Major Characters Will Return With Aziraphale & Crowley
Mackichan’s return as Michael makes sense, consideringGood Omensseason 2 endedwithMetatron (Derek Jacobi) recruiting Aziraphale back into Heaven to help bring about the Second Coming. Other angels and demons are also bound to return, playing important roles in the apocalyptic events that are about to unfold. Her return also indicates more major roles for the angels in the series, no doubt trying to work to bring about the apocalypse despite the interference their lives have had following the show’s events up until now.

It’s all change at Good Omens season 3, but simply hitting a few key notes can ensure the continuation of season 2’s mind-bending success.
Although it’s still unclear how many actors from thecast ofGood Omensare going to reprise their roles, it wouldn’t be surprising if most returned to finish out the series. However, if the plan truly is to finish the show with just one more episode,it’s unclear how much more development everyone is going to have before the show comes to a close.

Our Take On Good Omens Season 3’s Production Start Date Reveal
It Could Indicate A 2025 Release
IfGood Omensseason 3 really ends up consisting of just one episode, then Mackichan’s confirmation for when production starts could mean a 2025 release date. While it’s unclear if this really will be the case, it’s possible Prime Video is planning to finish up the series as soon as possible, especially now that Gaiman is no longer involved. But, with the show’s production still a few months away, the surety of how everything will end won’t be clear for some time.
Gaiman is also a producer on Netflix’sThe Sandman, with season 2 expected in 2025.
