Sam Taylor Buck will be playing Adam, the antichrist in the new adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens, which began filming this week.

Joining Taylor Buck in the Them, the group of friends who try to soften Adam’s satanic impulses are Amma Ris as Pepper, Ilan Galkoff as Brian and Alfie Taylor as Wensleydale.   

Also confirmed in the cast as the antichrist’s accidental parents are Daniel Mays (Line Of Duty, Against The Law, Born To Kill) who plays father Arthur Young and Sian Brooke (Sherlock, Doctor Foster) as his mother Deidre Young.

Commenting on his casting, Daniel Mays says: “Beyond overjoyed to be jumping on board Good Omens. It’s not everyday you get to play the father of the antichrist! Neil Gaiman’s scripts are out of this world and the cast they’ve assembled are second to none. Can’t wait to get cracking!”

Sian Brooke says: “I’m thrilled to be part of this fantastic adaptation of Good Omens and working with such a great team of cast and creatives.  It’s certainly going to be an adventure playing the unknowing mother of the antichrist!”
