Well, it\u2019s been a long wait, but finally Good Omens<\/a> season 2 is available on Prime Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second season of the hit fantasy show, based on Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett\u2019s 1990 novel of the same name, became available in full on Friday 28th July, with fans scrambling to watch the new adventures of David Tennant\u2019s Crowley and Michael Sheen\u2019s Aziraphale.<\/p>\n

The new season sees not only the central characters growing closer<\/a>, but also even more Easter eggs and references than in the first outing of the show.<\/p>\n

David Tennant recently revealed to\u00a0The Radio Times Podcast<\/a> that there were lots of referenced that he \u201cdidn\u2019t even get<\/a>\u201c.<\/p>\n

Tennant said: \u201cEvery now and then, Michael would tap me on the shoulder and go, \u2018Have you seen what\u2019s in this set? It\u2019s a reference to a film!\u2019 And I\u2019d be like, \u2018Ah, I don\u2019t know.\u2019 I\u2019ve got weird contact lenses in and I can\u2019t really see very much so you\u2019re just going to have to help me out.\u201d<\/p>\n

But now that the second season has wrapped up, what are the chances that we will get to see a third? Read on for everything you need to know about Good Omens season 3.<\/p>\n

Will there be a Good Omens season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It hasn\u2019t yet been officially confirmed whether Good Omens will get a third season, but the cast and creatives have certainly suggested that there is still more story to be told.<\/p>\n

Neil Gaiman has revealed that the season 2 has been written to act as the connective tissue<\/a> between the first season, which adapted the story told in the 1990 novel Good Omens, and a sketched out plot for a sequel story which he developed with the late Sir Terry Pratchett.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cBecause the hypothetical season 3 exists, there is a story that is there, and I didn\u2019t feel that we could drive straight from season 1 into that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Maggie Service, who plays a\u00a0new character called Maggie<\/a> in season 2, has made clear that the ending of the season certainly does not feel like the overall end<\/a> of the story.<\/p>\n

She told RadioTimes.com<\/a>: \u201cWhere we end, I think, is so beautifully written because none of it\u2019s tied up in a bow, none of it\u2019s Hollywood magic. It\u2019s real within fantasy \u2013 and what is going to happen next?\u201d<\/p>\n

Given all of this, it certainly seems like a third season could be on the cards for Sheen and Tennant\u2019s Aziraphale and Crowley. We\u2019ll keep this page updated once we get any official word on the future of the series.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When would Good Omens season 3 be released?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s hard to say exactly when a third season of Good Omens would be released. The second season is arriving four years after the first, which debuted in 2019, but there were some clear reasons for the delay.<\/p>\n

For starters, the show wasn\u2019t officially renewed until mid-2021, likely in part because Gaiman had to decide upon a story to follow up the one told in his and Pratchett\u2019s original novel.<\/p>\n

Now, comparatively, it seems he already knows the basics of where a third season would go.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the matter of the pandemic, which may well have delayed things further.<\/p>\n

Depending on the cast\u2019s schedules and the speed at which the show is renewed, it seems likely that the earliest we could get a third season of Good Omens would be late 2024<\/strong> \u2013 although 2025<\/strong> may be more likely.<\/p>\n

We will keep this page updated once any further news is announced.<\/p>\n

Good Omens cast \u2013 who would be back for season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If Good Omens were to return, then we certainly can\u2019t imagine it coming back with Michael Sheen as Aziraphale and David Tennant and Crowley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, beyond the central duo, it\u2019s hard to know who of the Good Omens cast<\/a> could be back for a third season. The second season saw a major cast shake-up, with some stars returning, others leaving, some staying on but in different roles, and some new cast members joining.<\/p>\n

The most likely returnees would seem to be Jon Hamm as Gabriel and Shelley Conn as Beelzebub (although even they are uncertain after Conn took over the role from Anna Maxwell Martin).<\/p>\n

For now, here\u2019s a list of the season 2 cast members who we could theoretically see back for season 3:<\/p>\n
