Brian Cox to voice Death in Amazon’s Good Omens
David Farnor | On 06, Mar 2019
Brian Cox will voice Death in Amazon’s adaptation of Good Omens.
The series, based on the beloved book by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, tells nothing less than the story of the apocalypse. Sort of.
The End of the World is coming, which means a fussy Angel (Michael Sheen) and a loose-living Demon (David Tennant) who’ve become overly fond of life on Earth are forced to form an unlikely alliance to stop Armageddon. But they have lost the Antichrist, an 11-year-old boy unaware he’s meant to bring upon the end of days, forcing them to embark on an adventure to find him and save the world before it’s too late.
The series, which is created by Gaiman and directed by Douglas Douglas Mackinnon, has assembled an absurdly impressive cast list, with Sheen and Tennant joined by Benedict Cumberbatch as Satan, Jon Hamm as the Angel Gabriel,, Nick Offerman, Jack Whitehall, Miranda Richardson, Adria Arjona, Michael McKean, Anna Maxwell Martin, Mireille Enos, and Frances McDormand as the voice of God – plus Derek Jacobi, as the Voice of God (aka. Metatron).
One of the most famous figures in Pratchett lore, though, is Death and the question of whether he might appear in the TV series, not to mention who he might be voiced by, has been on fans’ lips for some time. Previously, Ian Richardson and Christopher Lee have leant their deep voices to the role. Now, Gaiman has confirmed that Brian Cox will be voicing the Grim Reaper. No, not that one.
The casting new arrives as Gaiman counts down to the release of a trailer for the show, which premieres on 31st May on Amazon Prime Video. You can watch the trailer here.
So for anybody wondering… The amazing Brian Cox plays Death in #GoodOmens. This is what Death looks like, when he's not on a motorbike anyway. (Watch the trailer tomorrow.) pic.twitter.com/ARmFMM97uc

Frances McDormand to play God in Good Omens
21st July 2018
Good Omens has found God – and it turns out that, according to Amazon’s adaptation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s novel, God is a lot like Frances McDormand.
The Oscar winning actress, famous for her turns in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Fargo, has joined the fantastical comedy-drama, which takes place in 2018, when the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgment is set to descend upon humanity. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist. Enter Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon, both of whom have lived amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle, and are not actually looking forward to the coming war.
The project has swiftly amassed an absurdly talented list of names to bring it to life, from Michael Sheen and David Tennant as Arizaphale and Crowley to Jon Hamm (Mad Men) as the Archangel Gabriel and Anna Maxwell Martin (Becoming Jane) as Beelzebub. Now, the heavenly cast is stepping up another level, with McDorman set to voice God. She joins Derek Jacobi, who will play the Voice of God (aka. Metatron) in the series.
The news was announced by Neil Gaiman at Amazon Studios’ panel at San Diego Comic-Con this morning, where a first look video for the series, giving us a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes talent at work, was also released. You can see that here, along with details on the show’s release, which has been pushed back to 2019.
David Morrissey joins Amazon and BBC’s Good Omens
22nd June 2018
David Morrissey is the latest impressive name to join the cast of Amazon and BBC Two’s adaptation of Good Omens.
Based on the best-selling novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and produced by BBC Studios, the best-selling novel takes place in 2018, when the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgment is set to descend upon humanity. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist. Enter Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon, both of whom have lived amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle, and are not actually looking forward to the coming war.
The project has swiftly amassed an absurdly talented swathe of names to bring the tale to life, beginning with Michael Sheen and David Tennant as Arizaphale and Crowley. They lead an ensemble that includes Jon Hamm (Mad Men) as the Archangel Gabriel, Miranda Richardson (Sleepy Hollow) as Madame Tracy, Michael McKean (This is Spinal Tap) as Shadwell, Jack Whitehall (Bad Education) as Newt, Adria Arjona (True Detective) as Anathema Device, and Anna Maxwell Martin (Becoming Jane) as Beelzebub. Mark Gatiss (Sherlock), Steve Pemberton (The League of Gentleman), Derek Jacobi (Gladiator), Daniel Mays (Ashes to Ashes), Sian Brooke (Sherlock), Mireille Enos (World War Z) and Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation) are also among the line-up.
