Neil Gaiman Reveals Significant Time Jump in Good Omens Season 2
Good Omens, the television series co-created by renowned author Neil Gaiman, is set to embark on a new chapter in its second season, featuring a significant time jump. After introducing the characters of Aziraphale, the angel, and Crowley, the demon, in the first season, the duo has formed an unbreakable bond that transcends their opposing roles in the eternal battle between Heaven and Hell. Aziraphale and Crowley have settled on Earth as representatives of their respective realms, adapting to the peculiarities of human life. Nevertheless, their peaceful existence is threatened as they face the daunting task of preventing the arrival of the Antichrist, an event that would trigger the ultimate conflict known as Armageddon.
Recently, Neil Gaiman revealed that a significant amount of time has elapsed since the conclusion of the first season of Good Omens, and the new season takes place a few years later. Responding to inquiries on his personal Tumblr account, Gaiman confirmed that the new season occurs in more or less real-time and is set four years after the previous season.
\”It takes place a few years after the end of Season 1. It feels like it’s probably in more or less real time, which would mean it’s four years on.\”
What To Expect From Good Omens Season 2
In the second season of Good Omens, the show delves deeper into the unique and unlikely friendship between Aziraphale and Crowley. These two characters have been on Earth since the dawn of time and, after successfully averting the Apocalypse, they are ready to enjoy a more relaxed and carefree life among humans in London’s vibrant Soho district. However, just when they thought everything was going smoothly, an unexpected messenger arrives and presents them with a surprising mystery. This unexpected turn of events sets the stage for new adventures and challenges for our characters.
Good Omens was originally conceived as a limited series. However, due to the overwhelming response from fans, Neil Gaiman decided to give viewers more of what they love.

The duo embarks on a new mission to save the world from an impending disaster. Check out the trailer below.
Jon Hamm reprises his role as the archangel Gabriel, while Doon Mackichan and Gloria Obianyo also make a comeback as archangels Michael and Uriel, respectively. In addition to these familiar faces, Miranda Richardson, Maggie Service, and Nina Sosanya will be joining the new season. The lineup of actors is expanded even further with the introduction of new characters played by Liz Carr, Quelin Sepulveda, and Shelley Conn. David Tennant’s son, Ty Tennant, will be making his debut on the show as Ennon.
