The highly anticipated third season of 'Good Omens' has been put on hold following recent allegations made against series co-creator Neil Gaiman. The news comes as a shock to fans of the popular fantasy series, which stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant.
Production sources close to the project have indicated that Amazon Studios has temporarily suspended pre-production activities while they assess the situation. The nature of the allegations has not been officially disclosed, and representatives for both Amazon Studios and Neil Gaiman have declined to comment on the matter.
The series, based on the 1990 novel co-written by Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, has enjoyed critical acclaim and a devoted following since its debut in 2019. The second season, which aired in 2023, expanded beyond the original source material with new storylines developed by Gaiman.
Industry insiders suggest that the suspension could impact the show's planned release schedule, originally targeted for late 2024. The uncertainty surrounding the production has raised questions about the future of the series, which had been greenlit for a third season following the success of its second installment.
Fan communities have expressed mixed reactions to the news, with many calling for transparency while others advocate for waiting until more information becomes available. The situation remains fluid, with no official timeline for resolution or announcement regarding the show's future.
This development marks a significant setback for the production, which had already begun early stages of pre-production and script development. The show's other creative team members and cast have not yet made public statements regarding the situation.
