Tennant returns in hit fantasy series

-

Paisley-born actor David Tennant is set to return to TV screens for a second season of the hit fantasy drama Good Omens.

Tennant, who was raised in Ralston in the town, stars alongside Michael Sheen in the series which is based on a 1999 book written by Sir Terry Pratchett.

The first series aired on Amazon Prime Video in 2019 and was repeated on BBC2 last year.

Tennant, who went to Ralston Primary then Paisley Grammar, features as demon Crowley, who has lived on Earth alongside angel Aziraphale since the beginning of time.

The pair — representa­tives of Heaven and Hell — try to stop the world being wiped out by the birth of the antichrist, played by Sam Taylor Buck.

The cast included some of the biggest names in TV and film, including Line Of Duty’s Daniel Mays, Frances McDormand and Anna Maxwell Martin.

Filming by BBC Studios is likely to begin this year and the highly anticipate­d second season could air in 2022.
