Olivia-Anne Cleary Guest Contributor Following the success of its premiere offering, “Good Omens” has returned to Prime Video for a second season, and the four-year wait between courses has done little to wane fans’ excitement. The first season was based on the hit 1990 novel “Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch,” by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. The prolific writers had long discussed ideas for a sequel, yet nothing had been fully realized at the time of Pratchett’s death in 2015.

Naman Ramachandran Prime Video has unveiled a trailer for the second season of “Good Omens,” starring Michael Sheen, David Tennant and Jon Hamm. Originally based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s bestselling novel, “Good Omens 2” goes beyond the source material to illuminate the unique friendship between Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), a fussy angel and rare-book dealer and the fast-living demon Crowley (David Tennant). The duo are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho until the archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) turns up unexpectedly at the door of Aziraphale’s bookshop with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Reprising their roles are Doon Mackichan as archangel Michael and Gloria Obianyo as archangel Uriel. Returning this season in new roles are Miranda Richardson as demon Shax, Maggie Service as Maggie and Nina Sosanya as Nina, with new faces joining the misfits in Heaven and Hell: Liz Carr as angel Saraqael, Quelin Sepulveda as angel Muriel and Shelley Conn as demon Beelzebub.

It’s been nearly 3½ years since Good Omens debuted on Prime Video, and finally we a premiere date for Season 2 — sort of. Amazon Studios said at New York Comic Con today that the show’s long-delayed sophomore season will arrive in the summer.
