Good Omens Season 2: All actors & characters
Amazon Prime VideoGood Omens features all of heaven and hell, so naturally there’s a lot of characters to get through. Here’s the major cast list.
Good Omens was a huge hit when it launched on Amazon in May 2019, and the delightful fantasy series has finally returned to our screens in 2023. The first season, which directly adapted the Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett novel of the same name, told the story of the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (David Tennant).

But they obviously aren’t the only two characters in the show. And Season 2 brings us more faces, along with different sides to the faces we already know. So here’s our guide to all the major characters and actors you should know for Good Omens Season 2.

Good Omens Season 2: Major cast & characters
Here is your guide of all the major characters for Season 2; characters that you should know about, along with their actors and where you’ve seen them before.
There are some new and old faces in the cast, particularly amongst the human characters. So check out our list below, and let’s get into it.
Aziraphale – Michael Sheen
Aziraphale, at first glance, is a mild-mannered if slightly naïve angel, who resides on Earth as a Heaven emissary. However, there is more to the angel than meets the eye, especially since he paired up with Demon Crowley to stop the apocalypse last season.
Michael Sheen plays the character, and has extensive experience in cinema. He can be seen in the Twilight Saga, The Queen, Frost/Nixon, and Midnight in Paris.
Crowley – David Tennant
Crowley is everyone’s favourite demon, serving as Hell’s envoy on Earth, which makes him Aziraphale’s counterpart. Thankfully, he likes Aziraphale, much more so than the other demons he works with, hence why he turns against them in Season 1, and essentially gets fired.
David Tennant plays Crowley, though his most famous role is likely the Doctor in Doctor Who. He’s also in Jessica Jones, Mary Queen of Scots, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Gabriel – Jon Hamm
Gabriel is essentially Aziraphale’s boss. As his superior and overseer, this Archangel is rather blunt and looks down on his employee. However, Season 2 takes this character for a turn, as he shows up at Aziraphale’s door on Earth with no memories and no clothes.
Gabriel is played by Jon Hamm, best known as Don Draper in Mad Men. He also appears in Sucker Punch, Baby Driver, and Top Gun: Maverick.
Muriel – Quelin Sepulveda
Muriel is an “innocent and inquisitive” angel, who has been stuck in an office job for the past 6000 years. But that’s all set to change in Season 2, when she’s able to go to Earth, after being tasked to find Gabriel.
Quelin Sepulveda plays the role, and can also be seen in in Havoc and The Man Who Fell to Earth.
Maggie – Maggie Service
Maggie is set to be an interesting character, as she’s actually the character that Neil Gaiman is most excited for viewers to see.
Maggie Service actually played another character in Good Omens, her previous role being the satanic nun Sister Theresa Garrulous in Season 1. Service is also very experienced in the theatre world.
Nina – Nina Sosanya
Nina is another new character. She is a coffee shop owner, with her store being conveniently located near Aziraphale’s bookstore in Soho.
Nina Sosanya’s previous filmography includes Red Joan, Killing Eve, and Love Actually. She also appeared as Sister Mary Loquacious in Season 1 of Good Omens.
Beelzebub – Shelley Conn
Beelzebub is somewhat of an antagonist to both Aziraphale and Crowley, As a demon, they are very interested in the pain and suffering of others, and in Season 1 aimed for the destruction of the world.
Shelley Conn plays the role in Season 2, taking over from the original actress, Anna Maxwell Martin. Conn can also be seen in Bridgerton and as Liar.
Shax – Miranda Richardson
Shax is a demon that has taken over Crowley’s position in Hell after his dismissal. While she does help Crowley avoid his own responsibilities – as shown in this exclusive clip – it’s clear that she’s a force to be reckoned with, even if she appears rather reserved.
Miranda Richardson portrays Shax, after playing Madame Tracy in Season 1. She has also previously appeared in roles in Blackadder and Sleepy Hollow.
Michael – Doon Mackichan
Michael is an archangel known for her calculative and manipulative nature. She upholds the rules of heaven, no matter the sacrifices that must be made, and is very interested in tracking Gabriel down in Season 2.
Doon Mackichan plays Michael, and is also featured in Two Doors Down and The Sea Beast.
