Jon Hamm causes a crisis in the trailer for Good Omens season 2

The first season of Good Omens adapted the book of the same name by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, two titans of the literary world if there ever were any. Pratchett passed in 2015, but he and Gaiman dreamed up an idea for a sequel before his death, and now that idea is coming to the small screen. It’s Good Omens season 2, and it’ll be here in July.

The first season charmed fans with its depiction of the unlikely friendship between the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (David Tennant), both of whom grew so fond of living on Earth that they teamed up to prevent its destruction in the scheduled Biblical apocalypse. In the second season, a new crisis is precipitated by the disappearance of the archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) from heaven. Why does he leave? It’s unclear, but apparently he’s holing up at Aziraphale’s bookshop.

Though mentioned in passing in the original book, Gabriel’s role was greatly expanded for the first season of the show. Putting him at the center of the second season takes us well and truly into uncharted territory. Watch the trailer below:

The Ineffable Husbands return in Good Omens season 2

Many fans of the first season of Good Omens were extremely taken by the unlikely partnership between Aziraphale and Crowley, dubbing them “the ineffable husbands.” The trailers winks at the shippers with this line from Gabriel to Aziraphale: “You know what it’s like when you don’t know anything at all and yet you’re totally certain that everything would be better if you were just near one particular person?”

We’ll see what lies ahead for heaven, hell and us poor sods in between when Good Omens season 2 premieres on Amazon Prime Video on July 28.
