Deadline reports that production on Good Omens season three, the third and final season of the show, has paused amid allegations of assault centering on creator Neil Gaiman. Gaiman, of course, is the executive producer, writer, and showrunner of Good Omens. And so, understandably, among multiple allegations of sexual assault, the series has paused its work for now. Deadline reports that “there are discussions about possible production changes.” However, Amazon has not made any official announcements at this time.
Gaiman has denied the allegations against him. An investigation is currently underway by authorities in New Zealand. In addition to this Good Omens pause, Disney’s adaptation of Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book has also been put on hold. And Netflix recently canceled Dead Boy Detectives. IndieWire reports “multiple factors went into the decision” about The Graveyard Book. Nothing regarding Gaiman was cited in the Dead Boy Detectives cancellation news.
Good Omens was gearing up to begin production on season three when Amazon paused work on the project. Fans of the show undoubtedly hope the series can proceed in the best possible way. And likely, further updates will come soon.
