Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett once wrote a book together called Good Omens, and it is very good. Now Gaiman will be writing and show running it for Amazon, and this is a great thing, but it’s got even better because we know the stars…

 

David Tennant and Michael Sheen will be taking the lead roles, and this is absolutely perfect. If Gaiman is making these kinds of decisions then everything will be fine. Of course Terry isn’t alive anymore to have input, but it’s already looking better than other adaptions of his work.

 

Sheen is even a long standing fan, telling Variety "I first read Good Omens as a teenager and it's been one of my favorite stories ever since… 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."
