David Tennant and Michael Sheen will return for a final, feature length episode of Good Omens.

The television adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s fantasy series Good Omens has been hugely successful over the last few years, not least due to the chemistry and charisma of leading duo David Tennant and Michael Sheen. The second series, which debuted in August 2023, was reported to be the number one show on Amazon Prime worldwide, and the first season was hardly struggling for acclaim, either.

The show had been commissioned for a third series before serious abuse allegations about Neil Gaiman (who wrote the adaptation) were made public. Gaiman has strongly denied those allegations.

Production on several of Gaiman’s projects, including Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives, was halted, although it seems Netflix is still pressing ahead with the second series of The Sandman. You can read about the allegations here.

Production on Prime Video’s Good Omens season 3 has been halted after Neil Gaiman’s assault allegations.

We reported last week that Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book film was put on hold after Gaiman was accused of sexual assault. Gaiman has strongly denied all allegations. You can read more about those here.

The third and final season of Gaiman’s Prime Video show Good Omens was already in filming in Scotland, but production has now been paused, as reported by Deadline. Although a spokesperson declined to comment on the matter to Deadline, the outlet has heard that there might be “discussions about possible production changes.” This is completely unconfirmed information, but we’ll keep an eye on any developments.

Good Omens stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant as the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley who team up to save the world from destruction. Season 2 landed on Prime Video in...

Promenade, a new film from John Jencks, has begun production in Brighton this week. More on the film below.

We’re hearing rumbles that a new British film is heading our way sooner rather than later from director John Jencks. The Hippopotamus director is helming Promenade, a Brighton set whodunnit, next and the project has just started filming, we hear.

The announcement comes with an ambiguous tagline: “50 Cast, 12 Stories, 1 Plot. No Heroes.” Colour us intrigued.

Here’s a synopsis for the film: In Brighton on the South coast of England, sharpened by the sting of sea spray, and mellowed by numinous light, a tight-knit community of oddballs and heart-felts live together in a tatty old mansion, the Fletcher Apartments. When a golden feather, the priceless antique mascot of the building, unexpectedly disappears, the residents have a mystery to solve. Will they find the talisman that previously bound them together, or will their community,...

“Good Omens” creator Neil Gaiman says he has been hired to write a third season of Prime Video’s adaptation of the acclaimed fantasy novel after the Writers Guild of America and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reached a tentative deal.

“Now that the strikes is over, are you gonna to start writing Good Omens Season 3?” a user on the social media platform Bluesky asked Gaiman, to which he replied: “Yes.”

“Has it been renewed for a Season 3?” another user asked, to which he responded “No, but I’ve been hired to write one.”

Another follower said the announcement was “wonderful news” and asked if John Finnemore or other writers would also be involved, to which Gaiman said, “Right now just me.”

The update comes after Gaiman previously said on his Tumblr account that a third season was “all planned and plotted” but that the show wouldn’t...

Commentary‘Good Omens’ Season 2 delivers not only on its promise of a whimsical adventure but also on the desire for deeper queer storylines and representation.Good Omens returns with a delightful Season 2 that continues to explore the heartwarming bond between angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and demon Crowley (David Tennant). The chemistry between the lead actors is as strong as ever and remains the driving force of the show. Season 2 picks up with the sudden appearance of Archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) at Aziraphale’s doorstep, leading to an adventure that Heaven and Hell cannot ignore. Good Omens is based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s hit 1990 novel, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. While plans for a sequel had been discussed between the prolific writers, Pratchett’s passing in 2015 left fans uncertain about its realisation. However, Gaiman’s determination prevailed and this time, he collaborated...

“If you’re going to burn it down, you should have told us!” laughs Good Omens set decorator Bronwyn Franklin, explaining why the set for Aziraphale’s bookshop is, by her estimation, “five to 10 per cent” different this time around.

“We never realised it’d be a second series, because it was one book, one Good Omens series. And then everyone loved it so much that Amazon said we really want another.” The surprise series renewal meant redressing the bookshop set from scratch, after it was burned down by an errant candle at the end of season one, episode four. (Hence Aziraphale’s preference for electric candles in the second run.)

