Delightful duo David Tennant and Michael Sheen have teased their return to the fantastically theological world of Good Omens, with a pair of images confirming they are ready for season 2. Both actors shared shots of their respective hairstyles, beginning with Tennant’s fiery locks, which came with the caption “He’s like fire.”
Michael Sheen meanwhile shared a glimpse of his bleached blonde mane in a black-and-white shot, along with the caption “Shades of grey.” David Tennant and Michael Sheen will once again unite for the second season of Good Omens with Sheen once again playing the angel Aziraphale opposite David Tennant’s demon, Crowley.
Based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s 1990 novel of the same name, the first series of Good Omens explores several lofty ideals within the charming, often hilarious tale, tackling various Christian themes and figures, all of which are handled with the humor and insight that both Gaiman and Pratchett are well known for.

Centering on Michael Sheen and David Tennant as Aziraphale and Crowley, an angel and a demon, who over 6000-years have formed a bond that transcends their respective sides in the holy war. Picking up in 2018, the long-time angel and demon acquaintances have grown accustomed to life on Earth as representatives of Heaven and Hell but must seek to prevent the coming of the Antichrist and thus Armageddon, in the final battle between Heaven and Hell. The first season features a hugely talented ensemble cast including Adria Arjona, Miranda Richardson, Michael McKean, Jack Whitehall, Jon Hamm, and Frances McDormand as the voice of God.
While the first season was initially intended as a standalone limited series, with the events of season 1 covering the entirety of the source novel, season 2 came as a welcome surprise to fans, all of whom cannot wait to see Tennant and Sheen share the screen once again. With no source material to draw from, Gaiman has explained why he was drawn to continuing the story of Aziraphale and Crowly on the small screen. “It’s 31 years since Good Omens was published, which means it’s 32 years since Terry Pratchett and I lay in our respective beds in a Seattle hotel room at a World Fantasy Convention, and plotted the sequel,” Gaiman said in a statement.
