FAQs

What is Crowley's gender in Good Omens? ›

In a tumblr post, Neil Gaiman wrote that he personally believes that Crowley is genderfluid. Crowley usually goes by he/him pronouns, but sometimes, when he presents himself as female, like when he was a nanny or while watching the crucifixion, he goes by she/her pronouns.

Season 2 of Good Omens feels unnecessary, lacking the chaotic charm and larger world of the first season. The stakes in Season 2 are null and void, with Heaven and Hell being uninspiring threats. Despite some merits, Season 2 fails to recapture the energy of Season 1 and struggles to justify its existence.

Before the Fall, Crowley is designing a new nebula system in the as yet unfinished universe. He flags down a passing Angel for help who turns out to be Aziraphale.

When asked just how much time has passed for Aziraphale and Crowley, the author has confirmed that a few years have passed before Jon Hamm's Archangel Gabriel turned up on Crowley's doorstep at the start of season 2. Check out Gaiman's explanation below: It takes place a few years after the end of Season 1.

Good Omens' defining trait is its amazing LGBTQ representation. As mentioned, the show centers around the queer couple Aziraphale and Crowley. And even before their romance was confirmed on screen, viewers have pointed out that their relationship has always been inherently queer.

God is referred to with she/her pronouns by Aziraphale, they/them pronouns by Crowley, Job, and Sitis, and “Father” by Jesus. Neil Gaiman also confirmed that God is extremely NOT binary and that he doesn't think that they have a gender.

Beelzebub was played by Anna Maxwell, and even though Beelzebub is coming back in Good Omens season 2, Maxwell isn't, so she was replaced with Shelley Conn. The reason for the recast was scheduling conflicts (via CinemaBlend), which is understandable as there was a four-year gap between seasons 1 and 2 of Good Omens.

Good Omens the series, being the first season, showed us that Crowley and Aziraphale loved each other—but it wasn't enough. And that sounds mad to me, as I'm saying it, because I'd never been allotted even a sliver of this previously in the things that I loved.

It'll be canonical for the TV series, and not canonical for the book. They don't contradict each other, but there is territory covered by the TV series that isn't covered by the book, particularly about Crowley and Aziraphale in bygone years. You'll learn, in the TV series, about their history through history.

Did Aziraphale or Crowley fall in love first? ›

Crowley fell first and harder tho for sure. Azi definitely had an instant crush on Crowley right at the start, but he didn't fall in love until 1941, then he knew just what he felt and continued to try and ignore it and pass it off as something else from then on.

Good Omens Season 2 features a long-awaited kiss between Aziraphale and Crowley, but it doesn't solve all their problems. The kiss serves as a last-ditch effort by Crowley to express his feelings for Aziraphale, but Aziraphale chooses to return to heaven.

As per Collider, Gaiman previously emphasized that “angels and demons are sexless and genderless,” and that their identities “can be interpreted as asexual, aromantic, or even transcendent of traditional gender norms.” The 63-year-old English writer also confirmed that Aziraphale and Crowley's story is a love story.

In the novel and the television show Good Omens, Crowley is 6000+ years old. It is stated, in both versions of the story, that he has been on earth for over 6000 years.

The name Crowley is a boy's name meaning "descendant of the hardy warrior". Although it looks like an English placename, the surname Crowley is an anglicization of the Irish O Cruadhlaoich.

Aziraphale and Crowley may be genderless, but they look like men and use male pronouns.

Still according to the wiki, Aziraphale, Gabriel, the Metatron and Sandalphon, who are all played by male actors, all use he/him pronouns (Sandalphon also goes by it). Michael, Uriel, Muriel and Saraquel, meanwhile, are played by actresses, and all go by they/them (Uriel also goes by he/him).
