VIDEO: Cast of Good Omens on Terry Pratchetts' legacy and Devils on their shoulders


Neil Gaiman and the cast of Good Omens talks to Digital Spy exclusively about the weight of the project and what they'd do if the apocalypse happened.



The show is an adaptation of the Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman cult fantasy novel, a dark, comedic story set in modern day Britain on the brink of the Apocalypse. When a fussy angel, Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and a suave demon, Crowley (David Tennant) get wind of the coming of the Antichrist, they join forces to prevent the loss of their comfortable lifestyle on Earth. Throw in a medley of unforgettable characters, some infernal riders, a host of angels, a legion of demons and a gang of unruly kids, and the end of the world will never be funnier! 

With scripts written by Neil Gaiman himself, who also acts as showrunner, the series is directed by Douglas Mackinnon and boasts a star studded cast led by David Tennant and Michael Sheen with Miranda Richardson, Jon Hamm, Michael McKean, Jack Whitehall, Adria Arjona, Mireille Enos, Nick Offerman, Nina Sosanya and the voice of Benedict Cumberbatch.

Good Omens comes to Amazon Prime worldwide on 31 May
