My interpretation of Crowley from Good Omens as Alexandre Cabanel’s Fallen Angel.
As usual, I’m painfully late to the party but I’ve recently been really enjoying Good Omens. I’m sure this has been done before but I just wanted to give my interpretation of Crowley in one of my favourite paintings.
The Ineffable Husbands will be back after a 3 year wait and everything will be tickety boo...
or will it?

The three years have gone by fast because Michael Sheen and David Tennant have not left our screens in 3 years. I spent the pandemic with them, Daniel Mays and Sheridan Smith more than I did with my family.
We had Michael Sheen in the too-short lived PRODIGAL SON, unrecognizable in QUIZ
, LAST TRAIN TO CHRISTMAS, VARDY V. ROONEY: A COURTHOUSE DRAMA about the Wagatha Christie football wives brouhaha. Tennant was in DEADWATER FELL (playing a bastard), DES (playing a bastard and absolutely robbed of a BAFTA nomination)
, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, INSIDE MAN (playing a very stupid man) and of course he and Sheen gave us three series of the fantastic STAGED.
It was a family affair.
The eldest of Sheen and Tennant kids Lily Mo and Ty - actors in their own rights
made an appearance each on STAGED.

and a post-screening Q&A with Neil Gaiman at the Arclight (RIP) where he talks the chemistry and acting prowess of Sheen and Tennant.
thinking about how in gomens 1 aziraphale and crowley have to work together to stop the antichrist from destroying the universe and how in gomens 2 aziraphale and crowley have to work together to make two lesbians fall in love jane austen/romcom style. and season 2 was somehow STILL more heartbreaking
To everyone in the tags begging Neil Gaiman to continue Good Omens to season 3, I’m sure he’d like nothing more than to do so but the truth is the problem is with Amazon itself and the AMPTP, they are out here thinking they can use A.I and treat their writers like shit and they are the ones who are actively not negotiating because they want another yacht or to go into space. Support the writers, kids, write to Amazon and ask them to come back to the table.
Please keep and protect Sir Derek Jacobi and guard him against all evils until long, long after the writers' and actors' strike ends. It's very important to the mental health of the human race that we see him in Good Omens Season 3, eventually, after the strike is resolved to the satisfaction of all the creatives who deserve fair pay.
‘Good Omens’ Renewed for Third and Final Season at Amazon
By Jennifer Maas
The end of the world is really coming this time: “Good Omens” has been renewed for a third and final season at Amazon.
Created by Neil Gaiman and based on the novel co-written by Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, “Good Omens” follows the friendship between the fussy angel and rare-book dealer Aziraphale and fast-living demon Crowley, a pair of apocalypse-fighting, millennia-long best friends played by Michael Sheen and David Tennant, respectively.
The first season of the series debuted on Amazon’s Prime Video in 2019. At the time, it was intended as a limited series. But the show was renewed for a second season in 2021, which is when Gaiman revealed he had hatched the idea for a sequel with Pratchett before his death in 2015.
The second season debuted in July — amid the now-ended writers and actors strikes — and ended on a massive cliffhanger that suggested Gaiman had more planned before this heavenly tale was done. (He also tweeted as much.)
The third and final season of “Good Omens” will begin filming soon in Scotland.
“I’m so happy finally to be able to finish the story Terry and I plotted in 1989 and in 2006,” Gaiman said in a statement accompanying Amazon’s “Good Omens” Season 3 renewal announcement Thursday. “Terry was determined that if we made ‘Good Omens’ for television, we could take the story all the way to the end. Season One was all about averting Armageddon, dangerous prophecies, and the End of the World. Season Two was sweet and gentle, although it may have ended less joyfully than a certain Angel and Demon might have hoped. Now in Season Three, we will deal once more with the end of the world. The plans for Armageddon are going wrong. Only Crowley and Aziraphale working together can hope to put it right. And they aren’t talking.”
Amazon MGM Studios head of television said Vernon Sanders added: “’Good Omens’ has checked every box for a clever, witty, and funny comedy that not only made it a success on Prime Video, but also made ‘goodness’ watchable and fun thanks to Neil and Terry’s immense creativity. The final season is sure to be packed with the same dynamic energy that our global customers have come to enjoy.”
Gaiman, who has a first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios, where he is currently working on his “Anansi Boys” TV series, continues as executive producer, writer and showrunner for “Good Omens” Season 3. Rob Wilkins of Narrativia, representing Pratchett’s estate, and BBC Studios Productions’ head of comedy Josh Cole also executive produce.
“Good Omens” hails from Amazon MGM Studios, BBC Studios Productions, the Blank Corporation and Narrativia.
You mean like a sudden rainstorm forces them together beneath the canopy. They look into each other's eyes, and realize they were made for each other. | "dogfish" by mary oliver
