It’s been a long time coming, but Good Omens season 3<\/a> finally has a release date.<\/p>\n

The finale episode of the fantasy series, which follows David Tennant’s<\/a> demon Crowley and Michael Sheen’s<\/a> angel Aziraphale as they team up to end the incoming apocalypse, will arrive on Prime Video<\/a> on 13 May, almost three years after season 2 aired.<\/p>\n

The news was confirmed after days of teasing from the Good Omens social media team, with a short teaser showing the crew getting Aziraphale’s bookshop ready for action, with the sign on the door being changed from ‘Closed’ to ‘Open’.<\/p>\n

Last season left us with plenty of unanswered questions, with Aziraphale and Crowley finally admitting their feelings and sharing a kiss before going their separate ways.<\/p>\n

Plot details about the finale have been thin on the ground, but Sheen recently gave a tease on X, saying: “There\u2019ll be bits you absolutely love and there\u2019ll be things you\u2019ll argue about of course. It should have been 6 episodes but it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

“Thank God for what it is. Brilliantly directed, beautiful performances, fantastic new looks, incredible work all round. And there\u2019s nightingales.”<\/p>\n

As he mentioned, the finale episode will have just 90 minutes to wrap things up, after the season was shortened.<\/p>\n

Neil Gaiman, co-author of Good Omens, exited the TV series after he was accused of sexual assault<\/a>, which he has strongly denied. He contributed to writing the Good Omens finale but he did not work on the production and his production company Blank Corporation was not involved.<\/p>\n

A total of nine women have spoken out against the writer, with their accusations being detailed in a Vulture<\/a> article published in January 2025, and in a Tortoise Media podcast<\/a> released in July 2024.<\/p>\n

Allegations included claims that Gaiman engaged them in “rough” sex and BDSM without their consent. The novelist has firmly denied any non-consensual or illegal conduct in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said: “As I read through this latest collection of accounts, there are moments I half-recognise and moments I don’t, descriptions of things that happened sitting beside things that emphatically did not happen.<\/p>\n

“I’m far from a perfect person, but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever.”<\/p>\n

Good Omens season 3 will arrive on Prime Video on 13 May 2026.<\/p>\n
