Good Omens Castings
Joining Hamm for this next go-around will be Doon Mackichan (“Toast,” “Smack the Pony”) as the angel Michael and Gloria Obianyo (“Dune,” “High Life”), who returns to play the angel Uriel.
“‘Good Omens 2’ just would not be the same without the astonishing Jon Hamm as Gabriel, everyone’s worst boss. The story that Terry Pratchett and I created all those years ago continues to take us from London’s Soho into Heaven and Hell. It’s a delight for me to bring back characters we loved (or hated) and bring in new characters, from the shiniest top floors of Heaven to the dankest basements of Hell, to love (or to hate, or to love to hate or hate to love). All of them are part of the strange and unusually beloved family of ‘Good Omens.’”
New cast members who’ll be playing other angels in the upcoming season include Liz Carr (“Devs,” “Silent Witness”) as Saraqael and Quelin Sepulveda (“Havoc,” “The Man Who Fell to Earth”) as Muriel. Shelley Conn (“Bridgerton,” “The Irregulars”) will be making an appearance as an as-of-yet unnamed character who comes from the depths of Hell. Commenting on the casting, director and co-showrunner Douglas Mackinnon also humorously added:
“Good Omens” is currently in production in Scotland and remains on track for a release sometime in 2022 or early 2023.
“I couldn’t be happier that Jon has come back to do more ‘Good Omens’ as the Archangel Gabriel, who is second in command in Heaven. He joins us nearly halfway through production, when we have already welcomed to the ‘Good Omens 2’ family familiar faces in familiar roles, familiar faces in unfamiliar roles, and unfamiliar faces in unfamiliar roles. We also have an unfamiliar face in a familiar role.”
