Season one of Good Omens saw Aziraphale and Crowley save the world from almost-certain destruction at the hands of the Antichrist. Stopping the apocalypse wasn’t the end of their story though, even if it’s where the book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett ended. Good Omens will return for season two this summer. The series will release on July 28, to be exact. We’ll see David Tennant’s demon and Michael Sheen’s angel together again, probably bickering and being adorable. While we excitedly anticipate the show’s return, Good Omens has given us plenty to speculate over. Aside from an excellent Good Omens season two trailer, we have new clips from the series, an Easter egg-filled opening sequence, and more.
Good Omens Season Two First-Look Clip
There’s trouble brewing, but we don’t know what kind yet. Still, we’re enamored with this exchange between Gabriel and Aziraphale. Poor Aziraphale; he is just trying to keep to the point. But Gabriel is having too good a time drinking his warm drink. We can relate. The Good Omens season two clip also brings up many important questions. What “something terrible” is on the horizon? And will Gabriel ever get dressed? We suppose we’ll have to wait and see.
Good Omens Season Two Opening Credits Sequence
If the season two opening credits sequence is any indication of the fun that’s in store in season two, we cannot wait.
If you look closely at this naunced opening, you’ll see many fun clues and Easter eggs that hint at the story to come. For instance, Peter Anderson, the designer of Good Omens opening sequences, shares, “If you look closely a character from the series one titles is trying to escape hell again!” We love it.
Anderson also offers, “We started the sequence for series two as a direct follow-on from series one… The content of the titles was an obsessively detailed telling of the new series story with a few gems for the avid fan.” We can’t wait to take a magnifying glass to all the symbols and details here.
Crowley and Aziraphale Poster
Of course, Good Omens season two also released more traditional poster art, and we are happy to see the closeness that exists between our favorite angel and demon.
As far as what Aziraphale and Crowley will do in the season’s six episodes, aside from lean against one another, that is, we have only the smallest hints.
Good Omens Season Two Synopsis, Release Date, and More
The Good Omens season two release shares a bit more about the upcoming story:
Season Two of Good Omens explores storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the uncanny friendship between Aziraphale, a fussy angel and rare book dealer, and the fast-living demon Crowley. Having been on Earth since The Beginning, and with the Apocalypse thwarted, Aziraphale and Crowley are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho when an unexpected messenger presents a surprising mystery.
We’d be content to watch the duo shop for socks, but we’ll take a mystery—especially given the show’s terrific cast. Jon Hamm returns as archangel Gabriel, Doon Mackichan will portray Michael again, and Gloria Obianyo returns as Uriel. Additionally, returning this season in new roles are Miranda Richardson as demon Shax, Maggie Service as Maggie, and Nina Sosanya as Nina, with new faces joining the misfits in Heaven and Hell: Liz Carr as angel Saraqael, Quelin Sepulveda as angel Muriel, and Shelley Conn as demon Beelzebub.
The Hillywood Show revealed the premiere date in this spot-on Good Omens parody:
As mentioned, Good Omens season two debuts on Prime Video on July 28.
