Neil Gaiman’s ‘Good Omens’ Cast Doctor Strange’s Benedict Cumberbatch As Satan

Doctor Strange, otherwise known as Benedict Cumberbatch, has been confirmed to voice the role of the fallen one Satan in Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens.

While doing a panel at the Television Critics Association press tour, Neil Gaiman who co-wrote the novel Good Omens and is producing the Amazon series officially announced that the Doctor Strange star would be voicing the character.

Satan is rumored to appear in the series sixth episode. Although, that isn’t that big of a surprise. He will be voice acting opposite the voice of God, played by Frances McDormand.

The series is said to follow an angel named Aziraphale played by Michael Sheen and a demon named Crowley played by David Tennant who hope to offset the apocalypse by searching for the lost Anti-Christ whom at the time is only 11 years of age.

The supporting cast also features some heavy hitters such as Nick Offerman of Parks and Recreation fame and Jon Hamm who will play the Archangel Gabriel.
