Good Omens season 3 has been given a very positive update. The Prime Video series, which was created by Neil Gaiman, is based on the 1990 fantasy novel of the same name that he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett. Season 1 adapted the book, telling the story of the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (David Tennant) teaming up to prevent the rise of the Antichrist, while season 2 (which premiered on July 28) told a new original story set in the same universe.

As reported by TheWrap, Gaiman responded to fans’ queries about Good Omens season 3 on the social media app Bluesky. When he was asked “Now that the strikes is over, are you gonna to start writing Good Omens Season 3?” he simply responded, “Yes.” Another user asked the follow-up question “Has it been renewed for a Season 3?,” to which he said, “No, but I’ve been hired to write one.“

Is Good Omens Season 3 Going To Happen?

This update from Neil Gaiman doesn’t mean that Good Omens season 3 is guaranteed. Prime Video could very well pass on the scripts once Gaiman has submitted them for any number of reasons, be they creative, budgetary, or schedule-related. However, the fact that they are investing in the next step of the process is a very good sign.

At the very least, progress on season 3 is moving along considerably more quickly than it did for Good Omens season 2. That season wasn’t officially renewed until June 2021, more than two full years after season 1 debuted. This is likely due to the fact that the show was originally intended as a miniseries and also premiered shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down productions across the globe.

Because the scripts are currently being worked on, it seems likely that Prime Video will announce whether or not season 3 is renewed in a much timelier fashion. This confidence could be propelled by the fact that season 2 is drawing a similar amount of widespread critical goodwill as season 1, earning 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. If the season is officially renewed, the only remaining delays would be in reuniting the Good Omens cast and getting production off the ground, leading to what will likely be a much shorter turnaround between seasons.
