Good Omens Season 3: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 13, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated July 13, 2025, 16:33 IST If you're anything like me, you've been counting down the days (or years!) for Good Omens Season 3 ever since that gut-punch of a Season 2 finale. The show, born from Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's brilliant novel, has us all hooked with its quirky humor, cosmic stakes, and the downright magical chemistry between Aziraphale and Crowley. So, what's next for our favorite angel-demon duo? Let's dive into the latest on the release date, cast, and what we can expect from the final chapter of this heavenly (and hellish) tale. When Can We Expect Good Omens Season 3? Alright, let's get the big question out of the way: when is Good Omens Season 3 dropping? Amazon Prime Video hasn't given us an official date yet, but there's enough chatter to piece together a rough timeline. Filming is set to kick off in January 2025 in Scotland, according to Doon Mackichan (our dear Archangel Michael) and some set leaks floating around. Here's the twist, though—Season 3 isn't a full season. It's a single, 90-minute episode, more like a movie to wrap things up. Why the change? Well, 2024 was a bumpy year for the show. Production hit a snag in September when allegations surfaced against Neil Gaiman, who's no longer involved in the project. Amazon decided to move forward with a streamlined finale to give fans closure. With filming starting early next year, I'm crossing my fingers for a release by late 2025, maybe around the holidays if we're lucky. Good Omens Season 3 Cast Updates The cast of Good Omens is like a warm hug, and thankfully, most of our favorites are returning to see this story through. Here's the scoop on who's confirmed and who we're hoping to see: Michael Sheen (Aziraphale) David Tennant (Crowley) Doon Mackichan (Archangel Michael) Derek Jacobi (Metatron) Jon Hamm (Gabriel) Miranda Richardson (Shax) Quelin Sepulveda (Muriel) Maggie Service and Nina Sosanya (Maggie and Nina) Could we see others, like Adam Young (Sam Taylor Buck), Anathema Device (Adria Arjona), or even Frances McDormand as God's voice? It's possible, but nothing's confirmed. Gaiman once teased that 'some people you love' will return, so I'm keeping my hopes up for surprises. One big change behind the scenes: director Douglas Mackinnon, who gave us the vibe of Seasons 1 and 2, won't be back. A new writer is stepping in to finish the script, which has me curious about the tone. What to expect in Good Omens Season 3? If Season 2 was a cozy, romantic detour, Season 3 is gearing up to bring back the end-of-the-world stakes from Season 1. The finale picks up after that scene—you know, the one where Aziraphale and Crowley broke our hearts by parting ways. Aziraphale's now in Heaven, running the show, while Crowley's probably sulking with a bottle of wine somewhere. According to Gaiman, the story comes from a chat he had with Pratchett decades ago about 'what happens next,' so it's rooted in their original vision. Expect a chaotic second stab at Armageddon, with Heaven and Hell meddling in ways only they can. Metatron's scheming is sure to be central, and there's buzz about the Second Coming playing a role—maybe even a cameo from Jesus Christ, who popped up briefly in Season 1. The big question is whether Aziraphale and Crowley can patch things up. Tennant's 'more kisses' comment has me hopeful for a resolution to their slow-burn romance, but Maggie Service praised Season 2's realistic ending, so I'm bracing for something bittersweet yet authentic. The 90-minute format has me a bit nervous—can they wrap up this epic story in one episode? But with Sheen and Tennant at the helm, I trust it'll be packed with humor, heart, and just enough weirdness to feel like Good Omens .

Michael Sheen Sounds Unconvinced That the ‘Good Omens' Finale Special Will Be Released
But sources say Prime Video is still planning on releasing the special in the wake of the allegations against Neil Gaiman. It's been a roller-coaster of emotions for Good Omens fans since that heartbreaking season two finale. News that the Prime Video adaptation would get a third and final season came in December 2023; the following year, production was reportedly paused amid the allegations against showrunner and source material co-author Neil Gaiman. Then, fans learned Gaiman was reportedly pulling back from Good Omens season three—followed by the announcement in October 2024 that season three was going to be a 90-minute special instead of a full slate of episodes. However, a recent interview with star Michael Sheen, who plays the angelic Aziraphale opposite David Tennant's demonic Crowley, has sown some doubt that the special may ever see the light of day. Speaking to the Times (via Collider), Sheen was asked about Good Omens in a way that framed its 'potential return,' a worrisome way of referring to what fans had assumed was a done deal. 'I really don't know what's going to happen with it,' Sheen said of the finale. He also implied that production was completed on it, and made mention of the Gaiman situation that's unfortunately become part of the show's external narrative: '[Tennant and I] were both relieved we finished the story, but that's within this really difficult, complicated, disturbing context. I hope people get to see it, but that, to a large extent, is out of our hands.' A source familiar with the matter told io9 that the series finale is still moving forward. Though we're still waiting on an official announcement, we're crossing our fingers we'll get to see how Aziraphale and Crowley's 'ineffable' relationship plays out. We'll keep you updated if and when any additional Good Omens finale news becomes available.

Is Good Omens Season 3 releasing in May 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on May 2, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated May 2, 2025, 12:03 IST Good Omens Season 3 is set to be the final chapter of the beloved fantasy comedy series based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Aziraphale and Crowley, the celestial duo whose chemistry has captivated audiences since 2019. With production changes and a unique format, here's everything we know about Good Omens Season 3, including release date speculation, cast updates, and plot details. Good Omens Season 3 Release Date Speculation While Amazon Prime Video has not confirmed an exact release date for Good Omens Season 3, filming is scheduled to begin in January 2025 in Scotland, as confirmed by cast member Doon Mackichan and Prime Video. Unlike the previous seasons, which featured six episodes each, Season 3 will consist of a single 90-minute feature-length episode, acting as the series finale. Given the streamlined production and post-production timeline for a single episode, a release in late 2025 or early 2026 is plausible. Good Omens Season 3 Cast: Who's Returning? The Good Omens Season 3 cast is expected to feature familiar faces, with some actors potentially taking on new roles, a creative choice seen in Season 2. Here's the confirmed and speculated lineup: Michael Sheen as Aziraphale : The book-loving angel returns, grappling with his new role in Heaven. David Tennant as Crowley : The sardonic demon will face high stakes as he navigates his strained relationship with Aziraphale. Jon Hamm as Gabriel : The archangel, whose romantic arc with Beelzebub was a Season 2 highlight, is expected to return. Doon Mackichan as Archangel Michael : Mackichan confirmed her return, hinting at a 'rogue' and intense role. Derek Jacobi as Metatron : The enigmatic voice of Heaven will likely continue his manipulative schemes. Miranda Richardson as Shax : The demon who replaced Beelzebub in Hell is set to appear. Quelin Sepulveda as Muriel: The quirky angel running Aziraphale's bookshop may return. Good Omens Season 3 Potential Plot Details Good Omens Season 3 will conclude the story of Aziraphale and Crowley, drawing from an unwritten sequel plotted by Gaiman and Pratchett in 1989 and 2006. Season 2 served as a narrative bridge, setting up a dramatic finale centered on the Second Coming and another attempt to avert Armageddon. The Season 2 finale left Aziraphale and Crowley at odds after Aziraphale accepted a position as Supreme Archangel, betraying Crowley's trust. The plot will focus on their strained relationship as they face their greatest challenge yet: saving the world while not speaking to each other. Expect high stakes, emotional reconciliation, and the series' signature blend of humor, fantasy, and romance. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
