Michael Sheen's new comedy-horror-fantasy-drama series Good Omens isn't going to premiere until next year, but that hasn't stopped the actor from already hyping up the huge production.

Early in 2017, it was confirmed that Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's novel was getting the TV adaptation treatment and Sheen and David Tennant were confirmed to be taking on the lead roles of the demonic Crowley (Tennant) and his heavenly counterpart Aziraphale (Sheen) later that year.

And today (April 14), speaking on Zoe Ball's new ITV talk show Zoe Ball on Saturday, Sheen is making sure we know it was just as much a treat to film as it will be (we imagine) to watch.

"I got to just spend six months doing a double act essentially with David Tennant," Sheen shared.

"You know David, he's just the nicest man in the world. We would do scenes and I would literally be watching him and half way through the scene I'd have to stop and go, 'That was very good, you are good aren't you?' It was a real treat."

Good Omens is a six-part series that centres on two deities as they try to stave off the oncoming apocalypse, with Crowley and Aziraphale working together to keep the Antichrist from bringing about the End Times.

We got our first look at our new favourite double act in September last year, with Sheen sporting a very blonde hairstyle in his role as angel.

"It's still bleached blonde underneath this," Sheen said. "Now, I look like essentially what I am, an old man who is dying his hair to look young."

The new production also features a stellar cast line-up, from Mad Men's Jon Hamm as the Archangel Gabriel, to Mark Gatiss and Steve Pemberton, Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman and Derek Jacobi as the Voice of God. Colour us excited!

Zoe Ball's new show continues with Zoe Ball on Sunday tomorrow (April 15 at 8.30am on ITV, while Good Omens will launch on Amazon Prime Video in 2019, and on BBC Two at a later date.
