Decades before shows like "Search Party" took an ever-shifting approach to the comedic TV format, "Laverne & Shirley" was switching things up season after season. The "Happy Days" spinoff started with a pretty consistent premise in its early seasons, focusing on two zany roommates working at a Milwaukee bottling company. By season 5, though, tomboy Laverne (Penny Marshall) and optimist Shirley (Cindy Williams) ended up in the Army Reserves, and season 6 saw them move to Burbank and work as department store gift wrappers. By the final season, Shirley was gone, and Laverne was working in the aerospace industry.

As wild as the twists and turns of "Laverne & Shirley" were, the show had some constants across its eight seasons, including the presence of neighbors Lenny (Michael McKean) and Squiggy (David Lander), Laverne's dad Frank (Phil Foster), and Shirley's fame-hungry ex, Carmine (Eddie Mekka). Most of the actors who made "Laverne & Shirley...

A couple weeks back, fans of the Prime Video show Good Omens — about an unlikely friendship between the angle Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (David Tennant) — got some bad news: no longer would the show's third and final season be...well, a season of TV. Instead, it will be one 90-minute episode that will wrap up all the stories the second season left dangling, most notably what will become of Aziraphale and Crowley now that they've parted ways, with Aziraphale returning to heaven to help plan the Second Coming and Crowley getting as far away from all that mess as he possibly can.

Fans have grown very attached to Aziraphale and Crowley, and many were upset with the news. The season is being cut down almost certainly because of a series of sexual assault allegations made against Neil Gaiman, who not only co-wrote the original Good Omens book...

I did wonder how well Good Omens would translate from book to screen. Well, it worked, and now we’re ready to see how it all comes to an end. Well, sort of. We’re not “ready” ready, but it does need an ending.

This is one of those series that can’t be duplicated. There isn’t anything else out there that matches the energy, but there are a fair few shows that come somewhat close. It all depends on the elements you want to gain from Good Omens in other works.

Here are six shows worth watching.

It's good news and bad news for fans of Good Omens as the show is coming back for season 3. Only it's a very shocking low episode count! Way less than you'd think. We've known for a while that the show was returning, but there have been little updates for months.

The third season hit a roadblock with the 2023 Hollywood strikes. And then, things got worse in the fall when accusations came out over Neil Gaiman, author of the novel the series is based on and writer on the show, being rough with women. While he has acknowledged being with those women, the author claims it was consensual. Gaiman offered to step away from the show in September of 2023. 

Despite the delays and controversy surrounding Gaiman, Good Omens season 3 is happening, and production will begin next year. However, instead of a regular season to wrap up the story, it's going to only be one,...

Good Omens viewers will see more of the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley, but considerably less than originally planned. Prime Video renewed the series for a third and final season in December 2023.

The story follows the adventures of fussy angel Aziraphale (Sheen) and fast-living demon Crowley (Tennant).

One of the most adored writers of our time, Neil Gaiman is renowned for his dark and inventive stories seen in comic books, novels, and film adaptations. Alan Moore’s Swamp Things inspired him to begin his career as a journalist in the 1980s before starting to write for DC Comics. It was while working for DC Comics, that he created the ground-breaking series The Sandman.

He immediately became well-known for his distinctive style, particularly in graphic novels where he gave horror and fantasy a twist. Numerous Gaiman stories have been made into movies and television shows. The adaptations won admirers all around the world. The list of his adaptations, ranked from worst to best, is given below.

The s-xual assault allegations against Neil Gaiman have proven to be nothing but bad omens for his show. A few months ago, it was revealed that the creator of Good Omens was being accused by two women of s-xual assault against them. Just a month later, two more women accused the author of the same. All allegations have been denied by Neil Gaiman, up till now.

Owing to the allegations against him, his beloved show Good Omens is currently in a predicament as it faces the possibility of getting a very undeserving and unfulfilling ending. Why? Well, it has been confirmed that instead of the announced season 3, fans will now have to settle for much, much less before the fantasy comedy comes to an end.

