    Amazon's quest to hire top-tier actors for its original shows is still in full swing. The internet giant has revealed that Mad Men star Jon Hamm is joining the main cast of Good Omens, the episodic adaptation of the novel penned by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett. Appropriately for the former Don Draper, he'll play Gabriel -- Gaiman describes the character as the "good-looking, charismatic and impeccably dressed" archangel that serves as a foil to his more earthly counterpart Aziraphale.

    Good Omens, Amazon's upcoming six-part mini-series based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's novel of the same name, will star Michael Sheen and David Tennant, Variety reports. The new show comes on the heels of the successful first season of American Gods, a series adapted from Gaiman's novel of the same name. For the new miniseries, however, Gaiman will also act as showrunner.

    Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett fans, take note: Good Omens, a novel written by Gaiman and Pratchett, is being adapted into an Amazon miniseries. The six-part series will debut in 2018, with Gaiman serving as sole writer and showrunner. It's a timely release, too -- Amazon's description says that "Good Omens takes place in 2018 when the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgment is set to descend upon humanity," a feeling that some of us can relate to today.
