Oops! More Than 20,000 People Signed a Petition Asking Netflix to Cancel Amazon’s “Good Omens”
A joint venture between Amazon and BBC Two, the Neil Gaiman adaptation “Good Omens” launched exclusively on Amazon Prime Video here in the States last month, and it’s the latest piece of entertainment to spawn a silly petition. But this one’s even sillier than the silliest of petitions, as 20,000 people have signed a petition asking *Netflix* to cancel the series!
Again, “Good Omens” is an Amazon series, and Netflix has nothing to do with it.
The petition, launched by the Christian-led Return to Order campaign, has been scrubbed from the internet in the hopes of avoiding further embarrassment, but the complaint was that “Good Omens” is “another step to make satanism appear normal, light and acceptable.” The petition had also noted that the series “mocks God’s wisdom.”
The petition continued, “this type of video makes light of Truth, Error, Good and Evil, and destroys the barriers of horror that society still has for the devil.”
“Good Omens,” a six-episode mini-series, tells a tale that follows a demon and an angel who seek to prevent the coming of the Antichrist and with it Armageddon, the final battle between Heaven and Hell. David Tennant stars as the demon Crowley, Michael Sheen as the angel Aziraphale, and Frances McDormand as the voice of God.
Gaiman himself responded to the petition, “I love that they are going to write to Netflix to try and get #GoodOmens cancelled. Says it all really.”
Let this be a reminder: not *everything* is made by Netflix, even if it may seem that way!
Netflix announced today that the fan-favorite series “Devil May Cry” has been renewed for a third and final season following the recent debut of season two.
Created by “Castlevania” showrunner Adi Shankar, the animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game introduces a world where sinister forces seek to open a portal between the human and demon realms.
Caught in the middle is orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire Dante, unaware that the fate of the balance falls to him.
Across its two seasons, the series has appeared on the Netflix Global Top 10 for four weeks, with season one accumulating 21.7M views in 2025, and season two already off to a strong start, accumulating 6.4M views in just two weeks. All of which to say that the rapid renewal for the third and final season doesn’t come as a surprise.
“For those of you who have been paying attention to the episode names, I have been showing you the structure the entire time. This was always Dante’s Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat. Season 1 was Inferno. Season 2 was Purgatorio. Season 3 will be Paradiso. These three seasons make up ‘The Force Edge Saga.‘ Since its inception, ‘The Force Edge Saga‘ was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series,” Shankar said of the announcement.
The voice cast for “Devil May Cry” Season 2 is led by Johnny Yong Bosch (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”) as Dante, Robbie Daymond (“Critical Role”) as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween) as Lady.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his second season review for BD, “Winning chemistry between Dante and Vergil, as well as a narrative that isn’t afraid to put other characters in the spotlight, helps this season overcome some of the past season’s hurdles. This is a tight, economical season that doesn’t overstay its welcome, but part of the charm and impact is weakened the second time around. “
Created by Hideki Kamiya, the first Devil May Cry game was released in 2001. There are now five main games in addition to several reboots, spin-offs, special editions, and mobile games.
Catch up on the first two seasons now streaming on Netflix.
