Production has begun in Scotland on the second season of the Amazon Original series Good Omens, starring award-winning actors Michael Sheen (Quiz, Staged)and David Tennant (Des, Staged), who return in the leading roles of the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley.
Supporting Sheen and Tennant are many of the key cast from the first season, who return for Season Two with some reprising their roles, and others playing new characters.
Returning cast, some who are featured in new roles for Season Two include:
- Paul Adeyefa (Bancroft, Ransom)
- Michael McKean (This Is Spinal Tap, Better Call Saul)
- Gloria Obianyo (Dune, High Life)
- Miranda Richardson (Stronger, Rams)
- Maggie Service (Quiz, Red Dwarf XI)
- Reece Shearsmith (Inside No. 9, The League of Gentlemen)
- Nina Sosanya (Red Joan, Killing Eve, Last Tango in Halifax, Screw)
Writer and co-showrunner Neil Gaiman commented: “I am so happy to be back here on the streets of Soho, watching, every day, the glorious performances of Michael Sheen and David Tennant. I miss having Terry Pratchett’s genius, but it does feel like we are still all walking around inside his head. It’s been an absolute pleasure to have the brilliant John Finnemore co-write this season’s story shenanigans with me, and to work with director and my co-showrunner Douglas Mackinnon as he steers the ship, along with our astonishing crew, who have returned to do it again.
In this season we get to have new adventures with old friends, to solve some extremely mysterious mysteries, and we encounter some entirely new humans (living, dead, and otherwise), angels, and demons. We were lucky in the first season to have so many outstanding actors taking part, so I took pleasure in inviting people back, wherever we could, some in the roles they played originally, some in new parts written just for them.”