If you are a fan of fantasy reality TV shows, it is highly possible that Good Omens might be on your list of favorites. Starring Michael Sheen, David Tennant, and a huge ensemble cast from Jon Hamm to Benedict Cumberbatch, the series has been incredibly well received. From earning praise on its writing to acting, it is an absolutely unmissable one for fans of the genre.

Based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, its third and anticipated season is now facing a storm of controversy. At the center is its creator/showrunner, Gaiman, who has been accused of s*xual abuse by several women. Although the author has denied all allegations, maintaining his ‘romances’ were ‘consensual’, these revelations have placed Gaiman under intense scrutiny.

At the same time, these chilling accusations have impacted Good Omens as well,...

David Tennant and Michael Sheen will return for a final, feature length episode of Good Omens.

The television adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s fantasy series Good Omens has been hugely successful over the last few years, not least due to the chemistry and charisma of leading duo David Tennant and Michael Sheen. The second series, which debuted in August 2023, was reported to be the number one show on Amazon Prime worldwide, and the first season was hardly struggling for acclaim, either.

The show had been commissioned for a third series before serious abuse allegations about Neil Gaiman (who wrote the adaptation) were made public. Gaiman has strongly denied those allegations.

Production on several of Gaiman’s projects, including Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives, was halted, although it seems Netflix is still pressing ahead with the second series of The Sandman. You can read about the allegations here.

Good Omens fans were riding high after the success of Season 2, which hit Amazon Prime in July 2023. The quirky, genre-bending show had gained a cult following for its sharp wit, fantastic performances by David Tennant and Michael Sheen, and its unique spin on a story about the end of the world.

As fans eagerly awaited news about the third and final season, their anticipation quickly turned to shock and frustration. In an abrupt turn of events, fans were left dismayed, with many wondering why such a beloved series would be cut short and how it came to lose its guiding hand.

It’s hard to imagine Good Omens without Neil Gaiman’s distinctive storytelling. After all,...

Neil Gaiman is (mostly) exiting “Good Omens” amid some bad press.

The series creator, showrunner, executive producer, and writer has stepped aside from the show’s third season, which paused its pre-production amid assault allegations against Gaiman, according to Deadline.

Prime Video today has announced that “Good Omens” will return for a feature-length series finale that will be produced without Gaiman’s involvement — though he did help write it.

“While Gaiman has contributed to the writing of the ‘Good Omens’ series finale, he will not be working on the production,” the official press statement reads.

“Good Omens” stars Michael Sheen as an angel and David Tennant as a demon Crowley. Frances McDormand, Jon Hamm, and Miranda Richardson co-star. The series is adapted from Gaiman’s novel “Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch,” co-written with Terry Pratchett. Season 3 is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, BBC Studios Productions,...

If you're a fan of Prime Video's Good Omens and have been eagerly awaiting more odd-couple bickering between Michael Sheen's angel Aziraphale and David Tennant's demon Crowley, then we've got some good news, some bad news, and some ongoing troubling news for you. The good news is, per Deadline's reporting, a 90-minute follow-up to that emotional Season 2 finale is heading our way at long last, with shooting due to begin in Scotland early next year The bad news then is that said hour-and-a-half episode is coming instead of rather than in addition to the third and final season of the show that was announced last December.

The cause for the shake-up to Good Omens' divine plans isn't a reflection of the show's popularity or critical reception — by all means it continues to be one of the better reviewed and beloved adaptations of Terry Pratchett's fantasy work. Rather...

Good Omens will return for season 3, but it'll be quite a bit different than what was originally planned. TV Line reports that they've learned from inside sources that the third season of Prime Video's hit fantasy show is going through a bit of a restructure. Instead of being multiple episodes long like the previous two seasons, Good Omens' third and final outing will only consist of one 90-minute episode. In other words, the show is going out with a TV movie.

This almost certainly comes about as a result of the ongoing sexual assault allegations against author Neil Gaiman, who co-authored the original Good Omens novel with beloved Discworld creator Terry Pratchett and was set to serve as the sole showrunner for the television show's final season. Back in early September, Prime Video paused work on Good Omens season 3 over these allegations, with Gaiman offering to step away from the...

