David Tennant and Michael Sheen have been cast as the leads in Amazon’s production of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens.

Sheen will be playing Aziraphale, a rather fussy angel, and Tennant will be Crowley, the demon who isn’t too keen on the end of the world in the six part TV series set to appear next year.

“I first read Good Omens as a teenager and it’s been one of my favourite stories ever since,” Sheen said in a statement to Variety who broke the story. “To be part of the team entrusted with bringing it alive on screen is a bit of a dream come true to be honest. To work alongside Neil, who I think is one of the greatest storytellers of all time, is incredibly exciting. And, just like the rest of the world, I’m a huge fan of David’s so I relish trying to save it with him.”
