Amazon Prime released Good Omens a few weeks ago and Neil Gaiman fans have been wondering whether a second series will be released. Gaiman, however, has said he is unlikely to return as showrunner if there is another season of Good Omens on Amazon Prime. Good Omens season two could still go ahead, though the chances of this happening may be less now that Gaiman has said he won’t be returning.
