@@searchingfororion I was going to say the hardest thing would be the helmet but you could just spray a normal one white. The clothes should be relatively easy to source in white.
Miranda Richardson isn't playing Madam Tracy, Neil felt her story was wrapped up. She's playing a new demon (who I think might be Crowley's replacement). Gaiman said they just didn't want to lose Miranda! Maggie Service and Nina Sosanyo are back as well, again playing different characters. I am so excited for this - can't wait!
As someone who accidentally wrote a (rather popular) mini fanfic on the Good Omens Lockdown video (and somehow still does this when discussing the characters with people) let's just say - I am PUMPED. P.S I also *really* want a scene where Jon Hamm eats sushi and *delights* in it after his moment in the first episode.
@@cherryblossom00000 okay I wrote and submitted a thorough response and now it's gone. I wasn't rude or catty or anything so I don't know why? I apologize but I don't have the energy to try to recreate any of it. I'll try to come back and answer you again Cherry. Mods; if my previous comment was removed for some reason please let me know my faux pas so I don't do so again. Much love and appreciation!
It may only be based on Terry and Neil's ideas but it looks great already and at least Neil is still there. I'm so looking forward to this and it's not too long to wait. Yes, Miranda Richardson who played the medium is back and the human police officer is going to be so adorable.
I'm so much less nervous about season 2 than I was before I saw the trailer. Muriel seems utterly adorkable and the boys are on point. Also the irony of the Archangel #&@!ing Gabriel drinking tea and accidentally summing up everything about the Aziraphale/Crowley dynamic. Love that (although put some clothes on, Gabe!!!).
I had more or less the same reaction to the newbie angel. :D The "hello hello hello" and the "I am a human police officer" (which has very "this is a normal human person who is not a fairy/monster/alien trying to lure you in at all, what would make you think that?" vibes) were very endearing.
I trust this will go well for two reasons: 1. One of the best parts of the first season, where we see Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship evolve over the centuries, was nowhere in the book. 2. It wasn't written down but the ideas were firm in their minds, especially in Neil Gaiman's. He has a very strong vision for this that he's been holding on to for so long. I've gone to some of Gaiman's book signings and when he talked about Good Omens he'd just be spilling over with how much they planned to do in the sequel. I'm already seeing a lot of what he spoke about. I was delighted but not surprised to see a nude amnesiac Gabriel because that one of the things he spoke about. (Bonus 3rd Reason) Tennant and Sheen are brilliant together.
Man, I'm excited. Based on what Neil has said, this season is a bridge between s1 and a possible s3, that potential third season having plot points that Sir Terry and Neil came up with for a sequel novel to Good Omens before Sir Terry passed.
I'm pretty excited!!! And yes! Some of the actors from season 1 will be playing completely different characters on season 2, which im actually pretty excited about. Can't wait for July!!!
As someone who knew nothing of Good Omens before watching the first season and totally loving it, I’m so excited for this second season. I love, love love the chemistry between Sheen and Tennant, and giving Jon Hamm a larger role is icing on the cake. The young “cop” is adorable. I wasn’t too sure before, but this trailer is very encouraging. Bring it on!
I have such a huge crush on Anathema Device's actress that I hope Adria has at least a cameo. I'm so glad they're building a storyline around a character that wasn't even IN the book.
With less than satisfactory previous attempts at adaptation of other Pratchett novels, I thought it was a miracle that Good Omens season 1 turned out so well, capturing the FEEL of a Pratchett work. So I thought there's no way they'd be able to pull it off a second time and shouldn't try. Well, from the joy I'm getting just from the trailers, from getting to spend more time with these two characters together, I realize how wrong I was. Even if the show as a whole doesn't stick the landing, I'll be glad to have more time with Crowley and Aziraphale.
AH I am excited! I am also nervous when a show I love gets a second season, especially when I know it is not based in an already completed work. However, from what I have gathered from his social media, Neil Gaiman had at least a decent chunk of creative control over the project, and cares a lot about it. That makes it for me at least worth watching!
Didn't know the trailer had dropped until I saw you'd mentioned it - so of course I had to watch the trailer and then I had to watch your reaction to the trailer. Definitely looking forward to this, the definitely "a human police officer" looks brilliant.
I'm both incredibly excited and kinda nervous about season 2, but the trailer is definitely shifting my feelings towards excited haha. Miranda Richardson is actually not appearing as Madam Tracy this season, but as a new demon character. At least two other actresses from S1 are also back in new roles. I got so emotional when I saw Crowley and Aziraphale. And Muriel (the new angel) is giving me cuteness aggression hahaha, I already love them. I'm also really looking forward to seeing more of Jon Hamm. He was great in S1 and I always enjoy seeing him i comedic roles.
Vera, i blame you!.....now i am gonna finally bite the bullet and watch Good Omens and Owl House....great, you got me wanting to watch 2 more series that i said i wouldn't get in to...
I'm happy about John Finnamore being part of this, his writing has had me laughing out loud many times. Plus Neil will see to it that this will be good I'm sure
