Good Omens Sneak Peek
The miniseries is based on Gaiman and Pratchett’s classic 1990 novel of the same name (plus a hilariously long-winded subtitle), and is written by Gaiman, who acts as showrunner for the series — a first for the longtime author and screenwriter. Gaiman was at first reluctant to adapt the book, but received a posthumous blessing from Pratchett to bring the story to the screen after Pratchett’s death in March 2015. Good Omens is not the only small-screen adaptation of one of his books that Gaiman has a hand in — Gaiman also executive produces the acclaimed Starz adaptation of American Gods.
Here is the official synopsis for Good Omens:
The End of the World is coming, which means a fussy Angel and a loose-living Demon 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.
