Earlier this year, author Neil Gaiman was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, which imperiled the renewal of his Prime Video series, Good Omens. The show had already been renewed for Season 3, and Gaiman offered to step aside in order to allow it to continue. Now, the fate of the series has been determined, and Good Omens’ final season has been condensed to a single episode.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series finale of Good Omens will be a 90 minute feature-length episode. The report also states that Gaiman will not be involved in the production of the show’s final episode, although he is said to have contributed to the script. The final episode will be filmed in Scotland early next year.
Good Omens is based on a novel of the same name by Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett. Former Doctor Who star David Tennant stars as Crowley, a demon who strikes up an unusual friendship with an angel, Aziraphale (Michael Sheen). Because Crowley and Aziraphale enjoy their lives on Earth, they worked together to stave off Armageddon.
Prior to the misconduct allegations, Gaiman signed a multi-year development deal with Prime Video. The status of that contract is unclear, but there’s at least one more Gaiman-produced show coming to the streamer. Anansi Boys, which is based on Gaiman’s novel, has already completed filming and it’s expected to premiere on Prime Video in 2025.
