Good Omens Season 2 has officially kicked off production, with several familiar faces returning to the series alongside David Tennant and Michael Sheen.
The cameras have started rolling on the second season of Amazon's fantasy drama, Good Omens, with production now underway in Scotland. A number of key cast members from the show's first season are returning to support Tennant and Sheen, who are reprising their respective roles as the demon Crowley and the angel Aziraphale for the next chapter.
Some cast members returning for the show's sophomore season are reprising their roles while others are said to be playing new characters, however, those characters haven't been outlined just yet. The actors on board for Season 2 include Paul Adeyefa, Michael McKean, Gloria Obianyo, Miranda Richardson, Maggie Service, Reece Shearsmith, and Nina Sosanya.
Originally based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's bestselling novel, the new season will explore storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the uncanny friendship between Aziraphale and Crowley, who'll be "getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London's Soho when an unexpected messenger presents a surprising mystery."
Neil Gaiman, who has an overall deal with Amazon Studios, is an executive producer on the series and will co-showrun along with executive producer Douglas Mackinnon, who will also direct. Rob Wilkins, John Finnemore, and BBC Studios Productions' head of comedy Josh Cole will also executive produce, with Finnemore serving as co-writer alongside Gaiman.
"We get to have new adventures with old friends, to solve some extremely mysterious mysteries, and we encounter some entirely new humans (living, dead, and otherwise), angels, and demons," Gaiman said of Season 2. "I took pleasure in inviting people back, wherever we could, some in the roles they played originally, some in new parts written just for them."
"Having a company of players reuniting for this second season of Good Omens is like bringing a family back together, this time in Scotland," Mackinnon added. "Our team is being enriched with new talent on both sides of the camera so I am excited to be at the helm for six more episodes of what we hope will be heavenly entertainment."
The seeds for a follow-up season seemed to have been planted in Good Omens' first season finale, which saw Aziraphale and Crowley successfully thwart the end of the world before they engaged in a final conversation together that hinted at an even bigger apocalypse to come: the inevitable war between angels and demons fighting against humanity.
Good Omens will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide at an as yet unconfirmed date.
