The 'Good Omens' Season 2 Premiere Date Is an Answer to a Prayer

Sometimes impossible things just happen and we call them miracles. That quote is technically from Doctor Who, but feels as though it might rightly be applied to the existence of a second season of Prime Video's Good Omens, something that by all rights probably shouldn't exist in the first place. After all, the series' critically acclaimed, generally perfect first season essentially used all the source material available in Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's beloved 1990 novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch.

But, well, the characters are technically immortal divine beings, so maybe we all shouldn't be but so surprised that their stories aren't over yet. Season 2 will reunite stars David Tennant and Michael Sheen as celestial odd couple Crowley and Aziraphale, one a caustic demon and the other a bookish angel. Having thwarted the apocalypse last season, what could possibly be next for them?

It's a mystery (ineffable?), but Gaiman has long said that he and Pratchett had discussed at some length what further adventures set in this universe might look like. (Some of those ideas were incorporated into the series' first season - the existence of Jon Hamm's officious angel Gabriel, for example - but others will undoubtedly be used in its second.)
