![]() ![]() Richardson played Madame Tracy in season one, and even though her story was concluded, Neil Gaiman was so keen to bring her back, he wrote her a shiny new character. Outside of Good Omens, you’ll know Maggie Service as the floor manager in Quiz, and Nina Sosanya from Last Tango in Halifax, Channel 4 prison drama Screw, and the Olympics-themed Doctor Who episode “Fear Her”. Maggie is altogether more gentle and less sure of herself, rather unsuccessfully running the record shop next door to Aziraphale. Nina, who runs the amusingly named “Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death” coffee shop opposite Aziraphale’s bookshop – is grumpy, unlucky in love and sharp-tongued enough to best even Crowley in a war of words. CHARACTERS WITH CHANGING ROLES Nina Sosanya & Maggie Service as… Nina & MaggieĪfter putting in a memorable performance as the slightly daft satanic nuns Sister Loquacious and Sister Garrulous in season one, Good Omens didn’t want a little thing like all the nuns being killed by the demon Hastur stop him from casting Nina Sosanya and Maggie Service in season two. Outlander fans may also recognise him as Governor Tryon. He’s played by comedy actor Tim Downie, best known for playing Danny Bear in Toast of London and Kit Marlowe in Shakespeare comedy Upstart Crow. This particular Mr Brown is part of the Whickber Street shopkeepers’ group of which Aziraphale is a member. So she’s thrilled to be sent on a mission that allows her to visit Earth for the first time, disguising herself (not very well) as a policeman to investigate some unusual happenings at Aziraphale’s bookshop.Įvery organisation has a Mr Brown – an officious stickler for the rules who acts like he runs the place. Quelin Sepulveda as MurielĪlthough Sepulveda is a relative newcomer to television (her only TV credit so far is Vicki in The Man Who Fell To Earth last year), you’ll instantly fall in love with her as the adorable Muriel.Ĭompared to the other heavenly new faces, she’s decidedly unimportant in the pecking order: a “37th order scrivener” (basically: she does the filing), she’s naive, curious and very bored, and just wishing for an adventure. Liz Carr (pictured above, right) is best-known for playing the dry-humoured forensic examiner Clarissa in long-running BBC crime drama Silent Witness, as well as her role as Fenn in The Witcher. She’s smart enough to let Uriel and Michael scrap, waiting patiently in the wings to pounce at the opportune moment. Michael’s second rival is Saraquael, heaven’s head of security, and nothing gets past this no-nonsense, supremely sarcastic angel. You’ll recognise Obianyo (pictured above, third from left) if you’re a fan of the National Theatre and Old Vic live recordings (most recently she starred as Neoptolemus in Greek legend adaptation Paradise) and she also played the young Oyin in ITV drama Riches earlier this year. An obvious choice for top dog is Michael (Doon Mackichan, Smack The Pony, pictured above, left) who returns to season two along with Derek Jacobi as The Metatron, but not if newcomer Uriel gets their way. Gabriel going AWOL creates a classic power void in heaven, with some of the more senior celestial staff battling it out for the top spot in a far from angelic way. Then there’s Jason Isaacs, who played Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films but has become more involved in video games lately, playing roles in both The Last Worker and Marvel’s Midnight Suns.BRAND NEW CHARACTERS Gloria Obianyo as Uriel ![]() Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man films, as well as voicing Omni-Man in Invincible. There are a couple of Hollywood stars in the cast too. Matt Mercer is someone you may recognize from Critical Role, but he has plenty of VA credits under his belt for games like Fallout 4 and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Niel Newborn has been in a huge variety of titles including Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Detroit: Become Human, and Final Fantasy 16. Some are storied voice actors for video games. As you can see, there’s a big mix of talents in this cast. ![]()
