Who is in the Good Omens season 2 cast? Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, Good Omens was a hit when the first season released in 2019. Full of wisecracks, unbelievable magic, and apocalyptic action, the adaptation charmed us all and left fans begging for more.
Good Omens is one of the best fantasy series in years and follows the unlikely friendship between the demon Crowley (David Tennant) and the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen). They’ve lived on Earth since the beginning of time and, over the centuries, developed a bond and a soft spot for their mortal home – which becomes a problem when Armageddon arrives. The two join forces to foil both Heaven and Hell’s plan and stop the world from crumbling to the Antichrist.
There were plenty of unanswered questions, and the return of one of the best TV series based on Gaiman’s books was high anticipated. We’ve got the rundown on the Good Omens season 2 cast, plot, reviews, and more.
Good Omens season 2 cast
David Tennant and Michael Sheen returned as Crowley and Aziraphale, respectively, for Good Omens season 2. This makes sense, since we can’t have Good Omens without our main devil and angel, can we?
Jon Hamm made an appearance as the Archangel Gabriel again, too (yay). Unfortunately, not every familiar face is coming back: Benedict Cumberbatch is out for season 2, and Frances McDormand won’t reprise her role as the show’s narrator, God.
The Good Omens season 2 cast list includes:
- David Tennant as Crowley
- Michael Sheen as Aziraphale
- Derek Jacobi as Metatron
- Mark Gatiss as Harmony
- Steve Pemberton as Glozier
- Reece Shearsmith as William Shakespeare
- Quelin Sepulveda as Muriel
- Niamh Walsh as Greta Kleinschmidt
- Siân Phillips as Mrs Henderson
- Tim Downie as Mr Brown
- Pete Firman as Pat
- Andi Osho as Sitis
- Alex Norton as Tulloch
- Ty Tennant as Ennon
- Peter Davison as Job
What happens in Good Omens season 2?
Good Omens season 2 sees Crowley and Aziraphale reunite to deal with Gabriel, who’s gone missing from Heaven. Unfortunately for the devilish duo, they become the prime suspects in his disappearance when the Archangel turns up in Crowley’s bookshop.
As both angels and demons try and work out what happened to Gabriel (who appears to have lost a few of his marbles), Crowley and Aziraphale must try and find out who set them up before it’s too late.
Good Omens season 2 looks at the backstory of the angels as well, using ideas Gaiman and Pratchett had from an unpublished sequel. We won’t spoil it, but it’s quite devilish in our opinion.
Is there a Good Omens season 2 trailer?
The Good Omens season 2 trailer was released on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, and it’s absolutely heavenly. The short teaser sets up Crowley and Aziraphale’s reunion as well as Gabriel’s (Jon Hamm) disappearance from Heaven. Where’s he gone? Well, you’ll have to watch below to find out.
