Are you ready for more nice and accurate prophecies of Agnes Nutter, witch?<\/p>\n

Amazon has announced that they will be bringing Good Omens<\/em>, the series based off o the book of the same name by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant, back for a second season. Gaiman will return to once again executive produce and co-showrun alongside executive producer Douglas Mackinnon. (Pratchett passed away in 2015.)<\/p>\n

The first season adapted Gaiman and Pratchett’s comic story of how an angel and a demon (Sheen and Tennant respectively) who have been on Earth since the Creation, team up to stop Armageddon from happening.<\/p>\n

If you’ve read the novel, then you know that the first series pretty much adapted the book in full. So where does that leave a second season in terms of story? Well, according to Gaiman, the pair had mapped out a sequel to Good Omens<\/em> while sharing a hotel room at the 1989 World Fantasy Convention in Seattle, months before the book was published. As he writes on his site<\/a> –<\/p>\n

[W]e lay in our respective beds and having nothing else to do, we plotted the sequel to Good Omens. It was a good one, too. We fully intended to write it, whenever we next had three or four months free. Only I went to live in America and Terry stayed in the UK, and after Good Omens was published Sandman became SANDMAN and Discworld became DISCWORLD\u2122 and there wasn’t ever a good time. But we never forgot it.<\/p>\n

It’s been 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 the TV series version of Good Omens — that’s where our angels came from.)<\/p>\n

Terry was clear on what he wanted from Good Omens on the telly. He wanted the story told, and if that worked, he wanted the rest of the story told.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Filming is set to start later this year in Scotland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