Is that particular set still standing by the end of season two? “It’s all still here,” confirms Franklin. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that we’ll ever make anything again,” she says as a caveat, but this time around at least,...

This post contains spoilers for "Good Omens" season 2.

For six millennia, Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and Crowley (David Tennant) have been in a slow-burn romance. Despite never uttering "I love you" aloud, it's a dance they both know well throughout the eons of the Prime Video-BBC apocalyptic comedy "Good Omens," based on the 1990 novel by Neil Gaiman (showrunner and writer) and the late Terry Pratchett. In perhaps the great celestial opposites-attract rom-com, Aziraphale is a cheerful do-gooding angel just as the fallen angel Crowley is a mischievous abrasive demon. They might pretend to be mortal enemies, but they take pleasure in collaborating and chattering on Earth. As seen in season 2, they often work to rescue mortals (like rescuing Job's children) or indulge in mortal antics.

After the season 1 finale, their excommunication from their respective offices seems to liberate them from their obligations. These Ineffable Boyfriends, though, get their relationship...

It’s been four years since the first season of Good Omens premiered on Prime Video, and now, to celebrate the arrival of Good Omens Season 2, Michael Sheen (Aziraphale) and David Tennant (Crowley) say a third chapter of the fantasy epic could happen. Gaiman has been on the ground floor of the new season. He’s also said the latest episodes act like a bridge between the first book and an idea for an original sequel. This tidbit implies we could get Good Omens Season 3 if all goes well.

Speaking with Comicbook.com about the possibility of a third season, Sheen and Tennant hinted at the door being wide open for the story to continue.

“Well, it’s not in our gift,” Tennant said when asked if fans will encounter the forces of good and evil alongside Crowley and Aziraphale again. “Yeah. If it was up to us, that would be one thing,...

Spoiler Alert: This recap contains spoilers from the Season 2 finale of “Good Omens,” now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

In the 2006 reprinted edition of Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett’s 1990 classic “Good Omens,” the co-authors did a Q&a in which they answered the question “Why isn’t there a sequel?” like this:

“We played around with ideas, but we could never work up the enthusiasm. Besides, we wanted to do other things. Recently, though, we’ve both been wondering if ‘never again’ is set in stone. So there might be a sequel one day. Maybe. Perhaps. Who knows? We don’t.”

Well, now we do know, because on July 28, Amazon Prime Video dropped the second season of its TV adaptation of “Good Omens,” which sees Michael Sheen and David Tennant reprise their roles as apocalypse-fighting, millennia-long best friends: the fussy angel and rare-book dealer Aziraphale and fast-living demon Crowley.

This post contains spoilers for "Good Omens" season 2.

So much for happy endings, huh? Now that we've finished burning through the second season of Neil Gaiman's Prime Video adaptation of "Good Omens," it's time to regroup and process exactly what just went down in the six-episode continuation of Crowley (David Tennant) and Aziraphale's (Michael Sheen) story. In this case, that most likely means screaming at God (or Gaiman) about the show's abrupt pivot from a fluffy, rom-com story into an angst-riddled drama in the last ten minutes. Luckily, though, Crowley and Aziraphale's big breakup seems to be an unhappy middle to a still-unfolding story.

The first five episodes of the new season were giddy and adorable, like the TV equivalent of walking on a cloud even at their darkest moments. Sure, there were obstacles in the way of Aziraphale and Crowley's domestic bliss, but the amnesiac Gabriel (Jon Hamm...

Following the success of its premiere offering, “Good Omens” has returned to Prime Video for a second season, and the four-year wait between courses has done little to wane fans’ excitement.

The first season was based on the hit 1990 novel “Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch,” by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. The prolific writers had long discussed ideas for a sequel, yet nothing had been fully realized at the time of Pratchett’s death in 2015. After writing the script for the first season alone, Gaiman teamed up with writer John Finnemore this time around to create fresh material, strongly influenced by his former talks with Pratchett.

David Tennant returns as fallen angel-turned-demon Crowley, with Michael Sheen reprising the role of law-abiding angel Aziraphale. Much like in Season 1, the unlikely pair have their own way of doing things, joining forces in their effort to make...