Looks great to me. I hope some of the other demon characters come back even if the ones you mentioned don’t return. At best I hope if they don’t have a good way to use the characters from the first season it would be nice to see a couple of them in the background in cameos
also so so so excited! and agree it's a great trailer. Just enough & not too much. I wonder IF there is an in-universe/in-story explanation for some actors in S1 coming back but playing completely different characters while some stayed the same (mainly the non-humans it seems). However, if there isn't an explanation and they just wanted to keep some actors around I am totally cool with that. It's fun! Like a play where someone has multiple roles through various acts.
Did you see the opening credits video that's also been revealed recently? I'm beyond excited for season 2, and it's one of the three big releases of 2023 that I'm most eager for [the other two being A Wonderful Life Switch remake, and Bookshops and Bonedust, the prequel to Legends and Lattes coming out in November].
As a massive Good Omens fan whose followed some of this stuff I can tell you that the actress playing the medium (madium Tracey) is playing a new demon character. How they are going to explain that I don't know. So two new characters.
So the book is my favorite book. And I’m a little bit nervous about how the tone of the show will be handled because the first season took a lot of lines directly from the book. But I really liked the trailer. It was so adorable and lovely and I have pretty high expectations so we shall see how it goes.
I had similar thoughts/concerns about this second season, especially because the original book felt like such a Terry Pratchett creation to me, rather than Neil Gaiman's (I still do have some trepidation, much as I appreciate Gaiman's work and his efforts to ensure good adaptations of his works). Same with the feelings about returning/new characters: I've also seen too many shows bogged down by a (not unreasonable) loyalty to the older characters (or actors) that they've tried to shoehorn them in without known what to do with them. I suppose it makes sense they'd be able to write something tighter, better incorporating everyone in the initial season - why would you add a character you don't need? In follow-ups, that becomes harder, with "fan favourite" characters (especially ones who were so loved because they fit a particular niche moment, overexposure can really ruin some characters) or well-loved actors. Too many shows (especially the CW superhero shows) have fallen into the trap of continually expanding your cast that they become so bloated with little for anyone to do, leading to paper-thin A/B/C/D/E/F plots or the Walking Dead-style of ignoring characters for a few episodes to focus on ones you just can't care about.
This looks good! The only thing I'm worried about is that this turns out like the subsequent American Gods seasons. But I think Gaiman still has more control over this than he did American Gods, so I am hopeful. Also I hope Amazon gave them a bigger special FX budget or it isn't need because the first season had BBC level FX that that were pretty inconsistent in quality IMO. Especially since "Sandman" came out and was rather visually stunning. I think there will be inevitable comparisons unfortunately.
Neil definitely still has control. Not only did he co-write the srcipts, he's also co-showrunning with Douglas Mackinnon who directed season 1. So I'd say it's in about as good hands as it can get. While I get your point about season 1's FX, I thought they fitted it well. They were meant to be a bit off and not quite right, just like the story etc.
Crowley screams three times in two minutes, so you know it's going to be good. Edited to add: Neil Gaimen has talked about this particular season as the "filling in the sandwich" between the first Good Omens book, and the extensive notes/plot/etc. that he and Sir Terry worked on for the never-finished sequel tentatively titled Neighbor of the Beast. If the show gets a third season, we'll get that sequel--and that's likely when the Them (including Adam Young) and Anathema and Newton would come back in. I don't think we're likely to see them in season two--Neil has also talked about season two being "how we get there", meaning how the sequel/season 3/Neighbor of the Beast has to be narratively set up after the ending of Good Omens 1. And, if there's any writer I trust to handle how additional Good Omens material unfolds, it's Neil Gaimen. He's only gotten better as a writer as he's gotten older, and he seems to have figured out how to ensure that adaptations actually work to capture the heart of his stories. He has also promised that Season 2 is going to be gentler, quieter, and more romantic--but has also said his son Ash found episode 4 "too scary for a seven-year old". So I think it's going to be as well-balanced as the first season, and with already-excellent chemistry between the cast members.
I was really hoping for something along the lines of “Crowley and Aziraphael’s adventures through history”, because the Heaven and hell crap bored me senseless in the book/ series,but then, I was raised atheist, so that but was never going to resonate. Ah well. I’ll wait to hear what my fellow loathers of organized religion have to say about it, but my hopes are pretty low at this point.
I'm predicting it now: "Yes, I am a human police officer!" will be the new "How do you do, fellow kids?"
Just a regular human bartender
Easiest cosplay with the most clout ever.

Some of the returning actors (like Miranda Richardson who played the medium) are taking on new roles.
I'M SO EXCITED!!! happy dance time.
LOLOLOL I don't even watch trailers anymore. I just wait for you to post a reaction, and then react right alongside you.

Crowley and Azyraphale are back, I honestly don't care about anything else!

Did Gabriel fall?
Or at very least, saunter vaguely downwards?

They are sooooo great!
