Good Omens is a British fantasy comedy television series created by Neil Gaiman based on his and Terry

Pratchett's 1990 novel. A co-production between Amazon MGM Studios and BBC Studios, the series was
directed by Douglas Mackinnon, with Gaiman also serving as showrunner. Michael Sheen and David
Tennant lead a large ensemble cast that also includes Jon Hamm, Miranda Richardson, Michael McKean,
Derek Jacobi, Brian Cox, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Frances McDormand as the voice of God, who
narrates the series.

Like the novel, Good Omens features various Christian themes and figures and follows various
characters all trying to either encourage or prevent an imminent Armageddon, seen through the eyes of
the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley.

All episodes of the first series were released on Amazon Prime Video on 31 May 2019, and aired weekly
on BBC Two in the UK between 15 January and 19 February 2020. Although the show's first series was
conceived and marketed as a limited series, it was renewed for a second series in June 2021; Sheen and
Tennant returned, along with most of the cast and crew. The second series was released in its entirety
on Amazon Prime Video on 28 July 2023. Good Omens was renewed for its third and final series in
December 2023.

Since its release, the series has been well received among critics, with praise going towards particularly
for Sheen and Tennant's performances, faithfulness to its source material, and David Arnold's musical
score, earning him two Primetime Emmy Awards nominations for Outstanding Music Composition and

Original Main Title Theme.