Good Omens season two is a story of friendship and love and, to quote Terry Pratchett’s Moving Pictures, “Passione in a Worlde Gone Madde!” Gorgeous-looking, perfectly cast, and full of joy, it’s like a warm hug and a mug of hot chocolate… with a little macabre horror and sketch show comedy bobbing beneath the surface.

Good Omens season one was based on a standalone novel written by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, which meant that it was a complete story. That’s why most of its characters and plotlines – Adam and pals, Agnes Nutter, Anathema and the Four Motorcycle Riders of the Apocalypse – don’t appear in season two.

But more than any of those, Good Omens season one was the story of the friendship between the demon Crowley and the angel Aziraphale. They’re the true protagonists of the book, and indisputably the stars of the TV show,...

Everyday, the return of Good Omens is getting closer! Ahead of the 28th July premiere date, Prime Video released the official trailer for the ineffable second season of the fan-favourite series, starring Michael Sheen, David Tennant, and Jon Hamm. After the global success and enthusiastic response to the first season, co-creator Neil Gaiman answered the calls of fans keen to see more of the eternal saga of unholy duo, angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley. All six episodes will be released exclusively on Prime Video on 28th July.

Originally based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling novel, Good Omens 2 explores storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the ineffable friendship between Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), a fussy angel and rare-book dealer, and the fast-living demon Crowley (David Tennant).

Having been on Earth since The Beginning, and with the Apocalypse thwarted, the duo are getting back to...

There’s never been a better year to be a David Tennant fan – the man’s the very definition of “booked and busy”.

You could have been forgiven for thinking he’d had a pretty unbeatable year back in 2005, when (among other things) he starred in two of that year’s biggest TV and film successes, both beginning his tenure as the Tenth Doctor in Doctor Who and playing Barty Crouch Jr in Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire.

But almost 20 years later, Tennant’s demand has only continued growing, so much so that these days it’s almost easier to list the blockbuster shows and franchises that don’t involve David Tennant.

Add to that acting roles for Georgia Tennant, his wife, and three of their five children (so far!), and there’s a whole smorgasbord of Tennant talent on offer.

Let’s take a look at what...

Good Omens fans are losing their minds on social media, and frankly, we don’t blame them. They’ve been waiting two long years for the second series, and this time it’s completely unknown territory: while series one adapted Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s 1990 comedic novel about the end of the world, series two is the brand-new invention of Gaiman and Cabin Pressure writer John Finnemore. Who knows where Good Omens’ much-loved central characters – the angel Aziraphale (aka Michael Sheen) and demon Crowley (aka David Tennant) – will end up?

Amazon Prime Video’s social media has been slowly building fans into a frenzy by drip-feeding the release date announcement (July 28th) followed by Easter egg-filled posters and series two opening credits.

And now – with mere weeks to go – the Good Omens series 2 trailer is here! Watch it below:

Lots to unpack, there – so let’s get into it:...

Are you ready for Michael Sheen and David Tennant to join forces again?

Prime Video on Wednesday dropped the trailer for Good Omens Season 2, and it teases an unholy alliance for the ages.

The six-episode second season will release exclusively on Prime Video on July 28 in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

As previously reported, Good Omens Season 2 explores storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the uncanny friendship between Aziraphale, a fussy angel, and rare book dealer, and the fast-living demon Crowley.

Having been on Earth since The Beginning, and with the Apocalypse thwarted, Aziraphale and Crowley are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London's Soho when an unexpected messenger presents a surprising mystery.

Returning this season in...

“I’m back,” proclaims David Tennant’s demon Crowley at the opening of the Season 2 trailer for Good Omens, to which Michael Sheen’s unfazed Aziraphale replies “I see that.”

We’re getting the first look at the long-awaited second season of the Prime Video series ahead of its July 28 premiere.

Aziraphale and Crowley are back after helping to save the world from the Apocalypse to solve a mystery that takes in all of heaven and hell.

When Season 2 premieres late next month, it will be more than four years since the series debut in May 2019.

Originally based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling novel, Good Omens 2 explores storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the ineffable friendship between Aziraphale (Sheen), a fussy angel and rare-book dealer, and the fast-living demon Crowley (Tennant).

