Good Omens Won’t Return Until Next Year

Alas, there is not—yet—a trailer for the second season of Good Omens. But the release window for the Amazon Prime show was announced today at New York Comic Con: Beloved angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and demon Crowley (David Tennant) will be together once again in summer of 2023.

There are also a few new faces among season two’s cast—and a few new looks, which the series revealed on Twitter:

Yes, that’s a coffee shop called Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death, and it’s run by Nina Sosyana’s character, who is called Nina. It’s across the street from the record shop run by Maggie Service’s character, who is called Maggie, and no, that’s not confusing at all. (The characters were given those names as placeholders because Gaiman always intended them for the roles, but he… elected not to change them.)

Along with Tennant, Sheen, Service and Sosyana, several more members of the first-season cast are returning, though not all as their previous characters—Miranda Richardson is back, but will be playing a new demon, one sent to Earth by Hell to replace Crowley now that he’s been “sacked.” You will also see Jon Hamm, Michael McKean, Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith, Niamh Walsh, Doon Mackichan, and Gloria Obianyo. New cast members include Liz Carr (the angel Saraqael), Quelin Sepulveda (the angel Muriel), and Shelley Conn (the new Beelzebub because Anna Maxwell Martin wasn’t available), Dame Siân Phillips, Tim Downie, Pete Firman, Andi Osho), and Alex Norton.

According to Gaiman, season two will be “about six episodes” with “love stories,” and “a lot more Heaven, a lot more Hell.”

Good Omens returns to Prime Video next summer.
