critical acclaim, however, and there’s now going to be a season 2. Here’s what we know so far about season 2 of “Good Omens.”

What We Think Good Omens Season 2 Will Be About
“Terry was clear on what he wanted from ‘Good Omens’ on the telly,” Gaiman wrote on his website when season 2 was announced. “He wanted the story told, and if that worked, he wanted the rest of the story told.”
Gaiman went on to explain how season 2 came to pass:
While we don’t know the details of what season 2 will be, Gaiman did tease what we’ll see:
While Gaiman’s description is vague, it appears that there will be a mystery afoot in the second season.
As “Good Omens” continues, we will be back in Soho, and all through time and space, solving a mystery which starts with one of the angels wandering through a Soho street market with no memory of who they might be, on their way to Aziraphale’s bookshop.
(Although our story actually begins about five minutes before anyone had got around to saying ‘“Let there be Light.”)
What We Know About Good Omens Season 2 Writers and Directors
Gaiman brought on writer/actor John Finnemore to season 2 of “Good Omens” to help pen the scripts. “I’d been a fan of John Finnemore’s for years, and had had the joy of working with him on a radio show called ‘With Great Pleasure,’” Gaiman wrote on his website. “I asked John if he’d be willing to work with me on writing the next round of ‘Good Omens,’ and was overjoyed when he said yes.”
Gaiman also teases other “surprise guest collaborators” for season 2, though who those collaborators are remains unknown.
What We Know About the Good Omens Season 2 Cast
The duo at the heart of “Good Omens,” the demon Crowley played by David Tennant and the angel Aziraphale played by Michael Sheen, will be coming back for season 2. Their chemistry in the first season was undeniable, and I know many “Good Omens” fans are eager to see the two together again. We don’t know yet who will be joining everyone’s favorite angel and demon in the second season, though one can’t help but hope that Jon Hamm will reprise his role as the jackass angel Gabriel.