Per its official description,...

Prime Video has unveiled a trailer for the second season of “Good Omens,” starring Michael Sheen, David Tennant and Jon Hamm.

Originally based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s bestselling novel, “Good Omens 2” goes beyond the source material to illuminate the unique friendship between Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), a fussy angel and rare-book dealer and the fast-living demon Crowley (David Tennant). The duo are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho until the archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) turns up unexpectedly at the door of Aziraphale’s bookshop with no memory of who he is or how he got there.

Reprising their roles are Doon Mackichan as archangel Michael and Gloria Obianyo as archangel Uriel. Returning this season in new roles are Miranda Richardson as demon Shax, Maggie Service as Maggie and Nina Sosanya as Nina, with new faces joining the misfits in Heaven and Hell: Liz Carr as angel Saraqael,...

Over four years after its debut, Amazon Prime Video has dropped the trailer for “Good Omens” Season 2. The six-episode season is set to premiere on July 28.

Season 1 of the fantasy comedy ended in the same manner as Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s 1990 book of the same name. After the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (David Tennant) somehow manage to stop Armageddon, they stop to take in the world. But as this trailer teases, their peace will be short-lived.

When the head of the angels Gabriel (Jon Hamm) disappears, Heaven is thrown into chaos. The mystery deepens when he appears on the doorstep of Aziraphale’s bookshop, completely devoid of his memories. According to a press release for the series, this season will range from “before The Beginning, to biblical times, grave robbing in Victorian Edinburgh, the Blitz of 1940s England, all the way through to modern day.

The Prime Video series "Good Omens," based on the novel "Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, is a delightfully irreverent romp through the apocalypse. The demon Crowley (David Tennant) and angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) are the unlikeliest of friends, but they still manage to stop the apocalypse together despite their many differences. Sure, there was a mix-up with the infant antichrist that led to a much sillier apocalypse than expected, but everything turned out okay in the end, and now the angel-demon duo are coming back for another, all-new adventure.

Season 1 of "Good Omens" felt like a one-and-done deal, with a complete story that ends rather resolutely, and there's no sequel novel to draw from. However, the success of the series and fan love for Aziraphale and Crowley was enough to inspire co-creator Gaiman to write an entirely new...

The Amazon series Good Omens covered the events of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter (buy a copy Here) in the six episode first season – and now a second season that goes beyond the events of the book has been given a July premiere date! It has been confirmed that Good Omens season 2 will be available to watch on the Prime Video streaming service as of July 28th.

Gaiman has written the new episodes of Good Omens with John Finnemore. Douglas Mackinnon, who directed the previous six episodes, directed the new six as well. Mackinnon is also an executive producer and co-showrunner with Gaiman. Finnemore is another executive producer, as are Rob Wilkins and BBC Studios Productions’ Head of Comedy Josh Cole. The series is produced by Amazon Studios, BBC Studios Productions, The Blank Corporation, and Narrativia.

Michael Sheen...

It's been an excruciating wait, but we finally know when Good Omens Season 2 will get underway.

Good Omens Season 2 will premiere July 28 on Prime Video.

The premiere date was revealed on the 33rd anniversary of the publishing of the original novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett and Gaiman, which was the basis for the first season of the television series.

The six-episode season will be released exclusively on Prime Video on July 28 in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Good Omens Season 2 explores storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the uncanny friendship between Aziraphale, a fussy angel and rare book dealer, and the fast-living demon Crowley.

Having been on Earth since The Beginning, and with the Apocalypse thwarted, Aziraphale and Crowley are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London's Soho when an unexpected messenger presents a surprising mystery.

It’s been one hell of a wait for the unholy duo’s return, but Good Omens just announced some great news: All six episodes of Season 2 will hit Prime Video Friday, July 28, the streamer announced Wednesday.

Per its official description, the second season “will explore storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the uncanny friendship between Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), a fussy angel and rare book dealer, and the fast-living demon Crowley (David Tennant).

