‘Good Omens’ season 3 will have a ‘satisfying’ ending, according to Michael Sheen

The show's third season is still in development, but more updates should be coming soon.

By Joe Allen Published August 28, 2024

After two successful seasons, the cast and crew of Good Omens is getting ready for one final go-round. The show’s battle-turned-love affair between angel and demon Aziraphale, and Crowley will come to an end with season 3, which Prime Video announced when it offered the renewal.

Now, Michael Sheen, one of the show’s two stars, has offered an update on the forthcoming ending and when we might get a chance to see it.

“It’s still in development, but obviously I’m very excited to work with David [Tennant] again, and I love that character. I’m very excited about it,” Sheen said in an interview with TV Insider, explaining that they didn’t have a shooting schedule yet.

“One of the extraordinary things about being a part of [Good Omens] is the audience, the fans, the fandom of it,” he added. “You have to take it very seriously because people get really affected by it. And seeing how people reacted to the end of Season 2 was extraordinary. So yeah, I hope, and I’m sure, that Season 3 will be a satisfying experience for everyone.”

While love will certainly be on the brain for many of the show’s fans headed into this final season, we also know that Aziraphale and Crowley have to work together to avert armageddon, so they can’t spend all their time kissing. Filming for the show’s third season is set to begin sometime in early 2025, which means we could see the season toward the end of the year or early in 2026. Until then, fans will just have to rewatch the episodes we have.

Amanda Seyfried got the offer to play Gamora, but thought ‘Guardians’ would be a flop

She said she mulled the decision for several days before ultimately saying no.

Amanda Seyfried in The Dropout

Many, many actors have joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in one capacity or another, but one of the few holdouts is Amanda Seyfriend. The Mean Girls actress has now revealed, though, that James Gunn offered her the role of Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy, but she turned it down.

“I was really scared of the idea of being stuck and painted a different color because of the amount of time [it takes],” Seyfried said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “It was a giant opportunity. I had just met James in person. He is wonderful. Apparently someone said he didn’t remember but it’s definitely true. I definitely got the offer for it and I mulled over it for a couple days. I didn’t want to live in London for six months out of the year. There was another movie I really wanted to do with Seth MacFarlane called A Million Ways to Die in the West. It felt like a good opportunity.”

7 shows like The Sopranos for your next binge

These series all learned from HBO's best drama

The cast of The Sopranos

The Sopranos finds itself in a rare pop culture place right now. Most people know what the show is, whether you're a younger TV fan just getting into the HBO series or a veteran who is on their ninth rewatch in the last 25 years. It's a pioneering classic that is fresh and a relic of its time simultaneously. David Chase's crime drama about a mobster who goes to therapy during the day and kills capos at night brought an entirely new dimension to television that didn't exist before. The show broke barriers that other programs have tried to imitate, but very few have ever accomplished. On the other hand, the shows that have gone shot-for-shot with The Sopranos have improved upon some of the older, more outdated parts of the series.

Because The Sopranos was the original crime drama of the Golden Age of Television, it's not hard to compile a list of copycats. Simply boiling these successors down to their similarities to The Sopranos would be disrespectful, though. These shows like The Sopranos are some of the best TV series of all time and have won Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and more. Time to wake up this morning and get yourself a Sopranos-adjecent binge-watch.

John Lithgow doesn’t think playing Dumbledore will be ‘that hard a job’

The actor thinks it will be a good final chapter for his long career

John Lithgow in The Crown

The Harry Potter series has its Dumbledore, and John Lithgow is going to get a steady paycheck for the next decade. Lithgow, who is no stranger to playing legendary Brits both real and fictional, recently appeared on the SmartLess podcast to discuss the role, and suggested that he didn't think it would be a particular challenge.

"You know, Dumbledore, he's kind of this nuclear weapon," the actor said. "He only goes off very, very occasionally. And I don't think it's gonna be that hard a job."
