Good Omens Trailer
Like the NYCC panel that preceded the trailer, this Good Omens teaser is brimming with cheeky banter and a wry British attitude. Which falls perfectly in line with the classic 1990 novel of the same name by Gaiman and Pratchett. That novel is so hilariously British that it would seem near-impossible to bring to the screen, but if anyone is qualified to do it, it’s Gaiman, who writes and acts as a showrunner for the series. Gaiman at first was reluctant to adapt the book, but received a posthumous blessing from Pratchett to bring the story to the life after Pratchett’s death in March 2015. This will be the longtime author and screenwriter’s first time acting as a showrunner, but he’s gotten some practice in lately as executive producer for the acclaimed Starz adaptation of American Gods.
Here is the official synopsis for Good Omens:
Based on the best-selling novel by renowned authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, this series follows the story of Aziraphale, an angel, and Crowley, a demon, who have formed an unlikely friendship spanning 6,000 years and have grown fond of life on earth. However, the end of time grows near with the approaching Armageddon and they must now join forces to find a way to save the world.
