While a spokesperson did not comment to Deadline, the outlet claimed to have heard discussions about possible production changes. However, Deadline reports that Gaiman himself has offered to leave the third and final season of Good Omens. This was apparently an effort to continue production, but according to Deadline , Gaiman doesn’t admit that any of the accusations are true. Amazon is reportedly considering Gaiman’s proposal but has not yet made a final decision. The show is currently in pre-production and was originally scheduled to be released in January 2025.
The show was renewed for a third and final season last year, with Gaiman returning as writer, executive producer and showrunner. Douglas Mackinnon was co-showrunner for the first two seasons, but there was no explanation why when he left. There are currently no plans for a fourth season, as Gaiman has previously stated that there will not be one.
Earlier this month, the film adaptation of Gaiman’s 2008 young adult novel The Graveyard Book was also put on hold at Disney, though Deadline notes that the decision was apparently based on a variety of factors.
