Good Omens, based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, was one of the best and most popular fantasy TV series of the last few years. The authors had planned a sequel, but unfortunately Pratchett died before they could work on it. However, there is some good news to report about Good Omens – there will be a sequel TV series.
Gaiman revealed the news on his online journal on Tuesday.
I'd been a fan of John Finnemore's for years, and had had the joy of working with him on a radio show called With Great Pleasure, where I picked passages I loved, had amazing readers read them aloud and talked about them.
So that's the plan. We've been keeping it secret for a long time (mostly because otherwise my mail and Twitter feeds would have turned into gushing torrents of What Can You Tell Us About It? long ago) but we are now at the point where sets are being built in Scotland (which is where we're shooting, and more about filming things in Scotland soon), and we can't really keep it secret any longer.
There are so many questions people have asked about what happened next (and also, what happened before) to our favourite Angel and Demon. Here are, perhaps, some of the answers you've been hoping for.
As Good Omens continues, we will be back in Soho, and all through time and space, solving a mystery which starts with one of the angels wandering through a Soho street market with no memory of who they might be, on their way to Aziraphale's bookshop.
There's much more about the genesis of the series in Gaiman's post. I am very much looking forward to seeing it.
