Season 1
The first season of Good Omens consists of six episodes, and directly adapts the events of the book. Note that the synopses below contain spoilers.
| # | Broadcast Date[1] | Episode Title | Synopsis |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2020-01-15 | “In the Beginning” | Demon Crowley is tasked with delivering the Antichrist to an influential American couple at a small rural hospital in England. He and his old friend Aziraphale the angel, who’ve grown to like life on Earth, agree to try and influence him to be a normal boy, perhaps avoiding the apocalypse. Too late they realise they have the wrong boy, thanks to a mix-up at the birth; the real antichrist, Adam, has no idea who he is, but accepts his gift of a hellhound and unknowingly starts the countdown to Armageddon. |
| 2 | 2020-01-22 | “The Book” | Crowley and Aziraphale look for the Antichrist, but reach a dead end. A messenger starts to contact the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Anathema Device, descendent of prophetic witch Agnes Nutter, arrives in Tadfield, Adam's home; she accidentally leaves Agnes' book with Aziraphale, who reads it and realises it can help them find the antichrist. |
| 3 | 2020-01-29 | “Hard Times“ | After a friendship lasting thousands of years, Aziraphale and Crowley fight and end their “arrangement”. Adam meets Anathema and reads her magazines about the various threats to the world, and his powers begin to awaken. |
| 4 | 2020-02-05 | “Saturday Morning Funtime” | Adam's power grows and both Crowley and Aziraphale are found out by their superiors. Crowley goes on the run, while Aziraphale is accidentally banished to Heaven by witch-finder Shadwell, who also starts a fire which burns down the angel's bookshop. The Horsemen assemble. |
| 5 | 2020-02-12 | “The Doomsday Option” | Armageddon begins, with everyone converging at a nuclear base near Tadfield: Adam and his friends, the Horsemen, Crowley and Aziraphale (who is inhabiting the body of Madame Tracy, a medium and Shadwell's landlady), and Anathema and Newt, Shadwell's apprentice, who have begun a relationship foretold by Agnes. |
| 6 | 2020-02-19 | “The Very Last Day of the Rest of Their Lives” | In a final showdown, Adam refuses to start Armageddon and defies his true father. His friends defeat the Horsemen, and Newt's natural talent for breaking technology aborts the launch sequence of the nuclear missiles. Heaven and Hell stand down when challenged by Aziraphale and Crowley, but are deemed traitors. They foil their executions by secretly swapping places, and are left alone...for now. Adam uses the last of his fading powers to sneak out of his garden for an adventure with Dog. |
Season 2
The second season will be released on 28 July, 2023. Early comments from Neil Gaiman suggested it would draw on ideas developed by him with Terry Pratchett for a proposed but never written sequel to the novel, though Gaiman has since said that’s no longer the case, and a third season (should it be produced) would use those ideas instead.
