If ‘Good Omens’ Left a Void in Your Soul, These Shows Are the Perfect Antidote
With its final 90-minute episode landing on Prime Video on May 13, 2026, ‘Good Omens’ has officially come to a close after more than seven years on screen. ‘Good Omens’ reached number 5 worldwide on Prime Video within just two days of its finale dropping, landing at number 4 in both the United States and the United Kingdom. For a show built on the friendship between an angel and a demon, that kind of gravitational pull over audiences feels entirely on-brand.
‘Good Omens‘ holds an 86% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes alongside a 94% audience score, and despite its great reception, it remains one of Prime Video’s more underrated offerings. Whether you loved every minute of the finale or felt the ending left too much on the table, one thing is clear: the supernatural comedy fantasy space it occupied is not easily replaced. Here are the shows most worth your time when the credits finally roll.
The Neil Gaiman Adaptation Universe Worth Exploring
For fans who fell in love with the specific flavour of wit and mythology that defines ‘Good Omens’, the best starting point is the broader Gaiman universe on screen. ‘The Sandman’ on Netflix, based on Gaiman’s DC comics, follows Morpheus, the personification of dreams and nightmares, as he escapes a century of imprisonment at human hands and works to regain control of his realm. The show carries that same sense of ancient beings navigating a modern world with quietly devastating consequences.
‘American Gods’ is a dark and visually stunning fantasy series that follows Shadow Moon, a man drawn into a world of ancient gods who have lost their influence as new gods gain power. Both shows explore the existence of deities and their complicated relationships with the mortal world. ‘American Gods’ picked up two Primetime Emmy nominations and three Critics’ Choice Award nods during its three-season run.
Other Neil Gaiman adaptations like ‘Good Omens’ and ‘American Gods’ are also stories that deal with family, the dangers of meddling with the gods, and the pros and cons of magic and power. If you have been sleeping on any of these, consider this your official wake-up call.
Angel and Demon TV Shows That Nail the Tone
Fans of the Aziraphale and Crowley dynamic will find the most satisfying echo of it in ‘Lucifer’, which ran for six seasons on Netflix. The show reimagines the Devil as a charming and suave nightclub owner, with Lucifer Morningstar becoming a consultant for the LAPD, and its exploration of redemption, free will, and the complexities of morality resonates with what ‘Good Omens’ does so well.
‘Miracle Workers’ is an anthology show starring Daniel Radcliffe, Steve Buscemi, and Geraldine Viswanathan, and its first season follows a low-level angel responsible for handling humanity’s prayers who must deal with God’s decision to destroy Earth and start a new project somewhere else in the universe.
That premise is almost absurdly close to the comedic register ‘Good Omens’ lives in. ‘Constantine’ is a dark and supernatural drama that follows John Constantine, a cynical occult detective gifted with the ability to see demons and angels, as he battles the forces of darkness while seeking redemption for his soul. It is darker in tone, but the moral complexity will feel immediately familiar to any devoted fan of Crowley’s particular shade of grey.
Supernatural Comedy Series with That Distinct British Soul
‘Doctor Who’ carries a very similar energy to ‘Good Omens’, especially in terms of its leading characters running around attempting to save Earth and other universes, with lessons in compassion and sacrifice woven into the adventure. David Tennant’s history with the show makes this recommendation carry an extra layer of delight for those who discovered him through Crowley first.
‘What We Do in the Shadows’ might not deal directly with Heaven and Hell, but the FX mockumentary series follows three vampire roommates dealing with the oddities of the modern world while interacting with other supernatural creatures, and it is very much in the comedic lane.
The show’s ability to treat immortal beings as fumbling, relatable creatures is something ‘Good Omens’ does brilliantly, and ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ shares that same irreverent instinct. ‘Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency’ follows an eccentric detective who solves cases through holistic detection based on a belief in the fundamental interconnectedness of all things, and both it and ‘Good Omens’ embrace the supernatural and explore the idea that seemingly unrelated events are intricately tied together.
Philosophical Fantasy That Asks the Big Questions
Nothing on television leans into the moral and philosophical territory of ‘Good Omens’ quite like ‘The Good Place’. The premise of ‘The Good Place’ follows Eleanor Shellstrop, a woman who lived a not-so-morally-good life, as she finds herself in a Heaven-like utopia to which only a select handful of people get access, doing her best to hide the fact that she should not be there. The show ran for four seasons on NBC and remains one of the most thoughtful comedies ever made about what it means to be good.
‘Supernatural’ deals with celestial and demonic forces in a way that fans of ‘Good Omens’ will find deeply familiar, and the dynamics between the Winchester brothers mirror the chemistry between Crowley and Aziraphale in their banter and deep bond. The show ran for fifteen seasons and built one of the most devoted fanbases in television history.
‘The Good Place’ and ‘Supernatural’ represent two of the highest-voted fan recommendations for viewers seeking something to watch after finishing ‘Good Omens’, which speaks to just how much both shows share in terms of emotional and thematic DNA.
Each of them fills a specific part of the hole that ‘Good Omens’ leaves behind, whether you miss the humor, the mythology, or the bittersweet heart of it all. If you have already worked through this list and are still feeling the absence of Aziraphale and Crowley, let us know in the comments which show came closest to scratching that very specific itch.
