Deadline has confirmed the cast for Good Omens' second season, currently shooting in Scotland.

Neil Gaiman, writer and co-showrunner, said : "We are so thrilled that we were able to get so many fabulous actors to return to the Good Omens family. Some of them are reprising roles, some of them are playing completely new characters. And we are just as thrilled by the people coming to the Good Omens team for the first time. We have an ensemble cast of astonishing talent, and seeing what they're giving us is a daily treat. I can't wait until the rest of the world gets that treat, too."

Douglas Mackinnon, director and co-showrunner, added: "We are happily working our way through filming Good Omens 2 in Scotland and these new cast arrivals will only increase the pleasure of it all. The remarkable Scottish crew are loving making the magic that is Good Omens and we can't wait to share our stories with the world."
