Comment OP here and no, Sandman definitely got fucked, although how much is Netflix being Netflix vs. the Gaiman news breaking and them going "fuck, do we cancel or just condense the remaining 90% down into one short season" is an open question, but they chose option 2.

I don't blame you if you're pissed at me for saying this, but I never watched season 2 of Good Omens, and with the Gaiman news I may never unless I get curious and bored and (despite having a Prime subscription that I'm planning to ditch soon because fuck Bezos) pirate it.

Because...

The entire book got adapted already! Season 2 and whatever truncated season 3 are optional extras to the book. There's even speculation that Gaiman's whole "I'm doing it for Terry, we always wanted to do this and it just never worked out" was another of Gaiman's self-serving lies, once Pratchett wasn't around to gainsay him.

If Gaiman was telling the truth that the Pratchett-planned South Downs cottage bits were always meant to go after a season 2-ish "God is missing and the angels are in charge" arc with a bonus romantic-feelings realization/confession for Aziraphale and Crowley, it sucks that any of Pratchett's original plans have Gaiman's stink all over them now.

I'm not a "that's not my Aziraphale and Crowley" fan, or a "they're not in love!" fan. I think they're cute together. I bought season 1 secondhand on DVD after the Gaiman news broke, but until then I'd only watched it twice, and I always figured season 2 and on were gonna be mostly or entirely Gaiman's thing.

I'm more of a Pratchett fan than a Gaiman one, but I love(d, my feelings are more ambivalent now) Sandman and own the hardcover doorstop omnibuses, some of Gaiman's other comics, a couple short fiction collections, and all of his novels. My first copy of Good Omens was bought back in the 90s and has mostly disintegrated.

I feel bad for show Good Omens fans getting shortchanged, but the Sandman show is basically gonna be the Cliff Notes version, plus the actors and creative team were working under a big "all our hard work is gonna be judged as rapist apologia" cloud for almost the entirety of filming season 2.

Idk, the whole thing sucks. Kind of wish Gaiman had been the one to die unjustly young and Pratchett was still around and healthy, and not only because some of Gaiman's victims would've been spared.
