Crowely and Aziraphale are hiding an old friend
We finally have a trailer for Good Omens Season 2 – which means we finally know more about what it’s about. Writer Neil Gaiman and director Douglas Mackinnon were pretty coy about the details, to the point that we even got the opening sequence before we got the trailer. But one thing they did say: there are some love stories in there.
And now that Crowley and Aziraphale have enjoyed their time together on Earth without the burden of preventing the apocalypse, they’ve been able to relax a little (and maybe live together?!). Until they find out: Archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) has disappeared!
The angels in heaven suspect a crime, but even the demons in hell have no idea what the hell happened. It turns out he’s hiding in Aziraphale’s bookstore – and has no memory of who he is. Aziraphale and Crowley must work together to figure out what the heck is going on while hiding what they’re doing from their superiors.
The trailer also includes some long, lingering looks between the two – as they deserve!
Earlier at New York Comic Con, Gaiman and Mackinnon revealed some details about new characters who will join the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (David Tennant), including Muriel (Quelin Sepulveda), a gullible but well-meaning angel , who comes to visit First Time on Earth and Maggie and Nina, two SoHo business owners who own shops near Aziraphale’s legendary second-hand bookstore. These two are played by Maggie Service and Nina Sosanya (each playing exactly what you think) who impersonated two nuns in the first season.

Season 2 of Good Omens will be released on Amazon Prime Video on July 28th. There will be six episodes.
