Good Omens 3: Final Season Production Reportedly On Pause
Reports are production on the third and final season of Prime Video's David Tennant and Michael Sheen-starring Good Omens has been paused.
When we last checked in on how things were looking with the third and final season of Prime Video's David Tennant and Michael Sheen-starring adaptation of Neil Gaiman & the late Sir Terry Pratchett's Good Omens, Sheen was sharing how he was "very excited" about getting back to filming the streaming series with Tennant and wrapping up the story for the fans. Now, Deadline Hollywood is reporting that production in Scotland has been paused – with DH adding from sources that "there are discussions about possible production changes."
A spokesperson for the production would not comment for DH's reporting. In July, Tortoise Media released the podcast Master: The Allegations Against Neil Gaiman, which included assault allegations against the author. Gaiman has denied the allegations.
Good Omens 3: David Tennant on Wrapping Series
Back in May of this year, while speaking with BAFTA Television Awards Red Carpet host Michelle Visage, Tennant had a few things to share about the upcoming third and final season. Asked about the status of the Prime Video series, Tennant reaffirmed at that time that a January 2025 filming start was still on track. When Visage joked that the final season would also bring an end to Sheen's kisses, Tennant responded by adding that there may be a few more on the way in Good Omens 3 – he just doesn't know quite yet: "Well, you don't know how many we've got lined up for Series Three. I mean, neither do I, to be honest."
As for what it's been like for him to film the series adaptation, Tennant spoke highly of the experience. "Deeply joyous. It's deeply joyous. I mean, mainly because I get to hang out with Michael [Sheen] every day. And talk nonsense, and they're great scripts, and it's just a brilliant, kind of mad, crazy world/ So, I love it, yeah," he explained. Here's a look at the BAFTA Television Awards Red Carpet livestream – with the interview with Tennant kicking in at around the 51:40 mark:
