“Good Omens” or, more fully, “Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch,” is a comedic take of the coming of the apocalypse. It centers on the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley, who attempt to short-circuit the End Times, and the Antichrist who, because of a mixup at the hospital, is a seemingly normal boy raised by English parents.
- Based on the 1990 Fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett
- Targeted for 2018 for a six-episode adaptation with Gaiman as writer and showrunner
- Pratchett gave his blessing before his passing in 2015
- BBC Studios, Narrativia, and Blank Corporation will be co-producing for Amazon Prime Video and the BBC
- Gaiman says, “Almost thirty years ago, Terry Pratchett and I wrote the funniest novel we could about the end of the world, populated with angels and demons, not to mention an eleven-year-old Antichrist, witchfinders and the four horsepeople of the Apocalypse,” Gaiman said in a statement. “It became many people’s favourite book. Three decades later, it’s going to make it to the screen. I can’t think of anyone we’d rather make it with than BBC Studios, and I just wish Sir Terry were alive to see it.”

One of my most favorite books back in the day, I'm looking forward to this =) I'm glad Gaiman will be working on it as well. With American Gods coming this year and now this, I'm pretty stoked! So, who is your fancast? And how many nipples do you have, ONTD?
