Rutger published: David Tennant Discusses Good Omens' Return Amidst Controversy
David Tennant recently opened up about what's on deck in *Good Omens*, even as its original creator faces some tough controversies. ## The future holds new challenges In October, Amazon Prime Video revealed that *Good Omens* would wrap up its third season with an extended 90-minute finale. This news came on heels after Neil Gaiman, who played a pivotal role as showrunner, stepped away following some serious allegations against him. Gaiman, who co-wrote *Good Omens* with Terry Pratchett, stands accused by eight women. He's denied these accusations, insisting all his interactions have been consensual. ## A glimpse from David Tennant On April 27th, David Tennant, who charms us as Crowley alongside Michael Sheen's Aziraphale, sat down with ITV's *The Assembly*. This program, led by neurodivergent interviewers, isn't afraid tackle any topic. When asked about how these allegations and Gaiman's exit might affect things, Tennant reassured fans that their beloved series isn't going anywhere. He spoke with excitement about returning, saying, "We're doing *Good Omens* again. We're heading back, gearing up, and wrapping with a finale." He acknowledged some changes in personnel but remained optimistic. Tennant added, "It would've been tough leaving it on a cliffhanger, so I'm relieved it's all coming together." Notably, he sidestepped directly addressing allegations against Gaiman. ## *Good Omens*: its production and impactful legacy Though filming has wrapped on this feature-length finale, we're still waiting on a release date. Since its debut in 2019 and comeback in 2023, *Good Omens* has gained recognition, especially applauded by audiences who appreciate its inclusive LQBTQ+ themes. The relationship between Crowley and Aziraphale, portrayed as both genderqueer and romantically inclined, really strikes a chord with many. In wake continued fallout surrounding Gaiman, several related projects took hits. Netflix's *The Sandman*, which kicked off in 2022, will conclude with season two. Likewise, *Dead Boy Detectives*, tied in that universe, met its end after just one season in 2024. ## Tennant on inclusivity and addressing JK Rowling During his *The Assembly* interview, Tennant was also asked about JK Rowling and ongoing discussions around her views on transgender issues. Tennant responded thoughtfully, saying, "JK Rowling's crafted some amazing stories and I harbor her no ill will, but I hope we can all work towards a society where folks can just be themselves without others' interference." His response highlights broader themes around inclusion and acceptance, ever present through Tennant's work and public personas. ## Looking ahead As fans eagerly anticipate *Good Omens*' grand finale, Tennant's dedication shines through, keeping with its inclusive spirit. Gaiman's departure definitely shifts tides, but cast and crew seem resolute, promising more humor, fantasy, and heartfelt stories. What's your take? We'd love hear your thoughts, so please share in comments below. Let's keep it respectful, lively.
