A new adventure for Azraphel and Crowley
Thefirst seasonofGood Omens, released worldwide in May 2019, was a huge success. Based on the novel of the same name written byNeil GaimanandTerry Pratchett, the episodes followed the story of the angelAzrapheland the demonCrowleystruggling with an impending apocalypse that they miraculously managed to prevent. But what will happen in thesecond season? Neil Gaiman said:
“It’s thirty-one years since ‘Good Omens’ was published, which means it’s thirty-two years since Terry Pratchett and I lay in our respective beds in a Seattle hotel room at a World Fantasy Convention, and plotted the sequel. I got to use bits of the sequel in Good Omens — that’s where our angels came from. Terry’s not here any longer, but when he was, we had talked about what we wanted to do with ‘Good Omens,’ and where the story went next.” And now, thanks to BBC Studios and Amazon, I get to take it there. I have enlisted some wonderful collaborators, and John Finnemore has come on board to carry the torch with me. 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 the answers you’ve been hoping for. We are back in Soho, and all through time and space, solving a mystery, which starts with an angel wandering through Soho, with no memory.”
