Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens is getting a second season at Amazon.

Gaiman and Douglas Mackinnon will serve as executive producers and showrunners. Mackinnon is also once again directing the series. John Finnemore will serve as a co-writer with Gaiman.

Since the first season so wonderfully adapted the novel, the second season will go beyond the source material. Arizaphale and Crowley are still living amongst mortals when an unexpected messenger presents a surprising mystery.

Gaiman stated on his blog that he and Pratchett had talked about where the story of Good Omens went next and plotted the sequel. Said Gaiman, “We fully intended to write it, whenever we next had three or four months free. Only I went to live in America and Terry stayed in the UK, and after Good Omens was published Sandman became SANDMAN and Discworld became DISCWORLD™ and there wasn’t ever a good time. But we never forgot it. …  Terry was clear on what he wanted from Good Omens on the telly. He wanted the story told, and if that worked, he wanted the rest of the story told.”

Narrativia, Endeavor Content, and Motive Pictures are partnering to make new adaptation of Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels. The 41 Discworld novels take place on flat world set on the backs of four elephants who are balanced on the back of a giant turtle who glides through space.

In 2018, BBC America announced a TV series adaptation titled The Watch, which is not connected with this new deal.

BBC America’s The Watch, inspired by Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, has a growing cast list. Anna Chancellor portrays Lord Vetinari, James Fleet portrays The Archchancellor, Ingrid Oliver portrays Doctor Cruces, Ruth Madeley portrays Throat, Hakeem Kae-Kazim portrays Captain John Keel, Bianca Simone Mannie portrays the wizard Wonse, Richard Dormer portrays Captain Sam Vimes, Adam Hugill portrays Constable Carrot, Jo Eaton-Kent portrays Constable Cheery, Marama Corlett portrays Corporal Angua, Lara Rossi portrays Lady Sybil Ramkin, and Sam Adewunmi portrays Carcer Dun.

The series will be directed by Craig Viveiros, Brian Kelly, and Emma Sullivan. Simon Allen is the lead writer.

“Set in a fictional city where crime has been legalized, The Watch is a genre-busting series that follows a group of misfit cops as they rise up from decades of helplessness to save their corrupt city from catastrophe. Uniquely anarchic and thrillingly entertaining, the character-driven drama follows several of Sir Terry Pratchett’s best-loved creations on a riotous and emotional odyssey.” (BBC America)
