‘Good Omens’ season 3 will have a ‘satisfying’ ending, according to Michael Sheen

The show's third season is still in development, but more updates should be coming soon.

By Joe Allen Updated August 28, 2024

After two successful seasons, the cast and crew of Good Omens is getting ready for one final go-round. The show’s battle-turned-love affair between angel and demon Aziraphale, and Crowley will come to an end with season 3, which Prime Video announced when it offered the renewal.

Now, Michael Sheen, one of the show’s two stars, has offered an update on the forthcoming ending and when we might get a chance to see it.

“It’s still in development, but obviously I’m very excited to work with David [Tennant] again, and I love that character. I’m very excited about it,” Sheen said in an interview with TV Insider, explaining that they didn’t have a shooting schedule yet.

“One of the extraordinary things about being a part of [Good Omens] is the audience, the fans, the fandom of it,” he added. “You have to take it very seriously because people get really affected by it. And seeing how people reacted to the end of Season 2 was extraordinary. So yeah, I hope, and I’m sure, that Season 3 will be a satisfying experience for everyone.”

While love will certainly be on the brain for many of the show’s fans headed into this final season, we also know that Aziraphale and Crowley have to work together to avert armageddon, so they can’t spend all their time kissing. Filming for the show’s third season is set to begin sometime in early 2025, which means we could see the season toward the end of the year or early in 2026. Until then, fans will just have to rewatch the episodes we have.

Andy Serkis is directing a ‘Lord of the Rings’ movie about his famous character

Andy Serkis will direct the next chapter in the Lord of the Rings franchise

Andy Serkis as Gollum in The Two Towers

Although he's had a career filled with great roles, Andy Serkis may always be defined by his performance as Gollum in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. As it turns out, though, Serkis may be okay with that. The actor and director is set to return to the world of Lord of the Rings with a new prequel film called Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum. The movie is set to hit theaters in 2026, and thus far, we don't know a ton about the project.

Ian McKellen's Gandalf is one of the franchise's original stars who is set to return for the project, and in a recent interview with This Morning in the U.K., he offered some details about the upcoming project.

The best Mark Wahlberg movies of all time

From Pain & Gain to Boogie Nights, these are the best Wahlberg movies that you can stream now

Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter

Few actors have had more surprising careers than Mark Wahlberg. After living out a fairly troubled youth and having a brief career as a rapper, Wahlberg transitioned to the big screen and became one of the most enduring movie stars of the past 20 years. Across a wide range of genres, Wahlberg has managed to prove that he has the kind of charisma and charm to carry big-budget spectacles. At the same time, he's also proven that his skills as an actor can be used in smaller, supporting performances, leading to a far more successful acting career than many might have assumed 25 years ago. The films on this list are the best Mark Wahlberg movies, and the ones that crystallize what great Mark Wahlberg movie should be.

The first ‘Penguin’ reviews are out: Here’s what they’re saying about the ‘Batman’ series

The series is a spin-off of the new Robert Pattinson version of 'The Batman'

Colin Farrell in 'The Penguin.'

It may have seemed like a strange and maybe even foolish choice to make an entire spin-off series to The Batman focused on Colin Farrell's Oswald Cobblepot. Farrell is only in the movie for a few key scenes, and crucially, he doesn't exactly resemble the handsome Irish movie star Farrell usually appears on screen as.

Now, The Penguin is on the verge of arriving on Max, and the first reviews for the new series have been released. Those reviews have been generally positive, with many suggesting that the show feels more like a gangster series than something set in the world of The Batman. They've also had praise for Farrell and Cristin Milioti, who plays Sofia Falcone in the film.
