Good Omens Season 3 release date confirmed after almost 3 year wait - here's why it is just one episode
After filming in Scotland last year, the release date for the finale of Good Omens has been revealed.
After almost three years, the release date for season three of Good Omens has been confirmed.
The fantasy series left with many with unanswered questions at the end of season two, which left off with David Tennant’s demon Crowley and Michael Sheen’s angel Aziraphale parting ways after admitting their feelings for one another.
Filming for the upcoming finale took place in early 2025, with Tennant spotted shooting scenes at Tills Bookshop in Edinburgh.
Now with just a 90-minute final episode remaining, the pair will reunite to face down the apocalypse - with fans keen to see their favourite couple receive their happy ending.
Good Omens Season 3 release date
The final ever episode of Good Omens is due to be released on Wednesday, May 13 2026.
The news was confirmed on official Good Omens social media accounts after a month of teasing.
A short teaser showing the lights of the set turning on and crew hard at work was posted, with the video ending on a shot of the sign on Aziraphale’s bookshop being flipped from “closed” to “open”.

Why Good Omens is ending with 90-minute episode
While we don’t know much about the plot, in a post on X last December, Sheen wrote: “So this is a big bird saying - we had a screening last night.
“I laughed and I cried. There’ll be bits you absolutely love and there’ll be things you’ll argue about of course. It should have been 6 episodes but it’s not.
“Thank God for what it is. Brilliantly directed, beautiful performances, fantastic new looks, incredible work all round. And there’s nightingales.”
Mentioning that the show should have been six episodes, the season was instead shortened into a final 90-minute special after Neil Gaiman, the co-author of Good Omens, was accused of sexual assault by nine women, including one University of St Andrews student. He has denied the allegations.
Gaiman is said to have contributed writing to the finale, but neither he nor his production company, Blank Corporation, were involved any further.
The accusations were first detailed in a podcast by Tortoise Media in July 2024 and an article by Vulture in January 2025.
