The original plan for the third and final season called for six episodes, but production was delayed first by the 2023 writer's strike and then by multiple allegations of sexual assault against Gaiman. (Gaiman has vehemently denied allegations of any nonconsensual sex or abuse, but admitted to being selfish and "careless with people's hearts and feelings" in a January 2025 blog post.) The fallout led to Gaiman withdrawing from the project and Prime Video opting for a 90-minute finale rather than a full season. And here we are.

In the wake of a series of sexual misconduct and assault allegations against creator Neil Gaiman, production on the series's third season was paused indefinitely. Although Gaiman has repeatedly denied the claims, it certainly felt like the Prime Video comedy about the unorthodox love story between an angel and a demon-as well as the human world they both adore-would likely find itself in the proverbial bin alongside several other shelved and/or canceled projects connected to the disgraced author.

It's a blessing that Good Omens Season 3 is happening at all. Mired in real-life controversy, creator Neil Gaiman stepped away from the project, and many fans were worried that the show would end after the heartbreaking confession and betrayal of the Season 2 finale. Thankfully, Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and Crowley (David Tennant) live on, albeit in a shorter, feature-length special that tries its best to tell the story of the Second Coming but really just wraps up the story of these Ineffable Husbands. But let's be honest - that's all we really wanted anyway.