Now, one more name has been added to the list: David Morrissey. The Centurion, The Walking Dead and The Missing veteran will play Captain Vincent of the Morbillo, a cruise ship that encounters the sunken city of Atlantis. The news was announced by director Douglas Mackinnon on Twitter.
Good Omens will launch globally on Amazon Prime Video this year, before airing on BBC Two at a later date.
Nick Offerman joins Amazon’s Good Omens
9th February 2018
Nick Offerman has joined the cast of Amazon’s Good Omens series.
Based on the best-selling novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, the 6-part series for Prime Video boasts an already impressive cast that includs Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex) and David Tennant (Doctor Who), plus Jon Hamm as the Archangel Gabriel. Now, Parks and Recreation star Swanson will be joining them as the US Ambassador and father of the child Warlock, who is mistakenly believed to be the Antichrist.
Commenting on the casting, showrunner Neil Gaiman says: “There may not be anyone alive who can deadpan a line quite as well as Nick Offerman. He’s a terrific performer, and has to say a lot of things in Good Omens that are humanly impossible to deliver with a straight face. Fortunately, Nick is not entirely human. We are very lucky to have him.”
On joining the cast Nick Offerman comments: “If you had told me when I first read Good Omens in the early 90s that I would one day visit South Africa to giggle with Neil Gaiman at laptop-screened footage of Dr. Who and David Frost dancing because I was assaying a role in the adaptation of said book, I would likely have offered to purchase some of whatever you must be smoking. But here I am, still giggling at the luck of it.”
The rest of the cast includes Miranda Richardson as Madame Tracy, Michael McKean as Shadwell, Jack Whitehall as Newt, Adria Arjona as Anathema Device, Anna Maxwell Martin as Beelzebub, plus Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, Derek Jacobi, Daniel Mays, Sian Brooke and Mireille Enos.
Filming is currently completing on the project, shooting in locations in and around Cape Town, South Africa, this month.
Mark Gatiss and Steve Pemberton join Amazon’s Good Omens
9th February 2018
Good Omens, the forthcoming television series for Amazon Prime Video, will see The League of Gentlemen stars Mark Gatiss and Steve Pemberton join its cast, as filming of Neil Gaiman’s 6-part adaptation continues in South Africa.
The pair will be taking on the roles of mysterious book-buyers Harmony and Glozier and follow in the footsteps of their fellow The League of Gentlemen star Reece Shearsmith who was revealed last year as playing William Shakespeare. They will be joining leads Michael Sheen and David Tennant who are currently shooting in locations in and around Cape Town. Also joining the pair will be Jamestown actress Niamh Walsh playing the part of Rose.
On joining the cast Mark Gatiss comments: “I’m delighted to be working with David and Michael again and of course with Steve – bringing a little Film Noir menace to such an exciting project. Being bad never felt so good!”
Steve Pemberton adds: “To be asked to fly to Cape Town with Mark and meet up with old friends David and Michael working on a script from the genius mind of Neil Gaiman…? Well, you had me at Cape Town. Glozier and Harmony are a small piece of the jigsaw but hopefully one which will fit nicely into place”
Based on the best-selling novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and produced by BBC Studios, the 6-part series for Amazon Prime Video boasts an already impressive cast including Jon Hamm playing the Archangel Gabriel, Miranda Richardson (Madame Tracy), Michael McKean (Shadwell), Jack Whitehall (Newt), Adria Arjona (Anathema Device), Anna Maxwell Martin (Beelzebub) and Derek Jacobi as the Metatron.
Commenting on the casting, showrunner Neil Gaiman says: “Part of the joy of Good Omens is getting to see what our angel and demon have been doing during human history. And part of the joy as a writer is writing parts with specific actors in mind. Steve Pemberton was my only choice for Glozier and Harmony has to be Mark Gatiss, in a film noir interlude set in 1941…”
Filming will conclude in early March.
Good Omens will launch globally on Amazon Prime Video this year, before airing on BBC Two.
First look: Jon Hamm as Gabriel in Good Omens
1st December 2017
Amazon and the BBC have released the first picture of Jon Hamm in Good Omens.
The six-part TV adaptation of the best-selling novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett is currently in production and will be launched by Amazon Prime Video in 2019, and shown at a later date on BBC Two. Hamm recently joined the cast as Archangel Gabriel.
On his casting, Hamm said: “I read Good Omens almost twenty years ago. I thought it was one of the funniest, coolest books I’d ever read. It was also, obviously, unfilmable. Two months ago Neil sent me the scripts, and I knew I had to be in it.”
