It's a comedy. The first part was pretty close to the book, so I don't think this is going to be your cup of tea.

Give Miranda Richardson an Emmy nomination. That seance scene was fucking everything. Take notes Meryl.

Good Omens season 2: Everything you need to know
"Here are the answers you've been hoping for."
www.digitalspy.com
For those folk who have no clue about the thing beside the Amazon series the reasons why this is likely to be an utter train wreck are extensive. Near the top of the list as even this tongue bath of an announcement notes is that Gaiman claimed he would not do the sequel without Terry. Nice to know he was willing to compromise that for money. Like all good whores whatever he claims he won't do carries the caveat "unless there's enough money."It's good news, you naughty little demons: Good Omens season two is all systems go, which means Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and Crowley (David Tennant) didn't spend an eternity supping champagne at The Ritz but have instead been preoccupied with more pressing matters.
What have our favorite angel and demon gotten into this time?

That might come as a surprise to many given that Neil Gaiman previously told Digital Spy that he and Terry Pratchett had "always agreed" that they would work on Good Omens "together or not at all".
The sequel to the original novel, 668: The Neighbour of the Beast, was never finished, and Gaiman told us that the show's first season also used a number of details from that narrative in the series.
"[Things like] expanding into heaven and hell," he said. "Gabriel (Jon Hamm) is not in the book, but he and the other angels, and a bunch of the other demons, come from all the conversations Terry Pratchett and I had about what we would do in a second book.
"So in some ways, I've already kind of used that material up."
Clearly, Gaiman has developed plenty more ideas since then, and he did later say that "if people love this enough, and if the time and the will is there, we could absolutely go back and do a lot more".
We should add that the above statement was made before he once again appeared to rule out revisiting that world, but enough of the past. We're currently looking ahead to all things Good Omens season two.
Here's everything you need to know.
Good Omens season 2 release date: When will it air?
Filming will kick off later this year in Scotland, which means we're looking at a 2022 release date.
Amazon Prime subscribers will soon have another six episodes to look forward to.
Good Omens season 2 cast: Who's in it?
Tennant and Sheen are obviously back on board as the faces of the show.
It remains to be seen who else will appear alongside them.
Neil Gaiman, too, returns as exec producer and co-showrunner, and Douglas Mackinnon has been re-hired as the director.
Good Omens season 2 plot: What will happen?
"It's 31 years since Good Omens was published, which means it's 32 years since Terry Pratchett and I lay in our respective beds in a Seattle hotel room at a World Fantasy Convention and plotted the sequel," Gaiman said in a statement (via TV Line).

"I got to use bits of the sequel in Good Omens — that's where our angels came from. Terry's not here any longer, but when he was, we had talked about what we wanted to do with Good Omens, and where the story went next."
He continued: "There are so many questions people have asked about what happened next (and also, what happened before) to our favourite Angel and Demon. Here are the answers you've been hoping for. We are back in Soho, and all through time and space, solving a mystery, which starts with an angel wandering through Soho, with no memory."
Tennant added: "It's probably less good for the universe as it almost certainly means there will be some fresh existential threat to its existence to deal with, but, you know – swings and roundabouts."
Gaiman previously told RadioTimes.com that the sequel he was working on with Pratchett delved into "where the angels actually came from" and given what he said in the above statement, that's what we're going to get.
Good Omens season 2 trailer: When can I watch it?
The cameras haven't started rolling, so it's too early for any new footage. Once it does arrive, we'll pop it right here, just for you.
In the meantime, enjoy our interview with Tennant and Sheen below.

Yeah, I liked the first okay. Some of the changes were obnoxiously woke, but it didn't kill the overall story.A deserved necro I hope for a fairly simple reason.

A sequel though? Yeah that's gonna suck as hard as that hideous mangling of Discworld known as "The Watch".

Saving popcorn for the incoming articles bitching about queerbaiting
I doubt it'd be as terribly unwatchable as The Watch, but I as a fan of the book I didn't find the series to be that great (radio drama is better), so I'm kinda looking forward to this mess.
I do recommend Tennant and Sheen's web show Staged they did last year.

Didn't Pratchett say in some interview that after the events of Good Omens Crowley and Aziraphale moved to a cottage in the countryside and lived peaceful lives? So if they want to respect his memory Season 2 should just be 10 hours of Crowley gardening.

I enjoyed quite a bit of the first season, largely could ignore the woke changes because I was more annoyed with the changes to the children's side of things, the Disneyfication of the ending and the needless downgrading of the imposing factor of Heaven and Hell.
The sequel though the Watch is exactly what I predict coming. Maybe not quite that bad but it could be.
A series of episodes just being Gardener's Question Time with Crowley in attendance would have made for a pretty good radio drama sequel.

A Good Omens follow up with zero involvement from Pratchett, and entirely in the hands of a Gaiman ten years past his prime chasing woke points.
Yeah, this ends well.

I want to be hammered watching it. But I also do not want to waste good booze on seeing it.
Fuck it, maybe I will just hop over the border and scream "shame" at the filming over and over again.

Besides the fact no one knew shit about trannies in 2010, you need to be extremely retarded to think that the dwarves were about trannies rather than an inverse of feminism (as dwarf society expects women to behave exactly like men, and a dwarf women "rebels" by asserting her womenhood).

Get ready for some serious power levelling here; I was friends with a kid whose dad knew Terry Pratchett and, having loved his books, I used to ask for stories on him.
From what I've heard Terry would not have gone woke; the man had a very real world understanding of differences between men and women. Fuck it, you can see it in his work, there aren't many male writers that can flesh out a believable female character, but this one bloody well could.
Fucking wokies don't know shit. And Neil is just hanging on to any thread of relevance he can, pathetic old crow. Thank god the poor man died and missed this peak clownery.

Nobody knew wtf was nonbinary at the time the books were written, but regardless. Applicability exists, so why do they care if terfs enjoy these books?
This is why I'm not excited about Gaiman doing a GO sequel by himself. The first season was already lacking in Terry's input, but at least it was an adaptation. Why not just leave these characters rest in our memories?

Because culture has become a war for those people, a war where your goal is to pillage as much as you can and deny "the enemy" the ability to enjoy those works. In some ways it's outright worse than censoring since you don't pollute the work with modern bullshit.

I was vaguely intrested in watching this when it first came out since it was by gayman and pratchett, and the theme sounded pretty cool, but I heard that its been extensively wokefiied with gender swaps, raceswaps and shoehorned politics and apparently they turned god into a black woman or something?
Is it worth watching or is it just another mangled adaptation?

It's decent. The one raceswap I had issue with was Pepper, the girl who was a red head got hit by the Hollywood dyslexia. It's not bad for a current year adaption, for example in comparison to "The Watch" (*spit*)it's a fabulous adaption. On the other hand they're talking about a sequel, which could (probably will) make this retroactively into shit.
A number of jokes are skipped, but it's really hard to translate a lot of puns and literary wordplay into live action.
