History Trivia / GoodOmens2019

* RealLifeRelative: Creator/DavidTennant's father-in-law Creator/PeterDavison appears in "The Clue" as Job. Ty Tennant, David's oldest child and Peter's grandson, plays Job's oldest son in the same episode.

** In their retirement, Pestilence spends a lot of time on the internet ranting about vaccines.

* ContentLeak: On 12 May, 2023, Creator/NeilGaiman posted to social media to warn fans of a content leak regarding season two, advising them to avoid spoilers until the series is released in July.

* DisabledCharacterDisabledActor: Season 2 introduces Saraquel, an Angel who uses a wheelchair as their actress Liz Carr does in real life. In scenes in Heaven, their chair floats, and on earth they are able to do miracles that make inaccessible places accessible. Notably, the character was not written with any disability in mind-- Carr was cast in AbilityOverAppearance for her pitch-perfect humor and sarcasm-- and so their use of a mobility device is treated as a complete non-issue.

* TheOtherDarrin: Beelzebub is played by Anna Maxwell Martin in season 1 and by Shelley Conn in season 2, as Martin was too busy to reprise the role. This is joked about in-universe; Crowley actually asks Beelzebub if they're wearing a new face, only for them to brush it off and say they've had it for ages, while [[spoiler:Gabriel]] questions them about it, Beelzebub simply say they got bored of having the same face for centuries.

* BillingDisplacement: Like ''Series/GameOfThrones'', the title sequence only lists the main cast members who actually appear in the episode as opposed to the entire main cast. So far, so good, but the third episode's title sequence is placed about a half hour into the episode, and lists [[Series/TheLeagueOfGentlemen Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton, and Reece Shearsmith]] despite all three appearing in minor cameo roles that are over [[ProlongedPrologue by the time the title sequence begins]].

** [[spoiler: This trope is completely inverted as of Season 2. In addition to [[TheBigDamnKiss Aziraphale & Crowley]], we also have Maggie/Nina and [[NonHumanNonBinary Gabriel/Beezelbub]] in prominent storylines.]]

** Season 2 sees several actors return in different roles. Creator/MirandaRichardson, who played Madame Tracy in Season 1, returns to the cast as Shax, a demon acquaintance of Crowley. Meanwhile, Maggie Service and Nina Sosanya return to play [[TheDanza Maggie and Nina]], a pair of shop owners neighboring Aziraphale, after playing members of the Chattering Nuns in the first season.

** The ''Good Omens Script Book'' features quite a few things that ultimately never made it into the final version of the show. Most notably, the theme song was originally going to be "Every Day" by Music/BuddyHolly (which would also be a reoccurring theme throughout the show itself), but this was eventually dropped in favor of the theme composed by David Arnold. A line from the song was eventually used as a tagline for the second season.

* TheDanza: Enforced with Harry the rabbit, who is in fact played by a rabbit named Harry. Since rabbits breed quite fast and there was some lead time before the scene would actually be filmed, when the director explained to the animal handler what the "role" was, [[https://twitter.com/neilhimself/status/1188703566443307008 the animal handler just bred a white rabbit and named him Harry]].

** Crowley's cell phone also replaces the Bentley's car phone, so we don't get the 'I bet it needs a lot of wire' joke.
