Good Omens Season 3: Confirmation, Cast, Story & Everything We Know

Summary Good Omens season 3 is confirmed, and season 3 will be the last.

The planned sequel for the original Good Omens novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett will be used for the third season, not for season 2 as originally speculated.

The main focus of the series will be the relationship between Crowley and Aziraphale, as well as another doomsday scenario that threatens the world.

Good Omens season 3 has been given the green light by Amazon Prime Video, and there are several exciting updates about the final set of episodes. Good Omens is based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and follows the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and demon Crowley (David Tennant) who've developed a unique relationship over the centuries they've spent on Earth, one that sees them put their differences aside to set out to stop the end of the world.

The first season of Good Omens was based on the novel, and it was speculated that season 2 could be based on a sequel that Gaiman and Pratchett had planned out before the latter's death. However, Gaiman has since said that the planned sequel was not the second season, and it instead would be used for Good Omens season 3. This has only added to the already intense speculation about the show's return to Amazon Prime Video after the second season cliffhanger, and there's already much to discuss when it comes to Good Omens season 3.

Good Omens Season 3 Is Confirmed

Season 3 Will Be The Last

In December 2023, Amazon Prime Video officially confirmed Good Omens season 3 was on the way. The third season is also expected to be the final one, which fulfills the original plan of a trilogy envisioned by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.

Good Omens Season 3 Production Status

It Will Be A While Before Season 3 Premieres

At this juncture, no release timeline has been established but all indications suggest it will be a long time before season 3 of Good Omens arrives. In April 2024, Neil Gaiman revealed he was writing season 3 and that it was expected to begin shooting in January 2025. This means the earliest season 3 can arrive is late 2025, but with so many visual effects the wait might stretch into 2026.

Good Omens season 2 premiered all 6 of its episodes on July 28, 2023.

Good Omens Season 3 Cast

Michael Sheen & David Tennant Return To Lead The Cast

The Good Omens season 3 cast will likely be comprised of mostly returning faces. Michael Sheen (Underworld, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn) as the angel Aziraphale and David Tennant (Doctor Who, Jessica Jones) as the demon Crowley will of course return. Good Omens season 2 brought back Jon Hamm (Mad Men, The Morning Show) as Gabriel and made him a massive part of the story, as his disappearance threatened a war between Heaven and Hell.

Maggie Service (Red Dwarf) and Nina Sosanya (Screw) returned for season 2 but as entirely different characters. Gaiman made an interesting comment about past actors. "With anybody that I wanted to bring back, but didn’t have room for right now, I did not have to bring them back as themselves," Gaiman said (via SFX), meaning anyone could return for the Good Omens season 3 cast, even in a new role.

The presumptive Good Omens season 3 cast includes:

Actor Good Omens Role David Tennant Crowley Michael Sheen Aziraphale Jon Hamm Gabriel Doon Mackichan Michael Gloria Obianyo Uriel Miranda Richardson Shax Liz Carr Saraqael Quelin Sepulveda Murie Shelley Conn Beelzebub

Good Omens Season 3 Story Details

Crowley & Aziraphale's Final Mission

With Aziraphale and Crowley seemingly at odds, the unearthly power couple is tasked with saving the world even if they can't seem to get along.

The Good Omens season 3 story was set up during the last minutes of the second season. It was a moment that turned the entire series on its head and morphed Good Omens from mostly lighthearted fun to a drama that broke viewers' hearts. Most of the second season saw Crowley and Aziraphale helping Gabriel, who it turned out came to Earth to find Beelzebub, someone he secretly loved. However, this story really showed what Good Omens is really about. This is a show about the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley finally admitting their love for each other.

Neil Gaiman did tease the overall plot of Good Omens season 3, and the end of the world is once again on the horizon. With Aziraphale and Crowley seemingly at odds, the unearthly power couple is tasked with saving the world even if they can't seem to get along. Good Omens season 3 will have everything the previous two seasons had, but with even bigger stakes as the budding romance between Aziraphale and Crowley takes a back seat to another Armageddon scenario.
