Will Good Omens season 3 actually be released? Finale episode explained

With filming now finished on the finale episode, Sheen recently told The Times: "I really don’t know what’s going to happen with it.

"We [Sheen and Tennant] were both relieved we finished the story, but that’s within this really difficult, complicated, disturbing context.

"I hope people get to see it, but that, to a large extent, is out of our hands."

Will Good Omens season 3 actually be released?

Yes, RadioTimes.com understands that Good Omens season 3 - the finale episode - will be released as previously announced, despite Sheen's comments.

The context that Sheen is presumably referring to involves author Gaiman.

Gaiman, co-author of Good Omens, exited the TV series after he was accused of sexual assault, which he has strongly denied. He contributed to writing the Good Omens finale but he did not work on the production and his production company Blank Corporation was not involved.

A total of nine women have spoken out against the writer, with their accusations being detailed in a Vulture article, published in January 2025, and in a Tortoise Media podcast, released in July 2024.

Allegations included claims that Gaiman engaged them in "rough" sex and BDSM without their consent. The novelist has firmly denied any non-consensual or illegal conduct in a statement.

He said: "As I read through this latest collection of accounts, there are moments I half-recognise and moments I don't, descriptions of things that happened sitting beside things that emphatically did not happen.

"I'm far from a perfect person, but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever."

Good Omens season 3 release date speculation

There's no confirmed release date for the Good Omens finale episode just yet, but we're not expecting it any earlier than late 2025/early 2026.

Filming wrapped on the finale episode earlier this year. In December 2023, Good Omens was officially renewed for season 3.

Amazon MGM Studios head of television said Vernon Sanders said: "The final season is sure to be packed with the same dynamic energy that our global customers have come to enjoy."

What will the plot of Good Omens season 3 be?

The finale episode of Good Omens will pick up after Aziraphale and Crowley went their separate ways at the end of season 2.

The episode will follow events discussed decades ago between Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett about what would happen next for the characters.

Fans will also be delighted to hear that Tennant has teased more romance between Aziraphale and Crowley in season 3, telling Michelle Visage on the BAFTA red carpet: "Well, you don't know how many we've got lined up for series 3. I mean, neither do I, to be honest, but, you know."

The final scenes of season 2 saw Crowley kissing Aziraphale and the shocked angel deciding to return to heaven without the demon. A split-screen ending shows the pair unhappily going their separate ways.

Good Omens star Maggie Service, who played a new character called Maggie in season 2, told RadioTimes.com of that ending: "Where we end, I think, is so beautifully written because none of it’s tied up in a bow, none of it’s Hollywood magic. It’s real within fantasy - and what is going to happen next?"

Good Omens cast – who will be back for season 3?

Of course, you can't have Good Omens season 3 without Michael Sheen as Aziraphale and David Tennant and Crowley.

However, beyond the central duo, it's hard to know who of the Good Omens cast could be back for a third season.

The second season saw a major cast shake-up, with some stars returning, others leaving, some staying on but in different roles, and some new cast members joining.

The most likely returnees would seem to be Jon Hamm as Gabriel and Shelley Conn as Beelzebub (although even they are uncertain after Conn took over the role from Anna Maxwell Martin).

For now, here's a list of the season 2 cast members who we could theoretically see back for season 3:

• David Tennant as Crowley
• Michael Sheen as Aziraphale
• Jon Hamm as Gabriel
• Maggie Service as Maggie
• Nina Sosanya as Nina
• Derek Jacobi as Metatron
• Doon Mackichan as Archangel Michael
• Miranda Richardson as Shax
• Paul Adeyefa as Demon Eric
• Elizabeth Berrington as Dagon
• Abigail Lawrie as Elspeth
• Shelley Conn as Beelzebub
• Liz Carr as Saraqael
• Gloria Obianyo as Uriel
• Quelin Sepulveda as Muriel
• Tim Downie as Mr Brown
• Alex Norton as Tulloch
• Andi Osho as Sitis
• Peter Davison as Alistair
• Ty Tennant as Ennon

One person who won't be returning is director Douglas Mackinnon, who confirmed his exit from the show ahead of the renewal.

Mackinnon has directed all episodes of the David Tennant and Michael Sheen series to date, and has been heavily involved in the production of the show.

However, after sharing a photo of the Good Omens set on Instagram, Mackinnon confirmed in the comments: "I'm not involved with this show anymore."
