Amazon’s ‘Good Omens’ is sparking rumors of divine proportions. The beloved show, starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant, has set the rumor mill abuzz with hints of a third and final installment. Here’s everything we know about the highly-anticipated season that could bring closure to this celestial saga.
A Season in the Heavens?
“According to Deadline, Good Omens ‘is looking good to land a Season 3 renewal by Amazon and the BBC,’ with the idea being that season three will be ‘the show’s last chapter.'”
While nothing is officially confirmed, word on the heavenly grapevine suggests that ‘Good Omens’ is likely to be renewed for a third season by Amazon and the BBC. What makes this even more intriguing is that this could be the final chapter of the series. Michael Sheen, David Tennant, and the rest of the main cast have been “picked up” for what could be their last heavenly hurrah.
A Missing Archangel in the Ranks
But it’s not all good news in paradise. Douglas Mackinnon, the executive producer, director, and co-showrunner, revealed via social media that he’s bowing out of ‘Good Omens’.
“I’m not involved with this show anymore,” Mackinnon announced, while sharing an image from the set.
Fans had a celestial meltdown when they recognized the iconic ‘Good Omens’ setting in the background. With Mackinnon out, it’s worth speculating who will take over his celestial duties in the upcoming season.

The story of ‘Good Omens’ started by introducing us to Michael Sheen’s Aziraphale and David Tennant’s Crowley—an angel and a demon with a friendship lasting 6,000 years. Both celestial beings found themselves on Earth, working as emissaries for Heaven and Hell, and having to prevent an apocalypse.
“Having been on Earth since The Beginning, and with the Apocalypse thwarted, Aziraphale and Crowley are getting back to easy living among mortals in London’s Soho,” according to the show’s narrative.
What’s Cooking in the Celestial Cauldron for Season 3?
Neil Gaiman, the co-creator of the original novel, has been rather cryptic but did reveal some breadcrumbs for fans to munch on.
“Because the hypothetical season three exists, there is a story that is there, and I didn’t feel that we could drive straight from season one into that,” Gaiman teased.
Details remain scarce, but Gaiman assures fans that the roadmap for season three exists somewhere in the celestial ether. With Sheen and Tennant poised to return, and new challenges inevitably on the horizon, it’s bound to be one hell of a season.
A Streaming Paradise
For those yet to experience the joys and perils of this holy romp, both seasons one and two of ‘Good Omens’ are available to stream on Prime Video. Catch up now, because if the rumors are to be believed, the apocalypse—uh, we mean, the show—is nearing its end.
If you’re craving for more information, just like us, you’ll need to stay tuned for more updates on the potentially final season of ‘Good Omens’. So far, all signs point to a celestial bang rather than a divine whimper.
