Every Day a 'Good Omens' Season 3 Renewal Appears to Be Getting Closer

Despite the fact that the second season of Good Omens was a hit with both critics and fans when it premiered back in July, Prime Video, for some inexplicable and incomprehensible reason, has thus far refused to officially announce the series' renewal. This is doubly devastating given the fact that Season 2 ends on a soul-destroying emotional cliffhanger, and all anyone who's a fan of the show wants at this point is some kind of confirmation that we'll get to see the end of the story play out onscreen. (At this point, I'd probably take stars David Tennant and Michael Sheen doing the third season Staged-style if it meant I'd get some version of Crowley and Aziraphale's reunion. I suspect I'm not alone in that.)

Season 2, among other things, saw the subtextual romance between the angel Aziraphale (Sheen) and the demon Crowley (Tennant) finally become text on screen, ending with a desperate kiss between the pair and a painful separation. Desperate to change things Above, Aziraphale accepts a promotion to Supreme Archangel of Heaven and leaves Crowley behind when the demon refuses to return to the celestial realm with him. Between their heartbreaking goodbye and the looming threat of the Second Coming, things don't exactly end in a great place for our faves --- or the world at large.

But, there's plenty of reason for Good Omens fans to have faith. Neil Gaiman, who is both the showrunner and writer of the Prime Video series, as well as the man who wrote the book the show is based on alongside the late, great Terry Pratchett, said that he would have already been working on scripts for Season 3 had the summer's writer's strike not occurred, and has already picked up his pen again in the wake of its resolution. (Now it's time for a fair deal for the actors, just saying.)
