Both David Tennant (“Doctor Who”, “Jessica Jones”) and Michael Sheen (Underworld, The Twilight Saga) have joined the cast of Amazon’s book-to-series adaptation of Good Omens, the apocalyptic fantasy novel from Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, per Variety. The series is apparently going to feature six one-hour episodes.
Per the site:
The show is set in 2018 on the brink of an apocalypse as humanity prepares for a final judgment. But Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a demon, aren’t enthusiastic about the end of the world, and can’t seem to find the Antichrist. Sheen will play the role of Aziraphale, while Tennant will play Crowley.”
Sheen told the site, “I first read ‘Good Omens’ as a teenager and it’s been one of my favourite stories ever since. To be part of the team entrusted with bringing it alive on screen is a bit of a dream come true to be honest. To work alongside Neil, who I think is one of the greatest storytellers of all time, is incredibly exciting. And, just like the rest of the world, I’m a huge fan of David’s so I relish trying to save it with him.”
