Good Omens Season 2 - what we know so far
(I shall update the post as new info emerges)
Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman started planning sequel to the book in 1989 - even before it has been published. But because they careers took off and they had an ocean in the between them, it was never realized it in the 90s. In 2005 they made another plans to write in a year or so but in 2007 Terry was diagnosed with Alzheimer so again the the plans did not come into fruition.
Neil is taking what he planned with Terry and is co-writing the second season of the show with John Finnemore, a british comedy writer and actor.
How long has it been in the making:
Neil said that they stared planning it three (!!!) years ago. That means in 2018, a year before the first season came out.
The casting begun 15 months ago (!) - so in March 2020 but it still seems to be in progress - with Suzanne Smith as the casting director :).
Writing: Neil Gaiman and co-writer John Finnemore.
Showrunners: Neil Gaiman and Douglas Mackinnon (who directed and executive produced the first season) are going to co-showrun.
Executive producers: Neil Gaiman, Douglas Mackinnon, Rob Wilkins, John Finnemore and Josh Cole (BBC Studios Productions’ Head of Comedy).
Music: David G. Arnold, the music composer for S1 is returning.
Actors: The only actors confirmed so far have been David Tennant and Michael Sheen.
Production: BBC Studios Productions, Amazon Studios, Narrativia and The Blank Corporation
When and where does the filming takes place:
The filming will begin later this year. The entire second season will be shot in Scotland.
There will be six episodes.
From Neil’s blog: 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, perhaps, some of the answers you’ve been hoping for. As Good Omens continues, we will be back in Soho, and all through time and space, solving a mystery which starts with one of the angels wandering through a Soho street market with no memory of who they might be, on their way to Aziraphale’s bookshop. (Although our story actually begins about five minutes before anyone had got around to saying “Let there be Light”.)
From Neil’s instagram: Game on! There are mysteries, histories, secrets revealed and Something Too Terrible To Be Revealed on the way. Also a cardboard box.
From the BBC website: The new season will explore storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the uncanny friendship between Aziraphale, a fussy angel and rare book dealer, and the fast-living demon Crowley. Having been on Earth since The Beginning and with the Apocalypse thwarted, Aziraphale and Crowley are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho when an unexpected messenger presents a surprising mystery.
Not much info yet, but it seems that after the Flop-Apocalypse Crowley and Aziraphale are back to their nice life amongst the mortals when an amnesiac angel appears in Soho. There will be mysteries and we will again visit the past - even before ‘Let there be Light’ (fingers crossed for more Aziraphale and Crowley through history and the angel Crowley :))). There will also be something called ‘Something Too Terrible To Be Revealed’ which sounds very ominous and also a cardboard box is important.
Also, the unwritten sequel was supposed to be called ‘668: The Neighbour of the Beast’ and after the end the boys were supposed to share a cottage in South Downs :).
