Originally, the show wasonly intended as a six-episode miniseries, adapted fromTerry PratchettandNeil Gaiman’sbeloved 1990 novel.
Originally, both actors assumed the series would be one and done.
Little by little, Tennant says, the second season “crept into existence.”

“But there was no sense initially that would actually bear fruit.”
(Last time, they teamed up to help prevent the apocalypse.
This time, they find themselves in the middle of an angelic mystery.)
Tennant and Sheen say that season 2 will go even deeper.
“It’s the most simple relationship and also the most complicated.
On the simple side, they’re two beings who love each other.
On the complicated side, they’re about as opposite as possible.
So, there are all these obstacles to their relationship, both without and within.”
“He’s a very funny, witty man, and he’s got that comic sensibility.”
“He knows the most obscure British comedy things.
“But increasingly, I was meeting people dressed up as Crowley and Aziraphale.
And one of the loveliest things is that you always meet pairs.
You don’t really meet someone dressed as an Aziraphale, or somebody dressed as a Crowley.
You meet an AziraphaleandCrowley.
They always seem to come in twos.”
“I’d never experienced anything like that before.
David, of course, had gone through the wholeDoctor Whoexperience, but it really blew me away.”
Returning for a second season also meant that Tennant and Sheen had to slip back into their otherworldly guises.
“It’s rarely a wig!”
Tennant says with mock indignancy.
“I mean, that’s my hair a lot of the time!
Obviously when it gets a bit longer, there are bits added in.
But there was a lot of bleaching and dyeing going on before we started shooting.
Good Omensseason 2 will premiere July 28 on Prime Video.
