Good Omens Season 3 Reduced to 90-Minute Finale

The third and final season of Good Omens is expected to continue on Prime Video after being put on hiatus following sexual assault allegations against showrunner Neil Gaiman.

Production on the final installment, announced back in December, will begin in early 2025 and will be reduced to a 90-minute episode with Michael Sheen and David Tennant returning as angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley, respectively.

It will also bring to life a chance conversation from nearly 35 years ago between the late Sir Terry Pratchett and Gaiman, in which, according to the streamer, they opened up about what was happening alongside the characters in the world of their internationally best-selling novel.

The finale will be executive produced by Amazon MGM Studios, BBC Studios Productions head of comedy Josh Cole and Narrativia's Rob Wilkins, who represents Pratchett's estate. While Gaiman contributed to writing the finale, he will not be working on the production.

Based on Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the first season of the limited series premiered on Prime Video in May 2019. It was subsequently renewed for a second season, which would premiere in July 2023. It explored storylines that went beyond the original source material to illuminate the indescribable friendship between Aziraphale and Crowley.

Filming of the third season of Good Omens in Scotland was halted in September after Tortoise Media reported earlier this year that four women had accused Gaiman of sexual assault and a fifth woman later came forward.

Two of the women, referred to in the story as K and Scarlett, said they were in consensual relationships with the author but described incidents that were not consensual. Gaiman has denied the women's allegations, calling the allegations “disturbing.”

Ahead of production on season three, “Good Omens” co-showrunner Douglas Mackinnon announced on social media that he would not be returning for the next episode, writing, “I'm no longer with this show.”

In addition to “Good Omens,” development on Disney’s adaptation of Gaiman’s novel “The Graveyard Book” was halted in September amid the allegations. Additionally, Netflix canceled its adaptation of Gaiman's Dead Boy Detectives after just one season in August, citing low viewership.
