What Does This Mean For Good Omens' Final Season?
When Audiences Can Expect To See Season 3 May Now Be In Question
Ever since the heartbreakingGood Omensseason 2 finale, fans have been eager to see whether Crowley and Aziraphale will find themselves reunited. With Michael Sheen’s angelic bookworm leaving his long-term companion behind to become Heaven’s new Supreme Archangel, many viewers felt thatthe show’s final season could not come fast enough. However, this latest news potentially comes as a bitter blow for those keen to see whether the show’s ineffable duo will overcome the odds stacked against them and enjoy their happily ever after.

Good Omens has a dedicated fanbase with a large group choosing to express their love for the series and its protagonists through cosplay.
At this stage, the exact scope and nature of the reported production changes are unclear. Similarly, there is also no direct confirmation that they are in any way related to the allegations currently surrounding the show’s creator and showrunner. As such, it may be premature to begin speculating about exactly what this move will mean for theGood Omensseason 3 release date. With filming initially planned for January 2025,it is even possible thatany proposed production changes may be finalized and implemented without any extended impact on the original schedule.
In the event Prime Video decides to distance work on season 3 from the show’s original creator, the streamer may also seek to lure back season 1 and 2 co-showrunner and director Douglas Mackinnon in Gaiman’s stead. Despite stating that he was no longer involved inGood Omensseason 3 in October last year,Mackinnon would likely be the natural choice to take over the showthat he helped to steer from its critically acclaimed 2019 debut. In the meantime, however, it is difficult to predict what impact this news will have on Crowley and Aziraphale’s final adventure.
