Good Omens will return to Prime Video for a third and final season, with stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant confirmed to be returning.
Based on Neil Gaiman and the late Sir Terry Pratchett’s book of the same name, the series focuses on the efforts of Aziraphale (Sheen), a fussy angel and rare-book dealer, and fast-living demon Crowley (Tennant) to avoid Armageddon.
Its final season will bring to life a conversation from almost 35 years ago, between Gaiman and Pratchett where the authors mapped out “what happens next” to the characters.
Filming will start “soon” in Scotland with the series produced by produced by Amazon MGM Studios, BBC Studios Productions, the Blank Corporation, and Narrativia – which represents Pratchett’s estate.
Gaiman said: “I’m so happy finally to be able to finish the story Terry and I plotted in 1989 and in 2006. Terry was determined that if we made Good Omens for television, we could take the story all the way to the end.
“Season One was all about averting Armageddon, dangerous prophecies, and the End of the World. Season Two was sweet and gentle, although it may have ended less joyfully than a certain Angel and Demon might have hoped.
“Now in Season Three, we will deal once more with the end of the world. The plans for Armageddon are going wrong. Only Crowley and Aziraphale working together can hope to put it right. And they aren’t talking.”
Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios, added: “Good Omens has checked every box for a clever, witty, and funny comedy that not only made it a success on Prime Video, but also made ‘goodness’ watchable and fun thanks to Neil and Terry’s immense creativity.
“The final season is sure to be packed with the same dynamic energy that our global customers have come to enjoy.”
