It’s no secret that “Good Omens” fans have widely interpreted Crowley and Aziraphale’s centuries-long friendship as romantic, and the new season seems to be leaning into that with a cheeky heart-shaped-wings poster and a moment in the trailer that features Aziraphale getting flustered when asked if he had someone special in his life. When the season opens, though, it sounds like the pair is just beginning to explore what the world looks like when they don’t have to pretend to be enemies. “I mean Crowley’s living in the back of his car, which isn’t ideal,” Tennant says, “but they’re bumping along, and they can spend time together with less of the threat of being told off for it.”
Sheen calls the sudden appearance of Gabriel “a brilliant device,” noting that his appearance is certainly disruptive to Crowley and Aziraphale, who he says “are like a married couple, even though they’re a very odd couple, they do complement each other in all kinds of ways.” Tennant calls their scenario something akin to “two supernaturals and a baby,” a play on words from the ’80s comedy “Three Men And A Baby.” In that film, three bachelors find themselves in comical disarray when a baby shows up on their doorstep. For Crowley and Aziraphale, it seems like the last thing they would expect. “They suddenly have this person who’s dependent on them,” Sheen says. “It was a brilliant idea to have Gabriel suddenly show up with apparently no memory of who he is and to have them have to look after him and deal with him.”