Prime Video’s New York Comic Con panel for the much-anticipated season two of Good Omens featured writer/executive producer Neil Gaiman, director Douglas Mackinnon, executive producer Rob Wilkins, Maggie Service (“Sister Theresa Garrulous”), Nina Sosanya (“Sister Mary Loquacious”), and Quelin Sepulveda (“Muriel”). Michael Sheen (“Aziraphale”), David Tennant (“Crowley”), and Jon Hamm (“Gabriel”) also very briefly joined the gathering via Zoom to discuss the upcoming season which will arrive on Prime Video in the summer of 2023.

Neil Gaiman, who confirmed the second season will consist of six episodes, first approached Amazon and BBC in August 2019 with the plot of season two. They loved it and that led to a conversation with writer John Finnemore in December 2019 in which Gaiman came up with the season two ending.

Prior to the Nycc panel not much had been known about the season two plot. During the panel, Gaiman dropped a few tidbits about...

It’s been written in the stars that two stand-out comic book character actors will come together for Ursa Major, an upcoming science-fiction thriller from the Baker Brothers. Xochitl Gomez (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead are joining forces for the new project as a mother and daughter duo fighting to survive.

Jonathan and Josh Baker direct Ursa Major, featuring the story of Charlie (Winstead) and Natalie (Gomez), a mother and daughter pair of survivors trapped on a harsh Earth-like planet. As a deadly storm heads toward the planetoid, the duo avoids encroaching elements, crazed hunters, and more. While Natalie has always trusted her mother, she’s beginning to question the strategies they’ve used to survive and thinks it might be time to change who leads the charge.

The story for Ursa Major hails from an original script co-written by Station Eleven creator Patrick Somerville,...

Derek Jacobi will reprise his role as Metatron in “Good Omens” season 2.

The “Gladiator” star plays the voice of God in the Amazon Prime Video original series, which is based on the book by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

Also returning to the series are Mark Gatiss (“Sherlock”), Steve Pemberton (“The League of Gentlemen”), Reece Shearsmith (“Inside No. 9”) and Niamh Walsh (“The English Game”).

The show, which is directed by Douglas Mackinnon (Mackinnon and Gaiman act as co-showrunners), has also added “Dune’s” Siân Phillips, Tim Downie (“Outlander”), Pete Firman (“The Magicians”), Andi Osho (“I May Destroy You”), and Alex Norton (“Taggart”).

“We are so thrilled that we were able to get so many fabulous actors to return to the ‘Good Omens’ family,” Gaiman said in a statement. “Some of them are reprising roles, some of them are playing completely new characters. And we are just as thrilled by...

Exclusive: Cast has been set for season two of Amazon and BBC’s Neil Gaiman fantasy series Good Omens, which remains in production in Scotland.

Reprising his role as Metatron is Derek Jacobi (Gladiator) and joining the cast for season two is his I, Claudius co-star Dame Siân Phillips (Dune).

Also returning this season in roles that span heaven, hell, and earth are the trio from The League of Gentlemen Mark Gatiss (Sherlock), Steve Pemberton (Killing Eve), and Reece Shearsmith (Inside No. 9).

Niamh Walsh (The English Game) returns, while joining in new roles are Tim Downie (Outlander), Pete Firman (The Magicians), Andi Osho (I May Destroy You), and Alex Norton (Pirates of the Caribbean).

There are still a few names to be added but we can reveal that big-hitters Benedict Cumberbatch and Frances McDormand won’t be back for season two.

Originally based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s novel,...

Jon Hamm is returning as Archangel Gabriel in Neil Gaiman’s fantasy series Good Omens as the Amazon drama has added a pair of new angels and a character from hell.

Liz Carr, who has featured in FX’s Devs and BBC’s Silent Witness, has signed on to play Saraqael, while Quelin Sepulveda, who is in Netflix’s action thriller Havoc, will play Muriel.

Bridgerton’s Shelley Conn joins the cast as another new character from hell.

Good Omens was renewed earlier this summer by the streamer with Michael Sheen returning as Aziraphale, a fussy angel and rare book dealer, and David Tennant returning as the fast-living demon Crowley — an unlikely duo that teamed up to save the world from the apocalypse.

Hamm’s Gabriel will be aided and abetted by the Angels Michael, played by returning cast member Doon Mackichan, and Uriel, played by Dune’s Gloria Obianyo.

