Good Omens: the final season will only be one episode!

The accusations against Neil Gaiman got the better of season 3 of the Prime Video series.

The biblical saga of Aziraphale and Crowley will have a rushed ending. The third and final season of Good Omens will only have one episode! A long 90-minute episode, to complete the great story of the two angels imagined by Neil Gaiman And Terry Pratchett. In short, the final season of Good Omens was replaced by a concluding TV movie.

And we understand that it was almost canceled outright after the accusations against Gaiman, producer and showrunner of the series. In a podcast, published at the beginning of July, the fantasy author was accused by a 23-year-old woman of having sexually assaulted her a few hours after their first meeting, in her residence in New Zealand, where she worked as a nanny for his child. A second accuser says she was 18 when she met Gaiman at a book signing, before beginning a relationship with him at age 20, during which she subjected herself to sexual intercourse. brutal and painful” that she “neither wanted nor appreciated”.

Neil Gaiman denies. And to protect the end of Good Omenshe announced at the beginning of September that he was withdrawing from the production of season 3. We know that he contributed to the writing of the final episode but he will therefore not work on the production.

The filming of the grand finale of Goom Omens is now expected to begin in 2025, with the return of Michael Sheen And David Tennant.

A final film that is close to the heart of Neil Gaimanas it will concretize a discussion he had 35 years ago with the late Terry Pratchett, where they planned together “what will happen next“to the characters in their novel.”I'm so happy to finally be able to finish the story that Terry and I planned back in 1989 and 2006” Gaiman said last year.

Broadcast expected in 2026 on Prime Video
