Neil Gaiman has reportedly offered to step back from Good Omens following the announcement thatproduction had been paused on season 3.

According toDeadline, Gaiman, who serves as head writer and showrunner of the series, “made an offer to Amazon and producers to take a back seat on the latest season so that it can continue amid crisis talks” over the show’s future.

It was reported this week that Good Omens season 3 would halt production amid sexual assault allegations against Gaiman, first reported by UK outletTortoise. Gaiman denies the allegations. GamesRadar+ has reached out to Amazon for comment.

Netflix also recently canceled the Gaiman-produced series Dead Boy Detectives, based on characters from the author’s own Sandman universe. As it stands, The Sandman season 2 is still in production.Disney, however, put a hold on the live-action adaptation of Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book.