“Mad Men” star Jon Hamm is returning to Amazon Prime Video for season 2 of “Good Omens.”

Hamm will reprise the role of Archangel Gabriel in the series, which is currently in production in Scotland.

Also returning are Doon Mackichan (“Toast”), who plays Angel Michael, and Gloria Obianyo (“Dune”) as Uriel.

They will be joined by new angels Liz Carr (“Devs”) who plays Saraqael and Quelin Sepulveda (“Havoc”) as Muriel. Shelley Conn (“Bridgerton”) also joins as a “key character from Hell.”

“Good Omens” is based on the book of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Season 2 will explore storylines that go beyond the original book, including a closer look at the friendship between “fussy angel” Aziraphale and “fast-living demon” Crowley.

“’Good Omens 2′ just would not be the same without the astonishing Jon Hamm as Gabriel, everyone’s worst boss,” said writer and co-showrunner Neil Gaiman in a statement.

Amazon recently announced that Good Omens season 2 would be returning for a six-episode run, and those who read the single novel written by Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett uttered a collective, “Huh?” The show was logically conceived as a limited series given that what is now season 1 already adapted the entire existing story. However, it turns out that Gaiman, as executive producer, left himself some openings to continue the tale, the seeds of which do exist.

It turns out that Gaiman and the late Pratchett had discussed a possible sequel to their popular collaborative novel, and some elements from that effort, which would have been titled 668: The Neighbor of the Beast, have already been introduced. “The fact that we have Jon Hamm as the impossibly irritating angel Gabriel is something from the sequel we slid back in, [including] the relationship between heaven and hell, where we keep going back...

Good Omens is not over at Amazon Prime.

Over two years after the series debut, the streaming service has officially ordered a second season of the David Tennant and Michael Sheen fantasy drama.

While the series was initially supposed to be a limited series, it performed well enough for Amazon to want to order an additional season.

Production is set to get underway in Scotland later this year.

The second season will explore plots that go beyond the source material, meaning that fans will be stepping into uncharted territory.

Neil Gaiman, who has an overall deal with Amazon Studios, is set to continue as executive producer and will co-showrun along with executive producer Douglas Mackinnon, who will also return to direct.

Good Omens Season 1 also starred Jon Hamm, Nick Offerman, Jack Whitehall, Miranda Richardson, Adria Arjona, Michael McKean, Anna Maxwell Martin, and Mireille Enos.

Gaiman said, “It’s thirty-one years since Good Omens was published,...

We haven’t seen the last of Aziraphale and Crowley.

Good Omens — which was initially conceived as a limited series — has been renewed for Season 2, Amazon Prime announced Tuesday. Michael Sheen and David Tennant will reprise their respective roles as the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley in six new episodes, which will begin filming in Scotland later this year.

Hallelujah! The David Tennant and Michael Sheen-led “Good Omens” has been renewed for Season 2 at Amazon Prime Video, the streaming service said Tuesday.

The six-part second season will be written by series creator Neil Gaiman and go beyond the Amazon show’s source material, the 1990 novel “Good Omens.” That book, which was written by Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, follows an angel and demon who teamed up to save the world from the apocalypse.

Gaiman said Season 2 is based on his and Pratchett’s shared idea for a sequel to the original novel.

Sheen and Tennant starred in the first season of “Good Omens,” which launched in May 2019, and will return to reprise their leading roles as the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley, respectively, for Season 2.

Amazon has given a second season order to “Good Omens,” the comedic fantasy drama produced by Neil Gaiman based on the work of revered British novelist Terry Pratchett.

David Tennant, of “Dr. Who” and “Broadchurch” fame, is back in his co-lead slot, as is Michael Sheen. The pair will reprise their roles as the angel Aziraphale (Sheen) and demon Crowley (Tennant). The “unlikely duo” is billed as “teaming up to save the world from the apocalypse,” per Amazon.

Season one aired in 2019. The second six-episode season will begin filming in Scotland later this year but no premiere date has been confirmed.

