Benedict Cumberbatch has been cast as Satan in the upcoming Amazon series "Good Omens", which is based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. The actor will be voicing the character that Gaiman has revealed will be a "giant animated Satan". Cumberbatch's performance will appear in episode 6 of the series. "Good Omens" is set to premiere on May 31.
The story, which is described as "equal parts humor and horror, fantasy and drama", is set in the modern day when the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgment is set to descend upon humanity. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, and tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan — except that Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon, are not looking forward to the coming war, and someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.
The show's cast alredy includes David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Frances McDormand (as the voice of God), Jon Hamm (as the angel Gabriel), Nick Offerman, Miranda Richardson and Michael McKean. Gaiman adapted all six episodes of the series and also serves as showrunner.
Amazon has released the opening title sequence and you can watch it below:
