History Series / GoodOmens2019

A third and final season was confirmed on December 14, 2023. Neil Gaiman has stated the third season will conclude the story; and involves ideas he and Pratchett had plotted out prior to the latter's death.

* HiroshimaAsAUnitOfMeasure: Angels measure miracles in "Lazarii," or the energy it takes to bring a dead person back to life. In season 2, Aziraphale and Crowley attempt to each do "half a miracle" in order to not show up on Heaven's radar, but the accidentally overdo it and register as a 25 Lazarii burst.
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Crowley apparently knew Jane Austen well as the mastermind behind the 1810 Clerkenwell Diamond Robbery, a brandy smuggler, and a master spy. Aziraphale is aghast to hear of this, as he loved her books. Crowley is similarly alarmed to learn that she became an award-winning novelist, calling her a bit of a "dark horse" for it while struggling to wrap his head around the idea that she wrote books.

** A variant -- Agnes Nutter directs her descendants in TheEighties to invest in [[PlatformAppleMacintosh "Master Jobbe's machine" for "an Apple will arise that no man can eat"]]. Anathema is shown growing up in a luxurious mansion on the beaches of Malibu because, as her mother explains, they figured out that the prophecy was given because buying shares in Apple's IPO allowed "good fortune to tend [their] days".

Despite initially being conceived as a miniseries, in June 2021, the show was [[https://deadline.com/2021/06/good-omens-neil-gaiman-season-2-amazon-renewed-1234783163/ renewed for a second six-episode season]], titled ''Good Omens 2'', with Tennant and Sheen reprising their roles.

A third and final season was confirmed on December 14, 2023. Neil Gaiman has stated the plans for a third season would conclude the story; and would involve ideas he and Pratchett had plotted out prior to the latter's death.

* HumansAreBastards: Aziraphale and Crowley have seen plenty of examples in their time on Earth, including during [[UsefulNotes/Jesus the Crucifixion]]:

* BroughtDownToNormal: Season 2 starts with a stark naked Gabriel walking up to Aziraphale's bookshop and knowing on the door. He has absolutely no memories of himself or anything else and doesn't seem to have any angelic powers (or at least he doesn't know how to use them).

* [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: Many characters assume that Crowley and Aziraphale are a couple after seeing how they interact and how much time they spend together. Notably, when Uriel refers to Crowley as "your boyfriend in the dark glasses" Aziraphale looks a little flustered but ''doesn't'' object to the description.

* DeathFakedForYou: [[spoiler:Crowley does this with Job's goats by turning them into crows instead of actually burning them to death. Aziraphale doesn't realize it until he hears the "crows" bleet. He then also turns Job's children into lizards after setting their room on fire and then, with Aziraphale's help, has Job and Sitis "produce" three new children... who happened to look exactly like their three supposedly dead children. When Gabriel and Michael turn to Aziraphale in confusion, he openly lies to them that those are indeed new children. Since neither archangel can contemplate the idea of an angel being untruthful, they accept it.]]

* PaintingTheMedium: Text messages from Nina's partner show up as items written on a nearby chalkboard, paper napkins, and so on. She physically erases the chalkboard and snatches a napkin out of midair and crumples it up, perhaps hinting that she's deleting the storm of messages.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Sorta. After the baby switch, Baby B is wheeled away to God-knows-where, [[SnicketWarningLabel and She advises you to give him his own story offscreen]], implying that what actually happened is a bit darker than what you might come up with. In the original novel, Baby B returned living a normal life having been adopted by a normal family, but this is AdaptedOut here, leaving it less certain what actually happened to him and opening up the possibility that the nuns ''didn't'' put him up for adoption.
