Good Omens Creator Neil Gaiman Signs Deal With Amazon Studios

Get ready to renew your Amazon Prime membership folks, because Neil Gaiman is getting into the Amazon business. The Good Omens creator and showrunner Neil Gaiman (not to mention fan favorite dark fantasy author) has just signed an overall deal with Amazon Studios.

According to Deadline, the writer has signed an exclusive deal for him to make new TV shows on the Amazon Prime Video platform.

“Neil Gaiman is a phenomenally talented writer, who creates worlds that are compelling, multi-dimensional and narratively unique,” said Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios. “His fans are ardent, vocal and passionate and we are fortunate to bring his gifted vision to the Prime Video audience.”

“What decided me was how much I enjoyed working with the Amazon team on Good Omens,” said Gaiman. “They are smart, gloriously enthusiastic people, who weren’t afraid of Good Omens being different but who were as determined as I was to make something as unique and exciting as it is. I’m thrilled to know that I’ll have a home at Amazon in the future where I can make television that nobody’s seen before, that’s quite unlike Good Omens, but just as unusual and just as much fun.”

As mentioned above, he’s currently hard at work on Good Omens, the adaptation of the same work from him and co-author Terry Pratchett. The series is being produced for Amazon Studios as well, and as such, we can take this to mean that both he and Amazon have enjoyed working with each other quite a bit.

This is another piece of big news following the report that The Wheel of Time would be heading to the streaming platform as well. Watch yourself, Netflix! Amazon is coming at you with premium fantasy programming!

Now if only they can get to work making their streaming app less ugly and more user friendly…
