Amazon and BBC Two announced that Anna Maxwell Martin has joined their upcoming fantasy drama series “Good Omens” as the demon Beelzebub, with Mireille Enos, Lourdes Faberas and Yusuf Gatewood saddling up as Horsemen of the Apocalypse, adds Deadline.

Enos will play War, Faberas is Pollution and Gatewood is Famine — but what about that fourth Horseman? “We are hoping that Death will be played by Death,” writer-showrunner Neil Gaiman said.

Michael Sheen and David Tennant play the respective lead characters of Arizaphale and Crowley in the six-part series based on Gaiman’s and Terry Pratchett’s novel.

“‘Good Omens’ takes place in 2018 when the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgment is set to descend upon humanity. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, and tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan — except a somewhat fussy angel, and a fast-living demon are not looking forward to the coming war, and someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.”

“Good Omens” is in production and will be released by Amazon Prime Video in more than 200 countries in 2019. It will be followed by a run on BBC Two in the U.K.
