Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's 'Good Omens' will be adapted into a radio drama, BBC announced early September.

Both writers will be working together with BBC Radio 4 to help produce the miniseries, which will consist of five half-hour long episodes plus an hour for the finale. BBC had already started recording the dramatization in a "secret London location" earlier this month and will be airing it sometime in December.

The novel, which was published in 1990, depicts the Armageddon in an unexpected way.

The story follows an angel-and-demon duo who doesn't want the world to end just yet. With everyone preparing and panicking about the upcoming event, Aziraphale and Crowley sets out to look for and kill the Antichrist himself. However, someone seems to have misplaced the boy.

Fans will reportedly be delighted with the mini-series' star-studded cast, which includes Mark Heap (Stardust) as the angel Aziraphale and Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy) as the demon Crowley.

They will be joined by Clive Russell (Game of Thrones), Louise Brealey (Sherlock), Phil Davis (Whitechapel), Colin Morgan (Merlin), and other notable actors. Gaiman and Prachett were also noted to cameo in the mini-series.

In other news, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's 'Good Omens' was also considered for a movie adaptation in the past according to Cinemablend.

Gaiman, himself, confirmed the plan on Twitter.

The supposed project had pegged the recently deceased Robin Williams to star alongside Johnny Depp with Terry Gilliam at the helm. The production struggled to secure a budget for the film, however, and ended up being shelved.

Could the movie version get its funding if the BBC Radio 4 adaptation becomes a success?

Hopefully, the radio drama will follow the footsteps of another Gaiman novel which was adapted for radio last year. 'Neverwhere' attracted more than 1.5 million visitors to the programme page, according to BBC.

Do you think the radio drama adaptation will give justice to Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's 'Good Omens?' Or will a movie version be better instead?
