Amazon Prime Video has revealed the opening title sequence for Good Omens, the upcoming TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s 1990 fantasy comedy novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch; watch it here…
According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch – the world’s only totally reliable guide to the future, written in 1655, before she exploded – the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea…
People have been predicting the end of the world almost from its very beginning, so it’s only natural to be sceptical when a new date is set for Judgement Day. This time though, the armies of Good and Evil really do appear to be massing. The four Bikers of the Apocalypse are hitting the road. But both the angels and demons – well, one fast-living demon and a somewhat fussy angel – would quite like the Rapture not to happen.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist…
Good Omens premieres on Amazon Prime and BBC Two on May 31st, and features a cast that includes David Tennant (Jessica Jones), Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex), Michael McKean (Better Call Saul), Frances McDormand (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock), Miranda Richardson (Churchill), Adria Arjona (True Detective), Nina Sosanya (Marcella), Ned Dennehy (Peaky Blinders), Ariyon Bakare (New Blood), Anna Maxwell Martin (Becoming Jane), Lourdes Faberes (Knightfall), and Yusuf Gatewood (The Originals).
