When the most recent adaptation of Good Omens was announced, every fan of this bestselling book had to have felt a few palpitations.
Gaiman has said he lost interest in adapting the series after Pratchett’s death, but when he received a letter that Pratchett had written to Gaiman while he was alive, Gaiman changed his mind.
The stakes of the show is a pending apocalypse, i.e. the end of the earth and humanity as we know it. For those who haven’t watched the first season, McDormand plays God and Cumberbatch is Satan. You’re welcome.
In the middle of all the humor, Good Omens explores the serious philosophical implications of free will and predetermination. There are also subversive takes on characters from some religious texts.
The season focuses on events that unfold after the apocalypse has been thwarted, and the story centers around the mystery of Gabriel’s forgotten memory, which Crowley and Aziraphale are trying to help with and investigate. The first episode of Good Omens season 2 drops on July 28th, 2023.
