Good Omens Season 2 OTT Release Date, Plot, Cast, and Expectation
In 2019, Amazon Prime Video unlocked a fantasy comedy series titled, ‘Good Omens’. The story of the series follows the novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman, and the late Terry Pratchett. The makers have now dropped the trailer for the second season of the series. The pivotal character of the show is an angel named Aziraphale along with a demon named Crowley. The two become good friends and enjoy time on Earth. They seem to be determined to prevent Armageddon, the last battle between heaven and hell, from collapsing things.
After the first season, the six-episode series got plenty of worship from the critics with Vinnie Mancuso saying that “Gaiman, who wrote all six episodes, is keeping the chaotic spirit of the book alive while also honoring Pratchett’s endearing tendency to go off on humorous tangents, asides, and footnotes.” Good Omens also faced controversy for its irreverent jokes regarding the Bible along with a Christian group who have launched a petition for the removal of the show from Netflix.
In 2020, Gaiman released a mini-episode named Good Omens: Lockdown, the show was still originally on demand as a limited series. However, Amazon has renewed Good Omens for another season in 2021 and Gaiman also serves as its co-showrunner.
Good Omens Season 2: Plot
We would like to inform you that the first season of Good Omens adopted the entirety of the novel, but Season 2 tells a different and new story that has dropped an idea by Gaiman and Pratchett.
“It’s thirty-one years since ‘Good Omens’ was published, which means it’s thirty-two years since Terry Pratchett and I lay in our respective beds in a Seattle hotel room at a World Fantasy Convention and plotted the sequel. I got to use bits of the sequel in Good Omens — that’s where our angels came from. Terry’s not here any longer, but when he was, we had talked about what we wanted to do with ‘Good Omens,’ and where the story went next.”
And now, thanks to BBC Studios and Amazon, I get to take it there. I have enlisted some wonderful collaborators, and John Finnemore has come on board to carry the torch with me. There are so many questions people have asked about what happened next (and also, what happened before) to our favorite Angel and Demon. Here are the answers you’ve been hoping for. We are back in Soho, and all through time and space, solving a mystery, which starts with an angel wandering through Soho, with no memory.”
Good Omens Season 2: Trailer
As of this writing, Amazon has not publicly released a trailer for Good Omens Season 2, but they did show a clip at the show’s NYCC 2022 panel. According to Collider’s Maggie Lovitt, this brief clip shows Aziraphale and Crowley interacting with a new character, who may be very important this season. Now, while it isn’t a trailer, Prime Video did reveal the opening title sequence of Good Omens Season 2 on May 31. Check it out in the player below:
Good Omens Season 2: Episodes Count
Just like the first season, Good Omens Season 2 will be six episodes long, so Neil Gaiman and company hopefully tell a clear and concise story once again.
Good Omens Season 2: Cast
In this season we will see Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex), David Tennant (Doctor Who), and other returning actors from the first season of Good Omens including Jon Hamm (Mad Men) as the archangel Gabriel, Derek Jacobi (Gosford Park) as the “Voice of God” that’s also separate from God called Metatron.
Niamh Walsh (The Sandman) as a Nazi agent from 1941 named Greta Kleinschmidt, Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen) as a bookseller from 1941 named Mr. Harmony, Steve Pemberton (Inside No. 9) as another bookseller from 1941 named Mr. Glozier, Reece Shearsmith (High-Rise) as the famous English playwright William Shakespeare, Doon Mackichan (The Day Today) as the archangel Michael, and Gloria Obianyo (Dune) as the archangel Uriel.
In the second season, we will see several new faces like Quelin Sepulveda plays Muriel, a well-meaning angel that the actress describes as “gullible and curious.” Gaiman confirms Muriel spent the last 6,000 years in a boring office job and now she desperately wants to get out of it. The NYCC clip reveals Muriel arriving on Earth and meeting Aziraphale and Crowley. She is speaking about the former as she’s human, and the latter is suspicious of her presence. The preview of the show also reveals that Muriel does not know how to act like a human as she struggles to hold a cup and drink tea.
Maggie Service plays Maggie, a record store owner whose business is right next to Aziraphale’s bookshop in Soho. In this, the service played the satanic nun Sister Theresa Garrulous in the first season. In this season we will also see Olivia Colman, Anita Dobson, and Tom Hardy.
Nina Sosanya plays Nina, a coffee shop whose “Give me coffee or give me death” business is right across from Maggie’s record store. She is also reportedly good at handling the Soho crowd.
Miranda Richardson plays Shax, a new demon who takes over for Crowley after he is fired from hell. The lady was a nominee for an Oscar and Emmy nominee. There are several films such as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Crying Game, and Chicken Run as well as various shows such as Merlin, Rubicon, and Parade’s End.
Shelley Conn plays the new Beelzebub. Good Omens Season 2 also reveals Liz Carr (Silent Witness) as another new angel named Saraqael. Other new actors include Siân Phillips (I, Claudius), Tim Downie (Outlander), Pete Firman (Peacock Season), Andi Osho (Line of Duty), and Alex Norton (The Count of Monte Cristo).
