In an official statement (via The Hollywood Reporter), Gaiman laid out a rough outline for what awaits in season 3:
“I’m so happy finally to be able to finish the story Terry and I plotted in 1989 and in 2006. Terry was determined that if we made ‘Good Omens’ for television, we could take the story all the way to the end. Season one was all about averting Armageddon, dangerous prophecies and the End of the World. Season two was sweet and gentle, although it may have ended less joyfully than a certain Angel and Demon might have hoped. Now in season three, we will deal once more with the end of the world. The plans for Armageddon are going wrong. Only Crowley [David Tennant] and Aziraphale [Martin Sheen] working together can hope to put it right. And they aren’t talking.”
Yes, just like in the real world, preventing the end of the world in “Good Omens” isn’t so much a one-and-done operation as it is a full-time job that you have to keep plugging away at. This shouldn’t come as a surprise either, seeing as season 2 concluded with Aziraphale being escorted to Heaven by its top-ranking angel, The Metatron (Derek Jacobi), who proceeded to tease his plans for the future, including (most ominously) the Second Coming. Thankfully, production on season 3 is slated to begin in Scotland shortly, so we shouldn’t have to wait too long to learn what fate ultimately has in store for the Ineffable Husbands.
Beyond Sheen and Tennant, it’s currently unclear which previous “Good Omens” cast members will be returning for the show’s final outing (much less which newcomers will be joining them). /Film will keep you updated as we await season 3’s arrival on Prime Video.
