Amazon shelves Good Omens season 3 until this rough Neil Gaiman business is sorted out

The production has been halted after Tortoise Media's podcast Master: the Allegations Against Neil Gaiman, which heard accounts from different women accusing Gaiman of sexual misconduct

Per Deadline, the third season of Prime Video's Good Omens has paused production in the midst of sexual assault and misconduct allegations against co-creator and showrunner Neil Gaiman.

The decision to pause the production of the third and final season of the apocalyptic comedy starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen comes just five days after Disney paused their own production of a Gaiman adaptation, the YA ghost story The Graveyard Book. As Popverse has previously reported, Disney did not specifically cite the accusations against Gaiman as a reason for their pause; neither does Amazon cite the allegations as the reason for theirs. 

Those allegations come from a Tortoise Media podcast titled Master: The Allegations Against Neil Gaiman, which features women accusing Gaiman of sexual misconduct from as far back as 1986. Several women, including a former household assistant, a nanny, a fan, and a publicist, have taken part in the Tortoise project, with some of them going on record using their names, and others preferring to stay anonymous.

Deadline reports that a spokesperson for Amazon Prime Video did not comment on the pause in production.
