Good omens The filming plan for season 3 was revealed by one of the series’ stars, who confirmed his return in the upcoming series finale. Good omens The 3rd season was announced in December 2023, expected to end the story of the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (David Tennant). However, in October 2024, after creator Neil Gaiman stepped aside amid allegations of sexual assault, it was decided that the final season would consist of a 90-minute series finale. This episode will resolve the series’ ongoing plot and bring a curtain call for its characters.
Now, Good omens star Don Mackichanwho plays the Archangel Michael, announced that he will return to film the series finale. In an Instagram post highlighting her BAFTA win for Best Actress in Glasgow, she confirmed that she would be filming Good omens season 3 in January 2025. With production beginning early next year, that means it won’t be long before more details about how the show will end in just one episode are revealed. Check out Mackichan’s post below:
What Doon Mackichan Filming Confirmation Means for Good Omens Season 3
Main characters will return with Aziraphale and Crowley
Mackichan’s return as Michael makes sense considering Good omens season 2 ended with Metatron (Derek Jacobi) recruiting Aziraphale back to heaven to help bring about the Second Coming. Other angels and demons will also return, playing important roles in the apocalyptic events that are about to unfold. Their return also indicates more important roles for the series’ angels, no doubt trying to work towards bringing about the apocalypse despite the interference their lives have had following the events of the series thus far.
Although it is still unclear how many actors in the cast of Good omens will reprise their roles, it wouldn’t be surprising if most of them returned to finish the series. However, if the plan really is to end the series with just one more episode, It’s unclear how much more development everyone will have before the show ends. While there isn’t enough time to distribute evenly among its characters, it’s a good sign that Mackichan is returning, indicating that everyone will still be present despite the new limitations.
Our Take on Good Omens Season 3 Production Start Date Revealed
Could indicate a launch in 2025
If Good omens season three actually ends up consisting of just one episode, so Mackichan’s confirmation for when production begins could mean a 2025 release date. While it’s unclear whether that will actually be the case, it’s possible that Prime Video is planning to end the series as quickly as possible, especially now that Gaiman is no longer involved. But with the show still a few months away from production, the certainty of how it will all end won’t be clear for some time.