Gaiman added: “Gabriel is everything that Aziraphale isn’t: he’s tall, good-looking, charismatic and impeccably dressed. We were fortunate that Jon Hamm was available, given that he is already all of these things without even having to act. We were even more fortunate that he’s a fan of the books and a remarkable actor.”
Reece Shearsmith to play Shakespeare in Good Omens
5th November 2017
Good Omens has found its Shakespeare – and it’s none other than Reece Shearsmith.
The British actor, who has become something of a national treasure through his work with The League of Gentlemen and his anthology series, Inside No. 9, has joined the cast of the upcoming adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s book.
The best-selling novel takes place in 2018, when the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgment is set to descend upon humanity. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. And… someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist. Enter Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon, both of whom have lived amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle, and are not actually looking forward to the coming war.
The six-part series, which is produced by BBC Studios and Amazon Studios, stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant as Arizaphale and Crowley, with the rest of the cast including Daniel Mays, Jon Hamm, Anna Maxwell Martin and more. Gaiman announced Shearsmith’s casting on Twitter this week, posting a picture of him dressed as the Bard on location in London’s Globe Theatre, where filming took place on Thursday.

Anna Maxwell Martin and Josie Lawrence join Good Omens
2nd November 2017
Anna Maxwell Martin and Josie Lawrence have joined the cast of Amazon and BBC Two’s Good Omens.
Based on the best-selling novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and produced by BBC Studios, the six-part series is currently shooting in the UK and stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant as lead characters Arizaphale and Crowley. Now, the Beeb and Amazon have announced several apocalyptic additions to the ensemble: Anna Maxwell Martin as ultimate demon Beelzebub alongside Lourdes Faberes, Yusuf Gatewood and Mireille Enos as the horsemen of the apocalypse.
Commenting on the casting, showrunner Neil Gaiman says: “We already have a stellar cast, and now Anna Maxwell Martin will be the Beelzebub of our dreams. Well, nightmares.”
Mireille Enos, who has been cast as War, adds: “A script this clever, this smart, this current is very rare. How could I turn down playing one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse??? Especially with the incredible group who’s come together to make it. It’s going to be FUN!”
Faberes, who will play Pollution, says: “It’s a gift for any actor to read such a brilliant story let alone be chosen to play a part in it! I’m thrilled to be working with this incredible cast and crew, our genius director Douglas Mackinnon and showrunner Neil Gaiman, whose writing I have always been moved by.”
As regards the Fourth Horseperson of the Apocalypse, showrunner Neil Gaiman says only: “We are hoping that Death will be played by… DEATH.”
Gaiman has also announced on Twitter that Josie Lawrence will be reprising the role of Agnes Nutter, which she played in a Radio 4 adaptation of Good Omens.
Good Omens will launch globally on Amazon Prime Video, before airing on BBC Two at a later date.
Jon Hamm joins Good Omens as Archangel Gabriel
2nd October
Jon Hamm has joined the cast of Good Omens as the voice of God himself, the Archangel Gabriel.
The character of Gabriel has a fleeting role in the original novel but showrunner Neil Gaiman explains why he is being developed for the screen: “Once we had finished writing Good Omens, back in the dawn of prehistory, Terry Pratchett and I started plotting a sequel. There would have been a lot of angels in the sequel. When Good Omens was first published and was snapped up for the first time by Hollywood, Terry and I took joy in introducing our angels into the plot of a movie that was never made. So when, almost thirty years later, I started writing Good Omens for TV, one thing I knew was that our angels would have to be in there.”
“[Gabriel] is everything that Aziraphale isn’t: he’s tall, good-looking, charismatic and impeccably dressed,” he adds. “We were fortunate that Jon Hamm was available, given that he is already all of these things without even having to act. We were even more fortunate that he’s a fan of the books and a remarkable actor.”
“I read Good Omens almost twenty years ago,” comments Hamm. “I thought it was one of the funniest, coolest books I’d ever read. It was also, obviously, unfilmable. Two months ago Neil sent me the scripts, and I knew I had to be in it.”
Good Omens was commissioned for Amazon Prime Video and for BBC Two by Patrick Holland, Controller, BBC Two; Shane Allen, Controller, BBC Comedy Commissioning and BBC commissioning editor Gregor Sharp. It is being produced by the comedy team at BBC Studios, the BBC’s commercial production arm, Narrativia and The Blank Corporation, in association with BBC Worldwide.
