Good Omens is a television television series based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

The series stars an ensemble cast led by David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Adria Arjona, Jack Whitewall, Jon Hamm and Frances McDormand as the voice of God.

- Jon Hamm as the Archangel Gabriel, the leader of the forces of Heaven. While Gabriel was only mentioned once in the original novel, his role was meant to be expanded in the never-finished sequel to Good Omens, so Gaiman incorporated parts of the plot of the planned sequel regarding the role of the angels into the TV series' plot.[1] In the novel, the leader of the forces of Heaven was the Metatron.

- Anna Maxwell Martin as Beelzebub, the leader of the forces of Hell.
- Josie Lawrence as Agnes Nutter, a witch living in the 17th century who predicted the events in her book The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the only accurate book of prophecies ever written.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | "In the Beginning" | Douglas Mackinnon | Neil Gaiman | May 31, 2019 | |
Aziraphale, an angel and former guardian of Eden, and Crowley, the demon who tempted Adam and Eve, are the respective representatives of Heaven and Hell on Earth; both have grown fond of earthly life and have formed an alliance to complete various blessings and temptations whenever the other may require them. Crowley is ordered to deliver the infant Antichrist to a hospital overseen by the Chattering Order of St. Beryl, a group of Satanic nuns. Two families are present at the hospital: the Dowlings, an American diplomat and his wife intended to receive the Antichrist; and the middle-class Youngs; the nuns inadvertently place the child with the Youngs. The demon Hastur, believing the baby to be with the Dowlings, dissolves the order; when the nuns protest, Hastur sets the hospital on fire. Aziraphale and Crowley, both reluctant to facilitate Armageddon, hope to influence the child, whom the Dowlings name Warlock, in equal heavenly and hellish measures such that he becomes normal; they travel to the Dowlings' house and take on two different aliases to sway Warlock, ostensibly destined to receive a hell hound and his full power on his eleventh birthday. The two lie to their respective leaders, archangel Gabriel and head demon Beelzebub. On Warlock's eleventh birthday, Aziraphale and Crowley wait at the boy’s party for the hell hound to arrive. When the hound does not arrive, they realize they have the wrong boy. The hellhound locates the Antichrist, Adam Young, and, conforming to the wishes of Adam, transforms into the form of a small dog. Adam names the hound Dog, initiating the countdown to Armageddon, to Aziraphale and Crowley's chagrin. | |||||
2 | "The Book" | Douglas Mackinnon | Neil Gaiman | May 31, 2019 | |
The forces of Heaven and Hell still do not know about Aziraphale and Crowley’s true plan. Meanwhile, the summoner (a postman) is given the task of informing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: first War, then Famine, then Pollution (who replaced Pestilence), and finally Death. American Anathema Device (the descendant of a burned witch Agnes Nutter) arrives in England. Meanwhile, Newton Pulsifer (the descendant of a witch burner and Agnes’ killer) meets Shadwell, a modern day witch finder, who invites him to join his crusade. He also meets Madame Tracy, a harlot and medium and landlord of Shadwell. Aziraphale and Crowley go to the nunnery to figure out what went wrong in the switch. However all the records have been destroyed because Crowley’s fellow demons burned the nunnery. Adam and his friends later meet Anathema and are befriended by Anathema who lives nearby. Aziraphale and Crowley have a run-in with Anathema and accidentally take her book. Aziraphale reads the book at his bookshop, noticing the accuracy of her prophecies, which include the location and name of the Antichrist, Adam Young. | |||||
3 | "Hard Times" | Douglas Mackinnon | Neil Gaiman | May 31, 2019 | |
The episode begins with a series of historical and biblical events that Aziraphale and Crowley have witnessed and experienced and how their friendship grew, including Aziraphale robbing a church for Crowley to prevent the latter's death. Among these events are Noah’s Ark, King Arthur, World War II, the French Revolution, the Crucifixion of Jesus, and meeting William Shakespeare. In present day, Adam comforts Anathema after she loses her book. Both Aziraphale and Crowley separately send Shadwell to find Adam. Shadwell later sends Newton there to investigate. Aziraphale tries to tell Gabriel and the forces of Heaven about the Antichrist switch up, but they do not seem to care and later cast suspicion on him. Meanwhile, Adam mysteriously makes a nuclear reactor disappear from an air base because of what Anathema told him. | |||||
4 | "Saturday Morning Funtime" | Douglas Mackinnon | Neil Gaiman | May 31, 2019 | |
Things that Adam has read about and been told by Anathema become true like the reappearance of the Lost City of Atlantis, aliens arriving, and the Kraken appearing. Aziraphale tries to convince Gabriel to prevent the war, but he refuses. Gabriel also learns he has been consulting with Crowley. Meanwhile, Newton soon arrives in Adam’s hometown Tadfield. His car crashes injuring him and causing Adam and his friends to bring him to Anathema’s house to heal up. He reveals to her that Adam is the Antichrist. Adam starts showing signs of being the Antichrist worrying his friends. He eventually does not allow them to leave his sight. Two of Crowley's fellow demons find out he lied about finding the real Antichrist and go after him. He manages to kill one with holy water and trap another one, but he later escapes. Aziraphale later consults the Metatron and tries to convince him to prevent the war, but he too agrees it is a good thing. Shadwell arrives in Aziraphale’s bookshop convinced he is in league with the witches and demons and tries to exorcise him, but ends up separating him from his mortal body and sending him up to Heaven. Shadwell also accidentally burns down the bookshop. | |||||
5 | "The Doomsday Option" | Douglas Mackinnon | Neil Gaiman | May 31, 2019 | |
