Prime Video’s beloved fantasy series, Good Omens, is making a highly-anticipated return with its second season, and fans are in for a treat. After a four-year-long wait, the recently released trailer promises an even queerer and more captivating storyline than before.
Based on the international bestseller by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, the show stars David Tennant as the free-spirited demon, Crowley, and Michael Sheen as the fussy angel and rare bookseller, Aziraphale. Their unlikely alliance to save the world from an impending apocalypse quickly earned the series a devoted LGBTQ+ fanbase.
In the upcoming six-episode season, set to premiere on July 28, the story ventures beyond the original source material. Our favorite demon and angel find themselves embracing “easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho.” However, their peaceful existence takes a turn when archangel Gabriel, portrayed by Jon Hamm, appears on Aziraphale’s doorstep naked and suffering from amnesia, leading to a series of “extremely complicated” events.
As both Heaven and Hell launch frantic searches for the missing archangel, Crowley and Aziraphale once again conspire to uncover the mystery behind Gabriel’s condition. Yet, their mission to hide Gabriel from celestial forces disrupts their lives in unforeseen ways. The official synopsis promises an epic journey spanning from ancient times to the present day, encompassing biblical eras, Victorian Edinburgh’s grave robbing, the Blitz in 1940s England, and more.
The Good Omens season two trailer is a whirlwind of chaos and excitement, capturing the essence of the show’s unique blend of heavenly hijinks and profound camaraderie. Fans are treated to Crowley casually stepping into Aziraphale’s bookshop, reigniting their endearing chemistry with the words, “I’m back.” The trailer hints at celestial mishaps that inadvertently escalate into a war, showcasing the duo’s sharp comic timing and heartwarming moments.
Created by Neil Gaiman, the mastermind behind Netflix’s beloved queer series, The Sandman, Good Omens has amassed a significant LGBTQ+ following. Viewers have already penned over 40,000 fanfictions on Archive of Our Own, exploring the imaginary love life of Crowley and Aziraphale. The new season’s trailer fuels speculation as one particular line from Gabriel alludes to an explicit acknowledgment of their romance. Accompanied by a scene where Crowley and Aziraphale share wine and tender smiles, fans are eager to witness the culmination of their undeniable affection.
Good Omens season two, an eagerly awaited continuation of this enchanting fantasy series, arrives on Prime Video on July 28. Catch up on the first season, available for streaming now, and prepare for a journey filled with love, laughter, and apocalyptic adventures.