Good Omens will launch globally on Prime Video, before airing on BBC Two at a later date.
Daniel Mays, Sian Brooke and Sam Taylor Buck join Good Omens
26th October 2017
Daniel Mays, Sian Brooke and Sam Taylor Buck are the latest additions to the growing cast for Amazon and BBC Two’s TV series of Good Omens.
Based on the acclaimed novel by Pratchett and Gaiman, the series will be filming for the next six months in London, Oxfordshire and locations in South Africa. Equal parts humour and horror, fantasy and drama, it will launch in the UK in 2019 on Prime Video, before going on to BBC Two at a later date.
The show stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant as Aziraphale and Crowley, an angel and a demon who aren’t all too keen on the idea of pending Armageddon. Co-starring will be young actor Sam Taylor Buck as Adam Young, the reluctant antichrist who’s been misplaced somewhere along the way. Alongside Adam in the “Them”, the group of friends who try to soften Adam’s satanic impulses are Amma Ris as Pepper, Ilan Galkoff as Brian and Alfie Taylor as Wensleydale.
The antichrist’s accidental parents will be played by Daniel Mays (Line Of Duty) as Arthur Young and Sian Brooke (Sherlock, Doctor Foster) as Deidre Young.
They join previously announced cast members Adria Arjona (Anathema Device), Nina Sosanya (Sister Mary Loquacious), Jack Whitehall (Newt), Michael McKean (Shadwell), Miranda Richardson (Madame Tracy), Ned Dennehy (Hastur) and Ariyon Bakare (Ligur).
Commenting on his casting, Daniel Mays says: “Beyond overjoyed to be jumping on board Good Omens. It’s not everyday you get to play the father of the antichrist! Neil Gaiman’s scripts are out of this world and the cast they’ve assembled are second to none. Can’t wait to get cracking!”
First look: David Tennant and Michael Sheen in Good Omens
18th September 2017
Filming has begun on the BBC and Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming series of Good Omens, and a first look at David Tennant and Michael Sheen promises exactly what fans of the book have always imagined.
The picture, which was revealed by showrunner Neil Gaiman on Twitter, gives us our first sight of Sheen and Tennant in costume on set as lead characters Aziraphale and Crowley.
“People have fallen in love with an angel and a demon in a book by Terry Pratchett and me, and they have been excited and nervous to see how they would appear on screen – and I was probably the most nervous and excited of all,” says Gaiman. “This is a first look. Michael Sheen is the best and finest of bookseller angels, David Tennant the coolest and most delightful of demons. Together they are one heck of a double act (or do I mean one made in Heaven?)”
Based on the acclaimed novel by Pratchett and Gaiman, the series will be filming for the next six months in London, Oxfordshire and locations in South Africa. Equal parts humour and horror, fantasy and drama, it will launch in the UK in 2019 on Prime Video, before going on to BBC Two at a later date.
Confirmed to be joining Sheen and Tennant in the cast are Adria Arjona (Anathema Device), Nina Sosanya (Sister Mary Loquacious), Jack Whitehall (Newt), Michael McKean (Shadwell), Miranda Richardson (Madame Tracy), Ned Dennehy (Hastur) and Ariyon Bakare (Ligur).
Michael McKean, Miranda Richardson and Jack Whitehall join BBC Two and Amazon’s Good Omens
15th September 2017
Better Call Saul’s Michael McKean, Miranda Richardson and Jack Whitehall have joined the cast of BBC Two and Amazon’s Good Omens.
The six-part television adaptation of the acclaimed novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is equal parts humour and horror, fantasy and drama, as it follows the build up to the end of the world. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis has risen, tempers are flaring. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are ready to ride. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Expect that someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist…
Whitehall will be playing Newton Pulsifer, aka. Newt – an unfulfilled wages clerk turned witch-hunter – and McKean will take on the role of Sergeant Shadwell, the leader of the witch-finder army, who sends him on his mission. Miranda Richardson will play Madame Tracy, psychic medium and part-time courtesan, who provides a helping hand to the pair as they try to prevent Armageddon.
They join Michael Sheen as the somewhat fussy angel and rare-book dealer Aziraphale, and David Tennant as his opposite number, the fast living demon Crowley.