Crowley becomes deeply distraught to find Aziraphale's bookshop in flames and no sign of him leading him to believe he has "lost his best friend." Meanwhile, Aziraphale is discorporated from his physical body. He is able to tell Crowley that he placed information about the Antichrist in the Agnes Nutter's book which Crowley salvaged from the bookshop. Aziraphale co-inhabits Madame Tracy's body. With Shadwell, they head to the military base in Tadfield to meet with Crowley. Adam comes to his power, but he frightens off his friends. Upset over his friends leaving him, Adam comes back to himself not fully remembering. He and his friends also head to the military base. At the military base, the Four Horsemen have taken over the classified communications hub from which they gain control of all the world's systems. | |||||
6 | "The Very Last Day of the Rest of Their Lives" | Douglas Mackinnon | Neil Gaiman | May 31, 2019 | |
Adam's friends defeat the Four Horsemen, except for Death. Beelzebub and Gabriel come to Earth to have Adam start Armageddon in accordance with the Great Plan, yet Adam refuses. Aziraphale and Crowley suggest to their respectful superiors that what they want may be part of the Great Plan, but perhaps not the Ineffable Plan. Both sides reluctantly stand down. Satan hears of Adam's refusal and comes up to Earth to destroy Adam. Adam confronts Satan, renouncing him as his father. Satan disintegrates just as Adam's earthly father arrives. Adam repairs the world to how it was before Armageddon started, including restoring Aziraphale's bookshop and Crowley's Bentley. Aziraphale and Crowley are tried by their respective peers for treason. They are found guilty and are sentenced to the most extreme punishment, Holy Water for Crowley and Satanic Fire for Aziraphale. Yet to everyone's shock, they both survive. Back on Earth, Aziraphale and Crowley switch back their outer appearances, which is why they were able to survive their sentences. |
Production
Development
Pratchett and Gaiman had planned to adapt Good Omens as a movie for years, with various directors and writers attached to the project at various times. In 2011, a television series, written by Terry Jones and Gavin Scott, was first reported to be in the works but no further plans were announced.[4] After Pratchett's death, Gaiman refused to ever consider working on the adaptation alone but changed his mind when he received a letter from Pratchett, written to be sent after his death, urging him to finish the project.[5]
On January 19, 2017, it was announced that Amazon Video had given a green-light to a television series adaptation of the novel to be co-produced with the BBC in the United Kingdom. Executive producers were set to include Gaiman, Caroline Skinner, Chris Sussman, Rob Wilkins, and Rod Brown. Gaiman was also set to adapt the novel for the screen and serve as showrunner for the series. Production companies involved with the series were slated to consist of BBC Studios, Narrativia, and The Blank Corporation. Distribution of the series was to be handled by BBC Worldwide.[6]
Casting
On August 14, 2017, it was announced that Michael Sheen and David Tennant had been cast in the lead roles of Aziraphale and Crowley, respectively.[7] On September 14, 2017, Gaiman revealed on Twitter that Nina Sosanya, Ned Dennehy, and Ariyon Bakare had joined the main cast.[8] A day later, Jack Whitehall, Michael McKean, Miranda Richardson, and Adria Arjona were announced as series regulars.[9] A week after that, Sam Taylor Buck, Amma Ris, Ilan Galkoff, Alfie Taylor, Daniel Mays, and Sian Brooke were also cast.[10] In October 2017, it was reported that Jon Hamm, Anna Maxwell Martin, Mireille Enos, Lourdes Faberes, and Yusuf Gatewood had joined the main cast.[11][12] In November 2017, it was reported that Reece Shearsmith and Nicholas Parsons had also been cast.[13][14] On 15 December 2017 it was reported that Derek Jacobi would voice the Metatron.[15]
On 9 February 2018 it was announced that Steve Pemberton and Mark Gatiss had joined the series.[16] On 6 March 2018, it was announced that Nick Offerman had been cast in a series regular role.[17] On 20 July 2018, it was announced during Amazon's San Diego Comic-Con panel that Frances McDormand had been cast as the voice of God as well as the series' narrator.[18] On 13 February 2019, Neil Gaiman announced that Benedict Cumberbatch will voice Satan with the character itself being a CGI creation.[19]
Filming
Principal photography on the series began in September 2017, with Gaiman tweeting a picture of Tennant and Sheen in costume on set.[20] In October 2017, the production was spotted filming in Surrey.[21] Gaiman revealed at the New York Comic Con 2018 panel that they used a Bentley 1934 model, unlike the 1929 model mentioned in the book. This was due to the authors' lack of research on cars at the time of writing the book, and the 1934 model was more the look the authors had in mind.[22] The series also filmed in St James's Park in London, Hambleden[23] in Buckinghamshire, and wrapped in March 2018 in Cape Town, South Africa.[24]
Release
The six-episodes of the series was released on Amazon Prime Video on May 31, 2019,[25] and will later broadcast weekly on BBC Two.[26]
Marketing
On October 6, 2018, the series held a panel at the annual New York Comic Con in New York City. The panel was moderated by Whoopi Goldberg and featured creator Neil Gaiman, director Douglas Mackinnon, and cast members Michael Sheen, David Tennant, Jon Hamm, and Miranda Richardson. During the panel, the first trailer for the series was premiered and subsequently released online.[27][28]
Reception
Good Omens has received generally positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 82% based on 60 reviews with an average score of 6.91 out of 10. The site's critical consensus is, "A smörgåsbord of heavenly imagery and irreverent hilarity, Good Omens works thanks to Michael Sheen and David Tennant's very-nearly-holy (or maybe unholy?) chemistry – though, at only six episodes long, it's a rare adaptation that may have benefited from being a little less faithful to the good book."[29] On Metacritic it has a score of 66% based on reviews from 19 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[30]
