Good Omens stars Michael Sheen and David Tenant as the angel and the demon, along with a wide cast of guest stars, and while they've already stopped the birth of the antichrist in the first season, a new mystery is about to present itself.

Created by fantasy icon Neil Gaiman, and based on a book he co-wrote with Terry Pratchet, the first season was already a hit with fantasy fans, and now it's coming back for a surprise second season.

So here's how to watch Good Omens season 2 from wherever you are.

How to watch Good Omens season 2

You'll be able to watch season 2 of Good Omens using Prime Video, because the show was created by Amazon for its video streaming service. Unlike the first season, which was also aired by the BBC in the UK, it'll only be available on streaming.

The show debuts on Friday, July 28, so that's when you'll need to log into Prime Video to watch the show.

Prime Video is one of the many 'perks' of an Amazon Prime subscription, others of which include next-day Prime delivery on shopping, Amazon Music, Prime Gaming and many more.

You can subscribe to Amazon Prime for $14.99 / £8.99 per month or £95 / $139 for a whole year, though if you haven't already used it, there's a free trial for the service too. Plus in the US there's a $8.99-per-month tier which only gets you access to Prime Video, which will be fine for streaming Good Omens.
