Good omens Season 3 has been greenlit by Amazon Prime Video, but the final season will be very different. Good omens is based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and follows the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (David Tennant), who have developed a unique relationship over the centuries they spent on Earth. Instead of following the mission they were ordered to do, the pair put their differences aside to try to prevent the end of the world.
Good omens Season 1 was based on the novel, and it was speculated that Season 2 was based on a sequel that was never published. However, Gaiman has since said that the planned sequel was not the second season and would instead be used to Good omens season 3. It’s unclear where those plans currently lie, and the sexual assault allegations against Gaiman have caused the scribe to step away from the project. This also radically changed the approach Good omens season 3, and instead of multiple episodes, the season will consist of one feature-length story.
The latest news on Good Omens season 3
The third season will begin filming in January 2025
With several major changes imminent in the show’s next “season,” the latest news confirms when Good omens will start shooting again. Delayed by recent sexual assault allegations against author Neil Gaiman, it was announced in October 2024 that season 3 would be reduced to a single, large-scale episode. Now, Archangel Michael actor Doon Mackichan has announced (via Instagram) that filming begins in January 2025. Mackichan’s post not only announces the filming start time, but also confirms that Michael will be in the final episode.
Filming was scheduled to begin in January 2025, but the pause in production likely threw off the schedule. Mackichan’s latest post means the schedule hasn’t changed much, and the fact that season three has been shortened means it could arrive even sooner than expected. However, no release window has been announced yet.
Good Omens Season 3 Production Status
Filming begins in early 2025
Amazon Prime Video wasted no time in renewing the show for a third season and also confirmed that season 3 would be the last. At this time, no release schedule has been established, but all indications suggest that it will be a long time before Season 3 of Good omens he arrives. In April 2024, Neil Gaiman revealed that he was writing season 3 and that filming was expected to begin in January 2025. However, accusations of sexual assault against Gaiman caused Prime Video to halt development in September 2024.
Gaiman has since left the project and Prime Video has announced that Good omens season 3 would consist of a single 90-minute episode to wrap up the story. Production is still scheduled to begin in January 2025, but no timeline is known beyond that. It’s unclear when Prime Video expects to release the final “season” and the release window is unknown.

Good Omens Season 3 Story Details
Crowley and Aziraphale’s final mission
With Aziraphale and Crowley at odds, the supernatural power couple are tasked with saving the world, even if they can’t get along.
THE Good omens The story of Season 3 was created during the last few minutes of Season 2. It was a moment that turned the entire series upside down and transformed Good omens from light-hearted fun to drama that broke viewers’ hearts. Most of season two saw Crowley and Aziraphale helping Gabriel, who came to Earth to find Beelzebub, someone he secretly loved. However, this story really showed what Good omens it’s really about. That’s it a show about the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley finally admitting their love for each other.
Neil Gaiman teased the plot of Good omens 3rd season and the end of the world is imminent again. With Aziraphale and Crowley at odds, the supernatural power couple are tasked with saving the world, even if they can’t get along. Good omens Season 3 will have everything the previous two seasons had, but with even higher stakes, as the romance between Aziraphale and Crowley takes a backseat to another Armageddon scenario. It’s unclear how the plan to shorten the season by one episode will affect the story, but we’ll likely come to the same conclusion.
