Crowley And Aziraphale Are Closer Than Ever In Good Omens Season 2

“He spends a lot of time in the book shop,” Tennent tells SFX magazine. “He only has one friend. He can only have one friend.” As Sheen notes elsewhere in the interview, the pair aren’t exactly on the run, but aren’t off the radar of the powers that be in heaven and hell either. When Tennant notes that the pair are “kind of free agents” these days, Sheen says they’re also semi-fugitives. “They are sort of in-between. But this amazing life they have created over a millennia, they are now able to enjoy in a slightly different way,” he explains.

The pair might be retired from their jobs working for the big men upstairs (and downstairs), but that freedom leads to a dependence on one another that perhaps feels different than what they’ve known in all their previous centuries of coexistence. “That is the great liberation, and also the great prison, that they find themselves in,” Tennant says after noting that Aziraphale is Crowley’s only friend. “They have no one else. They have come to rely on each other more than they ever did. And more than they care to admit.”