Good Omens, which paused production on its third and final season amid the sexual assault allegations against its author Neil Gaiman, will instead wrap up the series with a 90-minute episode.

Amazon Prime Video initially renewed Good Omens for its final season last year following the arrival of Season Two in July 2023. However, since then, at least five women have come forward with accusations against Gaiman, including allegations of “rough and degrading sex” and coercion.

Soon after, production on the series’ third season was halted, with Gaiman offering to step...

There’s an update about the final season of Prime Video’s Good Omens after the show was renewed for a third season last year.

If you don’t know, showrunner Neil Gaiman faced allegations earlier this year of sexual assault. A 23-year-old woman alleged he sexually assaulted her, and he responded claiming their three-week long relationship was consensual.

He’s faced more allegations since then, and “denies any unlawful behaviour.”

Now, news about his show has been revealed.

The third season of Good Omens will only have 1 episode, and it will be 90 minutes long, TVLine reports. The site notes that he did help write the episode but will not be involved in the show’s production for the final ep.

The Prime Video series Good Omens covered the events of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter (buy a copy Here) in the six episode first season – but last year, we got a second season that went beyond the events of the book, and then the show was renewed for a third and final season. Good Omens season 3 ran into trouble when sexual assault allegations were made against Gaiman. Pre-production was paused and we heard that Amazon was having discussions about possible production changes. Now, Deadline reports that they’ve reached a decision on what they’re going to do about Good Omens. The plan to make a full third season has been scrapped, and instead the show will get one 90-minute send-off episode.

Good Omens will get a proper ending, but it will be with a shorter final season than expected. The Prime Video series, which was originally going to be ending with a third and final season, will be wrapping up with one 90-minute episode. Neil Gaiman, who co-wrote the book on which it’s based with Terry Pratchett, will not be working on production following allegations of sexual assault against him. He has contributed to the writing of the series finale. Production on the episode is expected to begin in early 2025 in Scotland. It will “bring to life a serendipitous conversation from almost 35 years ago, between the late Sir Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, where they mapped out ‘what happens next’ to the wonderful characters in the world of their internationally best-selling novel,” according to Prime Video. The series follows Michael Sheen‘s angel Aziraphale and David Tennant‘s demon Crowley,...

The third and final season of “Good Omens” is set to move forward at Prime Video after being paused following sexual assault allegations made against showrunner Neil Gaiman.

The final installment, which was previously announced back in December, will begin production in early 2025 and be reduced to one 90-minute episode starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant, who return as the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley, respectively.

It will also bring a serendipitous conversation from almost 35 years ago to life between the late Sir Terry Pratchett and Gaiman, where they mapped out what happens next to the characters in the world of their internationally best-selling novel, according to the streamer.

The finale will be executive produced by Amazon MGM Studios, BBC Studios Productions’ head of comedy Josh Cole and Narrativia’s Rob Wilkins, who represents Pratchett’s estate. While Gaiman has contributed to the writing of the finale, he will not be working on the production.

“Good Omens” Season 3 will be just one episode and will move forward without Neil Gaiman, Variety has learned.

It was previously announced that Season 3 of the Amazon Prime Video series, which is based on the book of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Gaiman, would be the show’s last. However, production was paused on the third season in September after Gaiman was accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

Now, Prime Video has confirmed that Season 3 will consist of one 90-minute episode, with production expected to resume in early 2025 in Scotland. According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Gaiman had contributed to the writing of the series finale, but he will not be working on the show once production resumes. He is also no longer listed among the show’s executive producers for the final episode.

“Good Omens” first debuted on Prime Video in 2019, with Gaiman originally credited as creator,...

The saga of Aziraphale and Crowley will end much sooner than anyone expected.

Good Omens’ third and final season will consist of just one, 90-minute episode, TVLine has learned. And though showrunner Neil Gaiman contributed to the episode’s writing, he will not work on the production.

