Another Gaiman adaptation, The Sandman, premiered on Netflix over the summer. Gaiman credits Good Omens with helping greenlight The Sandman, saying that it took him "having show-run Good Omens and everybody suddenly going, 'Oh, he's not just the writer who is this weird thing that we need to keep as far away from this as possible. He's a showrunner and he made this and he understands this stuff, so why don't we bring him in?'"
Good Omens will hit Prime Video next summer.