The series is written by Gaiman, who will also serve as showrunner, and is directed by Douglas Mackinnon, whose credits include Doctor Who, Outlander and the standalone Victorian episode of Sherlock: The Abominable Bride.
McKean comments: “I’m thrilled to join this amazing cast and creative team. I can’t think of anyone I’d rather enjoy Armageddon with than Gaiman, Pratchett, Mackinnon and company.”
Michael Sheen and David Tennant to star in BBC and Amazon’s Good Omens
15th August 2017
Michael Sheen and David Tennant will star in the BBC and Amazon’s TV series Good Omens.
The six-part adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s novel is co-produced by BBC Studios, Narrativia and The Blank Corporation in association with BBC Worldwide. It is entirely written by Gaiman, who will also act as showrunner on the series.
The story takes place in 2018 when the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgment is set to descend upon humanity. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter Witch (the world’s only completely accurate book of prophecies), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, and tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. And… someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.
Enter Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon, both of whom have lived amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle, and are not actually looking forward to the coming war.
Variety reports that Michael Sheen will play Aziraphale, with Tennant to co-star as Crowley.
Sheen is best know for his feature film work, including his portrait of David Frost, Tony Blair and Brian Clough, but he’s more recently moved to the small screen, earning acclaim for his role in Showtime’s Masters of Sex, which concluded its fourth and final season last year.
“I first read Good Omens as a teenager and it’s been one of my favourite stories ever since,” Sheen said in a statement. “To be part of the team entrusted with bringing it alive on screen is a bit of a dream come true to be honest. To work alongside Neil, who I think is one of the greatest storytellers of all time, is incredibly exciting. And, just like the rest of the world, I’m a huge fan of David’s so I relish trying to save it with him.”
Tennant, of course, is no stranger to our TV screens, after starring in Doctor Who for three seasons and nine specials, villain Kilgrave in Marvel’s Netflix series Jessica Jones, and, most recently, DI Alec Hardy in the ITV’s Broadchurch.
Good Omens marks the latest in a string of Gaiman TV projects, including Fox’s cop procedural, inspired by Lucifer, and Starz’s American Gods. Both of those aired exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the UK. It’s only fitting, then, that the online book retailer’s streaming service should again be attached to a Gaiman adaptation.
Executive Producers of Good Omens are the author himself, Caroline Skinner (Doctor Who), and Chris Sussman (Fleabag) for BBC Studios, alongside Rob Wilkins (Choosing to Die) and Rod Brown (Going Postal) for Narrativia.
The show will be broadcast on the BBC in the UK, before arriving on Amazon Prime Video. Amazon Prime Video will be the exclusive international home of the series.
The BBC and Amazon are adapting Good Omens into a six-part series
19th January 2017
The BBC and Amazon are teaming up to produce a new TV series based on Good Omens.
The six-part adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s novel is entirely written by Gaiman, who will also act as showrunner on the series.
The hour-long comedy is co-produced by BBC Studios, Narrativia and The Blank Corporation in association with BBC Worldwide.
The programme takes place in 2018 when the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgment is set to descend upon humanity. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter Witch (the world’s only completely accurate book of prophecies), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, and tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming war. And… someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.
“Almost thirty years ago, Terry Pratchett and I wrote the funniest novel we could about the end of the world, populated with angels and demons, not to mention an eleven-year old Antichrist, witchfinders and the four horsepeople of the Apocalypse,” comments Gaiman. “It became many people’s favourite book. Three decades later, it’s going to make it to the screen. I can’t think of anyone we’d rather make it with than BBC Studios, and I just wish Sir Terry were alive to see it.”
Executive Producers of the series are Neil Gaiman, Caroline Skinner (Doctor Who), and Chris Sussman (Fleabag) for BBC Studios; Rob Wilkins (Choosing to Die) and Rod Brown (Going Postal) for Narrativia.
“It feels like a good time to be making a comedy about an impending global apocalypse,” jokes Sussman, Head of Comedy, BBC Studios. “Good Omens has always been one of my favourite books, and it’s hugely exciting not just to be able to bring it to life, but to do so with scripts from Neil Gaiman himself.”
The show will be broadcast on the BBC in the UK, before arriving on Amazon Prime Video. Amazon Prime Video will be the exclusive international home of the series.