Gaiman’s limited role behind...

Good Omens is getting a final send-off, albeit a truncated one.

The Amazon fantasy drama will end with one 90-minute episode in lieu of a full third season with creator Neil Gaiman exiting after allegations were made against him by a slew of women.

Michael Sheen and David Tennant, play the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley, respectively, will return for the one-off television movie, which will begin shooting in early 2025 in Scotland, after pre-production was paused due to the allegations.

Gaiman contributed to the writing of the series finale but will not be working on the production and his production company the Blank Corporation is no longer involved. A new writer is expected to finish up the work, although insiders said that deal has not been closed.

This comes after Tortoise Media released a podcast that chronicled accounts of two women, with whom he was in consensual relationships, who accused him of sexual assault.

The third and final season of Good Omens at Prime Video will stretch — or maybe shrink — the definition of “season” in TV terms.

The Amazon-owned streamer announced Thursday that the series, which stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant and is based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s novel, will end with a single, feature-length episode. The 90-minute installment is set to begin production early next year in Scotland.

Prime Video also noted that Gaiman won’t be involved in production on the series ender (though he did contribute to its writing). Earlier this year, five women accused the author of sexual assault; their claims are detailed in a podcast titled Master: The Allegations Against Neil Gaiman. He has denied any wrongdoing but offered to step away from the final Good Omens to let the production go forward and conclude the story.

The streamer renewed Good Omens for a final...

The third season of Amazon Prime Video’s Good Omenshas been turned into one final 90-minute episode instead of the full season that was initially greenlit in December 2023.

Filming will take place in Scotland in early 2025, as planned.

The fate of the show was thrown into question after its executive producer, writer and showrunner Neil Gaiman was the subject of allegations of sexual assault by several women, originally published on UK news platform Tortoise Media last summer. Gaiman denies the allegations.

As THR unveils its annual list of the most powerful women in international television, the global industry finds itself at a crossroads. It’s been a rough year. Layoffs at nearly every studio and major production company have highlighted the overall contraction in the market and signal a broad shift in priorities away from growth at all costs to a laser focus on the bottom line. Against this backdrop, the executives on this list have had to find ways to do more with less, to restructure their business operations, question long-established practices, and create new ways forward — all without abandoning the core principles of equity and inclusion that got them this far.

As the global entertainment industry continues to evolve, the leadership of these powerful women, and their vision, will be crucial in shaping its future. Jane Turton, CEO of production juggernaut All3Media, has this advice for young women entering the business: “Be yourself.

Liz Carr, known for starring in the third season of the fantasy comedy “Good Omens” and playing a forensic scientist in the crime drama “Silent Witness,” supports the U.S. government’s refusal to outright legalize euthanasia in the nation.

The actress and disability rights activist argued how these programs may have cultural implications on the lives of people with disabilities. Arguing, “For somebody who loses their job or a loved one and is left feeling suicidal, others will rally around and support them with suicide prevention help,” she said to Daily Mail, “But as soon as that’s a disabled or ill person, people think it’s fine for them to have a medically-assisted death. They think it’s better to be dead than to be disabled.”

Legalizing such an option, she believes, might encourage disabled people to end their lives prematurely with the belief they must “stop being a burden” to those around them.

Having previously bought Moriarty adaptation Apples Never Fall, the BBC has snapped The Last Anniversary up for iPlayer in a deal with distributor Fifth Season.

Moriarty’s book is set on Scribbly Gum Island, a place of many secrets.

Neil Gaiman is synonymous with The Sandman, both the DC comics he created and the Netflix series based on them, on which he is an executive producer. Ahead of the show’s 2022 launch, the streamer even released a video playing up Gaiman’s wonder at touring the sets, following him as he marveled at seeing his creations in physical form for the first time.

So when Netflix put out a behind-the-scenes peek at The Sandman Season 2 on Thursday, Gaiman’s absence from the video was notable — particularly in light of recent sexual assault allegations made against the beloved fantasy author.

