Good Omens creator Neil Gaiman has teased David Tennant's reaction to the second season of the fantasy-comedy series.

The Amazon Prime Video series is due to return to screens in July, with Gaiman revealing that both Tennant and co-star Michael Sheen had seen a cut of the six episodes.

“They’ve both been sent it,” he said on Tumblr. “I know David has seen it because he left me a stunned video message about how he only planned to watch the first episode and watched the whole thing and how wonderful it was.

“Michael has been directing his first TV series, and I don’t think he’s had a spare 5 hours to watch anything yet, although I know he wants to,” he continued, before adding that Jon Hamm had seen and “loved” the season.

The second season has expanded its cast with the acquisition of Tennant’s son, Ty, and father-in-law, Peter Davison. Ty, who also starred in House of the Dragon, will reportedly play a character called Ennon; Davison, best known for his role as the Fifth Doctor in Doctor Who, will play Alistair.

Whilst specific details for the upcoming episodes remain scarce, Amazon released a logline for the series which reads: “Having been on Earth since The Beginning and with the Apocalypse thwarted, Aziraphale and Crowley are getting back to easy living amongst mortals in London’s Soho when an unexpected messenger presents a surprising mystery.”

The six episodes, which will release simultaneously on July 28, will feature “storylines that go beyond the original source material to illuminate the uncanny friendship between Aziraphale, a fussy angel and rare book dealer, and the fast-living demon Crowley.”

Good Omens season 1 is streaming now on Prime Video, where season 2 will premiere on July 28.
