Michael Sheen expresses doubts about the forthcoming release of the 'Good Omens' finale special.
Figure It Out: Good Omens' Third Act
The Good Omens fanbase has been in a whirlwind since the dramatic season two finale back in 2023. In December of that year, excitement skyrocketed with the announcement of a third and final season, only for production to halt the following year due to allegations against showrunner and co-author, Neil Gaiman. After a bewildering series of twists, we learned that the third season was set to be a 90-minute special instead of a full series.
Now, a chat with star Michael Sheen, who portrays the angel Aziraphale, casts a shadow of doubt over the special's future. During a discussion with The Times (via Collider), Sheen hinted at uncertainties when addressing the finale, stating, "I really don’t know what's going to happen with it."
Sheen also suggested that filming was wrapped up on the special, and discussed the disconcerting situation surrounding Gaiman's allegations, which have inescapably seeped into the show's public discourse. "Tennant and I were both relieved we finished the story, but that's within this really difficult, complicated, disturbing context," Sheen shared, adding, "I hope people get to see it, but that, to a large extent, is out of our hands."
A source familiar with the project assured io9 that the series finale is still in the works.
Although no official confirmation has been made, we keep our fingers crossed for a glimpse into the resolution of Aziraphale and Crowley's enchanting relationship. Keep an eye out for updates if and when any new information about the Good Omens finale surfaces.