Netflix revealed a behind-the-scenes first look on Thursday of Season 2 of “The Sandman,” the ongoing adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s DC graphic novel series, as part of the streamer’s Geeked Week promotional efforts. The season will involve the “Season of Mists” storyline from the comics, in which Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie) abdicates control of Hell and presents Morpheus, aka Dream (Tom Sturridge), with the key to its gates, causing many immortals to try to convince Morpheus to give the key to them.

The behind the scenes featurette provides a first look at one of those contingents: the Norse gods Thor (Laurence O’Fuarain), Loki (Freddie Fox) and Odin (Clive Russell), who attend what executive producer and showrunner Allan Heinberg calls a “banquet” that Dream throws “for all the visiting deities and gods and fairies.”

The featurette also teases the introduction of Dream’s other siblings: Destiny (Adrian Lester), Delirium (Esmé Creed-Miles...

The legacy of Mad Men makes it uniquely qualified to be ranked as one of the best television shows of all time. The AMC drama that launched the career of Jon Hamm also ushered in the second Golden Age of television at the same time. At its core, the hard-hitting and intense show may have left its viewers mollified in a lackluster era of bad TV but Mad Men helped launch a revolution that heralded scripts like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Boardwalk Empire, and The Walking Dead.

For better or worse, Mad Men’s influence has created a teachable moment in both the real world as well as the high-end entertainment sector. While the series could have enjoyed a lavish stay at HBO, studio politics and a changing of the old guard led Matthew Weiner to take his script to the studio next door.

Last week, Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin came out guns blazing against House of the Dragon, the prequel show based on his book Fire & Blood. We did not expect one of the world's most prominent authors to be in a public feud with the adapting his book, but we can't call it boring.

Anyway, the feud continued this week, with Martin throwing shade — intentional or otherwise — at House of the Dragon while executives told reporters that they were "frustrated but not surprised" by Martin's critiques. Is there anywhere to go from here? Is there any chance Martin's strategy works and the House of the Dragon sticks closer to his book? Or is he just burning any bridge he comes across? We dig into it in a new episode of Take the Black. Watch below!

Authors are all over the news this week. On a more serious note, we...

Neil Gaiman has reportedly offered to step down from his showrunner role on Good Omens following news that the series’ third and final season is in jeopardy amid the sexual assault allegations against the author.

Amazon Prime Video renewed Good Omens for its third and final season last year following the arrival of Season Two in July 2023. However, since then, at least five women have come forward with accusations against Gaiman, including allegations of “rough and degrading sex” and coercion.

Deadline first reported that, following news of the allegations, pre-production...

Emily Maitlis has now watched both Gillian Anderson and Ruth Wilson portray her onscreen in the space of just six months.

The former BBC Newsnight presenter is renowned in British journalism but to many around the globe, she might be more recognizable as the woman who sat down with a seemingly nervous Prince Andrew in 2019 to probe the royal family member on his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Prime Video’s A Very Royal Scandal, airing exclusively on Amazon on Sept. 19, follows the infamous interview, how it came to fruition, and the aftermath. The three-episode series — which, unlike Netflix, boasts Maitlis as executive producer — more closely follows the two characters at the heart of the story: a reporter intent on unearthing the truth in Maitlis and the late Queen’s second son, who finds himself desperate to broadcast his version of events and unwittingly further derails the public’s relationship with the monarchy.

Over the last few months, iconic author Neil Gaiman — the man behind works like The Sandman and American Gods — has been accused of “non-consensual sex” and “sexual assault” by five women. Tortoise Media ran a story on two of them back in July. Later that month, another came forward on the Am I Broken: Survivor Stories podcast. And at the beginning of August, two more came forward on Tortoise Media's podcast.

Gaiman is an incredibly influential author who had several shows and movies based on his books and comics either in the works or already airing. Disney has now canceled a planned movie adaptation of his novel The Graveyard Book, and Amazon Prime Video has put the third and final season of Good Omens — an extension of the book of the same name Gaiman co-wrote with the late Terry Pratchett — on hold.

Good Omens, about the millennia-long relationship between an angel and demon,...
