The third and final season of Good Omens at Prime Video will stretch — or maybe shrink — the definition of “season” in TV terms.
The Amazon-owned streamer announced Thursday that the series, which stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant and is based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s novel, will end with a single, feature-length episode. The 90-minute installment is set to begin production early next year in Scotland.
Prime Video also noted that Gaiman won’t be involved in production on the series ender (though he did contribute to its writing). Earlier this year, five women accused the author of sexual assault; their claims are detailed in a podcast titled Master: The Allegations Against Neil Gaiman. He has denied any wrongdoing but offered to step away from the final Good Omens to let the production go forward and conclude the story.
The streamer renewed Good Omens for a final season in December 2023. The show centers on the angel Aziraphale (Sheen) and demon Crowley (Tennant), who need to work together to avert Armageddon. The show began life as a limited series, but its success led to a renewal for a second season, which streamed in July 2023.
Rob Wilkins of Narrativia, representing Terry Pratchett’s estate, and BBC Studios Productions’ head of comedy Josh Cole will executive produce the final season/episode. Good Omens comes from Amazon MGM Studios, BBC Studios Productions and Narrativia.
Prime Video also has another Gaiman adaptation, Anansi Boys, on its roster. That show has completed production but doesn’t have a premiere date yet (it’s likely to be pushed into 2025). Both Anansi Boys and Good Omens were products of a first-look deal between Gaiman and Amazon; The Hollywood Reporter has asked for comment on the status of the deal.
