I just find out about this, and wanted to share it. One of the best books of two of my favorite writers is getting a TV Series in Amazon, and they have secured some star power to play characters in it.

This would not be the first time either Pratchett or Gaiman get adapted to TV. Several Discworld novels were adapted to BBC specials, and Gaiman's American Gods is a very successful series on Starz.

You know, sometimes I wake up in the morning and I feel overcome by a profound, crushing sadness because I get hit with the realization that Terry Pratchett is still dead.

But I digress. A series based on Good Omens? Sure, why not. It was a pretty good book.

Crowley as in Mr. Aleister Crowley the English Cultist?

No, in the novel Anthony Crowley is a demon that lives on Earth and is quite fond of mankind.

And yes, the author was quite aware of "the other Cowley" and the book has several references to him.

This is good news.

Still sad that Terry Pratchett is dead.

But this is good news.
