“Good Omens” will conclude with a single 90-minute episode

The third and final season of Good omens“Deadline Hollywood,” Prime Video's fantasy series based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's classic 1990 novel, won't be a full season after all, Deadline Hollywood reports. Due to the sexual assault allegations against Gaiman this summer, the streaming platform has decided that the series finale will not be a full series of episodes, but rather a single 90-minute episode – the equivalent of a made-for-TV movie.

(Major spoilers for the S2 finale of Good omens below.)

As previously reported, the series is based on the original 1990 novel by Gaiman and the late Pratchett. Good omens is the story of an angel, Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), and a demon, Crowley (David Tennant), who gradually become friends over the millennia and join forces to avert Armageddon. Gaiman's obvious deep, passionate love for this project – and the strong chemistry between its stars – made the first season a pure pleasure to watch. Aside from a few minor gripes, it was pretty much everything book fans could hope for in a TV adaptation Good omens.

In Season 2, Aziraphale and Crowley returned to normal when the archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) unexpectedly appeared at the door of Aziraphale's bookstore with no memory of who he was or how he got there. The duo had to escape the combined forces of Heaven and Hell to solve the mystery of what happened to Gabriel and why.

In the second season's cliffhanger finale, the two discovered that Gabriel had defied Heaven and refused to support a second attempt to bring about Armageddon. He hid his own memories from himself to avoid detection. Oh, and he and Beelzebub (Shelley Conn) had fallen in love. They ran away together and Metatron (Derek Jacobi) offered Aziraphale Gabriel's old job. Then Crowley confessed his own love to the angel and asked him to leave heaven and hell behind. Aziraphale wanted Crowley to join him in heaven instead. So Crowley kissed him and they broke up. And when Aziraphale arrived in heaven, he learned that his task was to bring about the Second Coming.
