A joint venture between Amazon and BBC Two, the Neil Gaiman adaptation “Good Omens” is premiering later this year exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in over 200 countries and territories (and on BBC Two in the UK), and we’ve got the trailer today. As expected, this show looks like a total blast, and it may just become your new favorite.
Described as equal parts humor and horror, fantasy and drama, “Good Omens” takes place in the modern day 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 that Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon, are not looking forward to the coming war, and someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.
The stacked cast includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Frances McDormand, David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm, Brian Cox, Nick Offerman, Jack Whitehall, Miranda Richardson, Adria Arjona, Michael McKean, Anna Maxwell Martin and Mireille Enos.
“Good Omens” will launch on Amazon Prime Video on May 31.
