However, their peaceful existence is threatened as they face the daunting task of averting the arrival of the Antichrist, an event that would trigger the ultimate conflict known as Armageddon.
Recently, Neil Gaiman shed light on the timeline of Good Omens season 2, revealing that a significant period has elapsed since the conclusion of the first season. Responding to inquiries on his personalTumblraccount, Gaiman confirmed that the new season takes place a few years later.
“It takes place a few years after the end of Season 1. It feels like it’s probably in more or less real time, which would mean it’s four years on.”
