Good Omensis preparing for its third and final season, and there’s a lot of anticipation around it thanks to season 2’s cliffhanger ending, but Michael Sheen’s tease is giving me hope for Crowley and Aziraphale’s future… but it’s also worrying. Amazon Prime Video has built its own catalog of TV shows, some more popular than others, and one of my favorites isGood Omens. Based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman,Good Omenspremiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2019 with great success.
Season 1 ofGood Omenswas based on the novel and followed angel Aziraphale (Sheen) and demon Crowley (David Tennant) as they tried to stop the Antichrist from triggering the apocalypse. Four years later,Good Omensreturned with its second season and an original story in which Aziraphale and Crowley teamed up again to discover what happened to Archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm), whose memory had been erased.Good Omensseason 2 endedon a heartbreaking cliffhanger, and a recent tease for season 3 gives me hope for a happy ending, but it’s also worrying me.
Good Omens Timeline Explained: Everything That Happens In Chronological Order
Good Omens' eternity-spanning story is told out of order - and it gets quite confusing. Here’s the full timeline in chronological order.
Michael Sheen’s Season 3 Tease Gives Me Hope For A Happy Ending In Good Omens
Good Omens Season 2 Ended On A Heartbreaking Cliffhanger
After a couple of challenges, Aziraphale and Crowley found out what happened to Archangel Gabriel and learned he and Hell’s Beelzebub (Shelley Conn) had fallen in love. Gabriel and Beelzebub were sent to Alpha Centauri so they could carry on with their lives together without problems, but that left a spot open in Heaven and one in Hell. At the end ofGood Omensseason 2, the Metatron (Derek Jacobi) arrived at Aziraphale’s bookshop to offer him the role of supreme archangel of Heaven. This position allowed him to bring Crowley with him and make him an angel again, but Crowley wanted something different.
A recent tease from Michael Sheen is giving me hope thatGood Omenswill bring Aziraphale and Crowley back together in the final season.
Crowley struggled to come clean about his feelings for Aziraphale to the confused angel and ended up kissing him and telling him he wanted to stay with him on Earth. However, Aziraphale simply told him he forgave him and returned to Heaven with the Metatron while Crowley simply drove away. The future of Aziraphale and Crowley, both together and separately, is a mystery, but a recent tease from Michael Sheen is giving me hope thatGood Omenswill bring them back together in the final season.
Sheen and company being aware of the audience’s reaction and passion for the show gives me hope that they know what viewers want.
Speaking toTV Insider, Sheen shared his excitement about working with Tennant again and returning toGood Omens. Sheen mentioned that the fandom is one of the “extraordinary” things about being part ofGood Omens,and that seeing their reaction to season 2’s ending was also extraordinary.Sheen added that he’s sure season 3 will be a satisfying experience for everyone. Sheen and company being aware of the audience’s reaction and passion for the show gives me hope that they know what viewers want and that the “satisfying experience” will lead to a well-deserved happy ending for Crowley and Aziraphale.
David Tennant Has Already Teased More Romance In Good Omens Season 3
Crowley & Aziraphale’s Romance Is Now Key To Good Omens
Tennant teased more kisses between Aziraphale and Crowley inGood Omensseason 3 and more romance.
While story details forGood Omensseason 3 are still a secret, David Tennant has teased more romance in the upcoming final season, and I’m deeply grateful for that. Speaking with Michelle Visage on the BAFTA TV Awards red carpet in May 2024 (viaCBR), Tennant teased more kisses between Aziraphale and Crowley inGood Omensseason 3 and more romance. In that same talk, Tennant said season 3 will start shooting in January, so it’s only a matter of waiting for more details about it to be revealed.
There will surely be more challenges for them before they can reunite and reconcile.
However, given how season 2 ended,all those kisses and romance might not happen right away. Aziraphale and Crowley are not even in the same realm anymore, with the former in Heaven and the latter on Earth (for now, at least), and there will surely be more challenges for them before they can reunite and reconcile. Still, it’s relieving to know thatGood Omensseason 3 won’t forget about the love between its main characters and that they’re aiming for a satisfying ending, which I’m hoping means a “happy ending”.
Can Crowley & Aziraphale Really Get A Happy Ending In Good Omens Season 3?
Good Omens Season 3 Might Not Make Things Easy For Crowley & Aziraphale
I do believe Crowley and Aziraphale can get their happy ending inGood Omensseason 3, but not without many obstacles and more pain.
As hopeful as Sheen’s words make me about a happy ending inGood Omensseason 3,I feel there will be a lot more suffering before Aziraphale and Crowley can be together. The only thing that’s known about the plot ofGood Omensseason 3 is that it’s going back to the show’s roots and will feature another apocalypse, asteased by Gaiman himself. In addition to that, the ending ofGood Omensseason 2 teased the Second Coming, as the Metatron revealed it’s the next step in Heaven’s plans, and Aziraphale was visibly worried when he heard that.
I do believe Crowley and Aziraphale can get their happy ending inGood Omensseason 3, but not without many obstacles and more pain (for both the audience and Aziraphale and Crowley) in the process.Aziraphale and Crowley might have to make some sacrifices to be together, perhaps giving up their immortality to live the most normal lives they ever had. A lot can happen inGood Omensseason 3, but hopefully, everything will lead to Aziraphale and Crowley’s happy ending together.
