British Acting Heavyweights Michael Sheen and David Tennant Cast in Upcoming Amazon Original Comedy-Horror Good Omens British acting heavyweights Michael Sheen and David Tennant cast in upcoming Amazon Original comedy-horror Good Omens August 15, 2017 Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s internationally best-selling novel will be brought to life by BBC Studios for Amazon Prime members globally; the 6-part drama will launch in 2019 Along with access to thousands of popular movies and TV episodes through Prime Video, Prime members across the UK benefit from unlimited One-Day Delivery, Prime Music, Prime Live Events, Prime Reading, Prime Photos, early access to Lightning Deals and more London, Tuesday 15 August 2017 – Amazon today announced that multi-award-winning actors Michael Sheen, OBE (Masters of Sex, Passengers) and David Tennant (Broadchurch, Doctor Who) are to star in Good Omens, the six-part humorous fantasy drama which will launch globally on Prime Video in 2019. It will launch in the UK on Prime Video before going on to BBC Two at a later date. The 6 x 1-hour equal parts comedy and horror series, which was greenlit in January 2017, is written by Neil Gaiman (American Gods), who will also serve as Showrunner. It is based on the well-loved and internationally bestselling novel ‘Good Omens’ by Terry Pratchett ( Hogfather) and Gaiman, and is being produced by BBC Studios, the BBC’s commercial production arm, Narrativa and The Blank Corporation, in association with BBC Worldwide. Sheen will star as the somewhat fussy angel and rare book dealer Aziraphale, and Tennant will play his opposite number, the fast living demon Crowley, both of whom have lived amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle and of each other. So it’s really terrible news for both of them that, if Heaven and Hell have their way, the world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis has risen, tempers are flaring. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are ready to ride. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Expect that someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist... Good Omens will be brought to the screen by the highly acclaimed director Douglas Mackinnon, whose credits include Doctor Who, Outlander and the standalone Victorian episode of Sherlock: The Abominable Bride, winner of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie last year. Michael Sheen says: “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.” David Tennant says: “Michael Sheen, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett and directed by Douglas Mackinnon, it’s a dream team and a dream gig. I am very excited that I’ve been asked to be part of this amazing project. Bring on the Apocalypse!” Douglas Mackinnon, Director and Executive Producer says: “Ironically, given that it is a timeless novel, the Good Omens story stretches from the beginning of time to quite near the end of time. I am honoured to be working with Neil Gaiman (and Terry Pratchett in absentia) and directing such a wonderfully prestigious project for Amazon and BBC Studios. I hope to deliver an epic parcel of fun just before Armageddon arrives instead.” Neil Gaiman, Writer and Executive Producer says: "If you are looking for actors to play two of the best-loved characters you and Terry Pratchett ever created, then, if you are very lucky and have been very good, you will get Michael Sheen and David Tennant to bring them to life. The best Welsh actor of his generation gets to be an angel, the best Scottish actor of his, a demon. Terry and I wrote Good Omens (I like to think it's one of the funniest novels ever written about the end of the world and how we are all going to die) almost 30 years ago. It's strange that it feels more relevant now than it ever did before. I only wish that Terry could be here to see it come to life with such a fantastic team." Roy Price, Head of Amazon Studios and Prime Video content globally, said: “We could not have hoped for two better suited actors to take the roles in this highly-anticipated show. We look forward to seeing David and Michael make these roles their own, as they are sure to do, and look forward to bringing the show to Prime members around the world in 2019.” The Executive Producers of Good Omens are Neil Gaiman (American Gods) and Chris Sussman (Fleabag) for BBC Studios; Rob Wilkins (Choosing to Die) and Rod Brown (Going Postal) for Narrativia; and Douglas Mackinnon (Sherlock). Gaiman has adapted the novel for the screen. Good Omens will launch globally on Prime Video in 2019.

  • TCA: Buzz Trumps Ratings for Amazon
    TCA: Buzz Trumps Ratings For Amazon 08.03.2015 ​After a downright jovial series of TCA panels showing off Amazon's wares, during which the executives could be seen snapping selfies, the mood shifted to serious with Roy Price, head of Amazon Studios, Morgan Wandell, head of drama, and Joe Lewis, head of comedy. Fresh off the news that the streaming service has signed Woody Allen to create his first TV series and that Amazon has brought Top Gear's erstwhile (and controversial) trio Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May for a new car series, Price fielded many questions from critics concerned about Woody's past and the inappropriate behavior that led to Top Gear's ignominious end. Price only discussed Allen's filmmaking credentials and updated the project. The scripts for season one are just about done, and Price expects Allen to begin shooting at the end of the year, or the beginning of 2016, with an eye toward a premiere in the second half of 2016. Price refused to discuss the parameters of the deal with Clarkson and company, and merely stated, "We're bullish about the show and think it will turn out well." But how does Amazon define well in a land without ratings? While Price left the possibility of releasing some sort of numbers or rankings from time to time, it's clear that the number of viewers doesn't concern Amazon. "Internally we talk about the quality of the shows more than the numbers," Lewis said. "Viewership numbers can be distracting," Price said.
