The show starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen as demon Crowley and angel Aziraphale, respectively, had its season 3 filming halted in September this year amid a production overhaul.
Author Neil Gaiman, the creator of the show, stepped down from his role in the production following accusations of sexual misconduct. Gaiman denied all claims.
The former showrunner contributed to the final script, but he's no longer involved in the series' production, with his company, The Blank Corporation, exiting the project in October this year.

In August, Sheen shared some insider knowledge on the conclusion, teasing a satisfying ending to the show.
"One of the extraordinary things about being a part of [Good Omens] is the audience, the fans, the fandom of it. You have to take it very seriously because people get really affected by it," he told TV Insider in August.
"And seeing how people reacted to the end of season 2 was extraordinary. So yeah, I hope, and I'm sure, that season 3 will be a satisfying experience for everyone."
Good Omens seasons 1-2 are streaming now on Prime Video.
