Like the second season of Prime Videos Good omens approaches, the hints of a possible romance between Crowley and Aziraphale only get stronger.

In the first season of the British fantasy comedy based on the novel by The Sandman‘s Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, viewers watched as David Tennant’s chaotic demon Crowley formed a surprising bond with the fastidious and honest angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen).

With the threat of Armageddon and the collapse of the universe imminent, the unlikely duo had a lot to contend with.

Viewers were hooked on the overarching plot, desperate to see if the Divine Plan would go to… well, plan. Still, it was the relationship between Crowley and Aziraphale that took a certain part of the Good omens fandom all worked up.

Since the release of the first season in 2019, the series has built an unwavering LGBTQ+ fan base, with over 40,000 fanfictions based on the two characters that are published on fan site Archive Of Our Own.

So while there was disappointment that the two never became more than heaven and hell counterparts in season one, the queer fandom never lost hope. As season two rolls around on July 28, the demand for a romance between Crowley and Aziraphale has run its course.

The actors behind the series also add fuel to the fire. Speaking The Radio Times podcastTennant explained that he sees the pair as “the yin to each other’s yang” — perhaps a sneaky way of suggesting they’re perfect for each other.

“In terms of what exactly the relationship between Crowley and Aziraphale is, I think they both see it very differently, and they both interpret it in different ways. And they would certainly have different ways of describing it objectively,” he explained.

“But I do think they help each other to understand each other, and the series is kind of a journey where they get closer and closer, actually through circumstances.”

Expanding further, he went on to say that he is very aware of how the fandom perceives the duo, but feels inclined not to “second guess” the nature of the relationship by “defining it.”

“So I think you’re enjoying this beautiful creation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, these two characters that they conjured up and just… it’s a pleasure to hang out with each other. It’s certainly a joy to play, and hopefully it’s a joy to watch too,” he added. “Besides, define us as you want!”

Unfortunately, Tennant’s comments are nothing like concrete evidence of a relationship between the two. But since the first season, fans have built up a bank of receipts that indicate the pair are in a romantic relationship.

Last month, the Good omensofficial season two trailer dropped, with a very small hint at what could be on the horizon.

There’s the promise that Crowley and Aziraphale will return to their “easy life among mortals” in London before the arrival of Archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) shakes things up. Gabriel is naked and has no idea how he ended up on the steps of Aziraphale’s bookshop, meaning “easy life” gets very, very complicated.

Among the chaos, there’s a moment in the trailer that sent fans into a tailspin – when Gabriel told Aziraphale, “You know what it’s like when you don’t know anything at all, and yet you’re utterly certain that everything would be better if you were just around one particular person.”

At that point, the trailer cuts to Crowley and Aziraphale smiling at each other, glasses of wine in hand. That’s a connection, okay.

And when a fan asked Michael Sheen how he would describe the second season earlier this month, Sheen gave this interesting answer: “MAGICSHOWGIRLZOMBIBLEAUSTENDERISTHEGRAVERROMANTIRACULOUS.”

There are a lot of words in it, but fans grabbed one in particular: Romantiraculous (or, romantic plus wonderful).

While some fans seem to have taken the tweet as confirmation of a strange romance, there’s reason to be skeptical. The official Prime Video synopsis of the second series teases Crowley and Aziraphale for “trying to fix a human romance”, which results in “things becoming increasingly unsafe for them”.

Whether the alien duo will fare well during season two remains to be seen, but fans have their fingers – and everything else – firmly crossed.

Good omens season two arrives on Prime Video on July 28. Season one is now available to stream.
