“Good Omens” Season 3 will only have one episode, Neil Gaiman is not involved

“Good Omens” Season 3 will be just one episode and will continue without Neil Gaiman. diversity has learned.

It was previously announced that the third season of the Amazon Prime Video series, based on the book of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Gaiman, would be the last of the series. However, production on the third season was halted in September after Gaiman was accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

Now Prime Video has confirmed that Season 3 will consist of one 90-minute episode and production is expected to resume in Scotland in early 2025. According to a person familiar with the situation, Gaiman helped write the series finale but will no longer work on the series once production resumes. He is also no longer listed among the executive producers of the series' final episode.

Good Omens first debuted on Prime Video in 2019, with Gaiman originally credited as creator, executive producer and showrunner. It stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant as the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley, respectively. The series was originally planned as a limited series, but its popularity led Amazon to renew it for a second season, based on an idea Gaiman said he discussed with Pratchett before Pratchett's death in 2015.

Narrativia's Rob Wilkins, who represents Pratchett's estate, and Josh Cole, head of comedy at BBC Studios Productions, will executive produce the third season. Amazon MGM Studios, BBC Studios Productions and Narrativia are producing.

This is the latest case since the allegations against Gaiman came to light. It was also previously reported that Disney has paused development of the film adaptation of Gaiman's novel The Graveyard Book. Amazon is currently preparing a series adaptation of Gaiman's book “Anansi Boys,” which will wrap filming in May 2022. The series does not have a premiere date as of this writing, but is expected to arrive sometime in 2025.

The second season of the Netflix series “The Sandman”, which is based on the DC Comics series by Gaiman, is currently in the works. A first taste was recently released as part of the Netflix series “Geeked Week”, with the second season premiere also expected in 2025.
