Amazon’s fantasy comedy Good Omens won’t be a limited series after all. The streamer recently ordered a second season of the Neil Gaiman-created show and will start filming new episodes later this year in Scotland.

Good Omens is based on the 1990’s novel of the same name, which was written as a collaboration between Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. The first season followed an unlikely coalition between demon Crowley (David Tennant) and the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), who join forces to prevent Armageddon and save the world.

Gaiman will continue his role as executive producer and showrunner for the second season, while Michael Sheen and David Tennant are set to reprise their roles as angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley.

Season two will have six episodes like the first one and is expected to go beyond the source material. According to Gaiman’s blog post, the storylines will be devised from the ideas that he and Pratchett discussed for the sequel of the original novel.

“Terry was clear on what he wanted from Good Omens on the telly,” wrote Gaiman on his website. “He wanted the story told, and if that worked, he wanted the rest of the story told.

Gaiman also added that the new episodes would see Aziraphale and Crowley “solving a mystery which starts with one of the angels wandering through a Soho street market with no memory of who they might be, on their way to Aziraphale’s bookshop.”

Good Omens was a surprise success for Amazon, getting rave reviews from critics upon its release. The series also received three Primetime Emmy Awards nominations.

Another Neil Gaiman television project is in the works.

Over the past three years, fans of the English author have seen both American Gods and Good Omens come to life, with a third show now possibly on its way.

A deal between Netflix and Warner Bros. TV is reportedly near completion, which will see an adaptation of The Sandman comic book series.

The 75-issue series follows Morpheus, who is the Lord of Dreams and one of seven fictional beings called the Endless.

This is not the first time that the DC work was set for screen — Inception actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt was scheduled to star and direct a film version, but creative differences led him to exit the project three years ago.

Allan Heinberg, who penned the script for another DC feature Wonder Woman, will serve as both writer and showrunner for The Sandman series, with Gaiman and David Goyer acting as executive producers.

Let’s hope this dream comes to fruition!
