The Amazon Prime and BBC show Good Omenswas a miraculous miniseries that not only adapted Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s 1990 novel of the same, but also sparked new fans and reignited passions in old ones. The show, much like the book, follows a hedonistic angel named Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and a reluctantly noble demon named Crowley (David Tennant) who team up to save the world from an impending apocalypse. And though Pratchett died before a sequel was ever written, a second season of the show was announced in 2021.

Beyond notable cast members returning and Gaiman’s involvement, however, there has been little revealed about this mysterious follow-up. And at a New York Comic Con panel this year, Gaiman initially did not reveal much more.

“I will say there are some love stories in it,” Gaiman continued. “I will say you will learn a lot about Jane Austen you didn’t know before. There’s a lot more heaven and a lot more hell.”

Eventually, though, Gaiman, Mackinnon, and executive producer Rob Wilkins (longtime business manager and friend of Pratchett’s) did reveal that the second season is coming in the summer of 2023. And while they remained pretty mum about plot details, they did offer some new character details. On stage, they were joined by Maggie Service and Nina Sosanya, who played two of the nuns from the first season and will be playing two completely different characters in the second, along with new cast member Quelin Sepulveda, who will be joining in a role totally new to the Good Omens universe: an angel named Muriel.