“Good Omens” is based on the 1990 novel of the same name that was a collaboration between Pratchett, the prolific writer who created the enduring “Discworld” series of fantasy novels, and Gaiman. “Good Omens” is in part a dark spoof of the 1976 movie “The Omen” and other horror fiction involving...

Levantine Films will finance and produce “In Too Deep,” directed by “Veep” creator Armando Iannucci, sources tell Variety.

Iannucci also co-wrote the script with John Finnemore. Iannucci will produce alongside Levantine.

Plot details are being kept under wraps.

Tory Metzger, Levantine’s president of production, will oversee production of the project on behalf of the company.

Iannucci broke onto the Hollywood scene with the Oscar-nominated satire “In the Loop,” but he is best known for creating the hit HBO comedy “Veep,” which earned him several Emmy wins.

Iannucci has now turned his attention back to helming for the big screen, having recently directed “The Death of Stalin,” which earned him strong critical notices. He is currently prepping production on “The Personal History of David Copperfield,” a re-telling of the classic Charles Dickens story. The pic stars Dev Patel in the title role. Variety broke the news on Thursday that Tilda Swinton,...

We asked Den Of Geek’s writers to recommend brilliant comedy shows that deserve to have more of a fuss made about them. Here they are...

Banging a drum about stuff we love is more or less our remit on Den Of Geek - hence what many readers have started referring to as the ‘inexplicably regular' appearance of Statham, squirrels and Harold Bishop from Neighbours on these pages.

To that end then, we asked our writers which comedy shows (past and present, UK or otherwise, on TV, radio, or online…) deserved more praise, and here are the ones they chose. You might already like them too, or you might discover something new to dig out and enjoy. That’s the fun of it.

Please note that this list isn’t ranked in any order, nor is it exhaustive. It’s compiled from the opinions of a group of different people,...

In addition to still-life model at MoMA and dance leader at Ebertfest, Tilda Swinton has now added “Redditeer” to her resume. She was on hand Monday for an Ama to promote Snowpiercer and put on her signature arty charm, earning a few nicknames (T-Swinny), declaring her love of Alt-j and revealing she’s actually a clone of David Bowie in the process. Here’s a few of some her best answers:

Have you ever considered changing your name (or at least how it appears in print) to the tilde symbol “~” a la Prince?

Frankly no, but since you mention it.. ~ xo

(Reddit also had some fun with this, calling her “~Swinton”, “Approximately Swinton”, “On the Order of Swinton”, “Deviantart user Swinton” and “Not Swinton”)

The Grand Budapest Hotel and Only Lovers Left Alive both seem like they must have been very fun movies to work on, was that the case?...

I hope you came here already knowing Tilda Swinton is perhaps the definitive bad-ass movie star. What hasn't she done? Who hasn't she played? When haven't we been stunned by her commitment, coolness, and ferocious ebullience? There is no adequate parallel to Tilda Swinton, unless you count a photo-negative of Grace Jones.  The Oscar-winning actress conducted an "Ask Me Anything" Reddit forum where she kept on being awesome. Here are all the awesome thing she said. 1. She listed her favorite comedians: "Amy Schumer!! Bill Murray Mitch Hedberg Will Ferrell Bill Hader Chris Morris Graham Linehan John Finnemore and many many many many many more Comedy = lifeblood" 2. She compared moviemaking to summer camp. "Working with both Jim Jarmusch and Wes Anderson is like the summer camp of dreams.. with significant themic differences.. Wes Camp means all staying in a big house together and eating round one big table every night, none...

Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson who was nominated for Stonewall's Bigot of the Year award in 2007 for refusing to apologize for derogatory gay jibes he uttered on his primetime TV show, has done it again. An exchange with former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell, which was cut from the broadcast version of the show, has come to light after Campbell blogged about the experience.

Jeremy Clarkson

"I cannot remember how the subject of homosexuality came up, but I said at one point that he wasn't very sound on gay rights … Oh yes I am, he said, adding, to more laughter from the largely adoring crowd 'I demand the right not to be bummed.'

"I had the immediate thought that this was unlikely to be broadcast at 8 Pm on a Sunday, with "Songs of Praise" still ringing in some ears, but nonetheless chipped in that I suspected he was worried that he might like it.
