The casting process for "Good Omens" was both collaborative and meticulous, led by casting director Nina Gold. The goal was to find actors who could not only embody the essence of their characters but also gel well with each other. Many of the actors had to audition multiple times, showcasing their ability to deliver the unique blend of humor and pathos that the series demanded.
Throughout the casting process, the creative team emphasized the importance of chemistry between the leads. Michael Sheen and David Tennant's dynamic was particularly highlighted during auditions, as their banter and rapport mirrored that of Aziraphale and Crowley from the novel. This chemistry ultimately became a defining feature of the series.
