Maggie Service at the London Comic Con Spring, 2.3.2023 :) ❤
Reporter: Also in Doctor Who but better known for her role in Good Omens, the series which promotes inclusivity, it was Maggie Service's first Comic Con.
Maggie: I've just had this lovely mom, who whose children aren't here today, but are non-binary and trans and - it's going to make me cry again - but they've just, you know, they've said that the character gives them a place to be.

FIRST OFFICIAL VICTORIAN AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY PHOTO!👀👀👀❤❤❤
also: 'Aziraphale is still running bookshop, but he's also Maggie's landlord. She thinks he's the best because he lets her stay on and doesn't really mind if she doesn't make too much money.'
If Aziraphale's Bentley is yellow, Maggie's is...
Maggie Service: Okay. The other Maggie,she's got a record player in there. We'll make that work somehow. Oh, yeah, it would be turquoise and, oh, it might have some kind of bird on the side.
Int: Like a dove.
Maggie: Yeah, but like a cool dove.
Int: A dove wearing Ray Bans.
Maggie: Yeah.
Int: Like a cool dove
Maggie: Yeah.
Int: Yeah, why are we getting so angry?
Maggie: I don't know but I like it. Okay, I just.... hot pink probs? Just probably hot pink. Really goodspeaker system. Somewhere to put your drinks. Not an alcoholic, we're driving. Yeah, I think that. I think, like, a really bold hot pink. And it might play the odd musical tune.
Nina and Maggie interview with Matt Mahler for Movieweb :), 10.7.2023
Question: What was it like playing new characters in Season Two?
Maggie: I immediately cried and then said, yes, please, that, please, I'll do that.
Nina: I didn't think it was particularly real. Why would that be real? I got an email at 02:00 in the morning, but it turns out it was. I think, I think it's lovely that you think it was beautiful because I think it is much more personal and it's much more about people or entities learning to trust each other and realising that they might need each other in order to live well. So I think that's rather lovely.
Question: How did you prepare your on-screen relationship?
Maggie: Well, yeah, the characters are written so beautifully that the dynamic is a lovely thing to play.
Nina: Well, the characters are really very well drawn and you sort of instantly know who they are, from the first few times you meet them in that first episode. And I guess we had conversations about the tone and about how big to play some things. And I guess the conclusion was not big .It was to be just as natural, as sincere and true to the real situation as possible. Even when something miraculous might be happening in front of you as humans, you interpret it in away that makes sense of your world.
Maggie: Yeah. And there's always room for sort of quiet, unspoken connections...
Nina: Yeah, between the lines.
Maggie: Yeah, those were a good few days, working out the looks and the unsaid words, what we were actually saying.
Question: How does this season question good and evil?
Maggie: Yeah, I think it does endlessly in both the seasons, actually. And I don't think that we ever come to an answer. I think the point is that we have to keep asking the question and possibly not judging things and looking within ourselves .And if everybody did that, maybe the world would be in a slightly more nice place.
Nina: Maybe a little more stable position. Who knows? Yeah. It seems to be about the whole of Good Omens, as Maggie was saying, is about asking that question and about realising that you need both sides. And it's about context as well, that good and evil only exist in whatever situations they exist in. And what might be good in one situation to be bad in another.
An interview with Nina Sosanya (Nina), Maggie Service (Maggie), Liz Carr (Saraqael), Quelin Sepulveda (Muriel) and Shelley Conn (Beelzebub) on a possible Season 3 and who they would like to play with Serialowa, from July 2023. (x)
Maggie: It turns out when somebody, you know, creates a universe, they can literally write what they want.
Nina: They can do what they want.
Maggie: They can do what they want.
S2 trailer + Neil Gaiman said recently that he had plans for Season 3 and he wrote Season 2 as sort of a bridge between the first season and the third one. Do you know anything about what's next?
Maggie: If we did, we couldn't possibly tell you or we'd be fired from all jobs in the future forever.
Nina: Yeah, I think we get struck down by lightning, probably above and below and sideways. I expect
Maggie: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shelley: First of all, yeah, of course, it'd be lovely to do another season. I mean, obviously, we're still kind of dining out on this one and enjoying everything that comes with it. So we're really focused on how this one will be received.
Nina: It will be wild, I think. And, I mean, it's not a secret that Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman had talked about where the story might have gone before Terry passed. So, yeah, we've known that. There's all stuff in Neil's head.
S2 trailer + If Season 3 actually happens, would you rather come back as your current characters or the new ones? You could also switch places and go from Heaven to Hell.
Shelley: It's a good question, actually.
Quelin: I know.
Shelley: That is a very good question.
Nina: I think all of those.
Maggie: Yes, one, two and three, please.
Nina: Yes.
Maggie: Yes, we'll do all of it.
Nina: I think we'd love to be satanic nuns again. We'd love to be Maggie and Nina again. But then there's all sorts of who knows what's in store in Neil Gaiman's head. Yeah. So it could be anything.
Quelin: I mean, I loved playing Muriel, so, you know, but I'm going where Neil takes me. If he takes me.
Liz: Yeah.
Shelley: Yeah, absolutely.
Quelin: I 100% just trust him.
Maggie: It turns out when somebody, you know, creates a universe, they can literally write what they want.
Nina: They can do what they want.
Liz: I would trust him with that. But, to be honest, even though you're on one side, we're both anyway. Do you know what I mean? I don't think my character. I don't think Saraquial is like, you know, that... good, in a way. I might wear white, but I'm not sure I'm not evil in a way. So, I think whatever I play, there's always you know, if I came back in the same character, I think I could embody both sides, the good and the evil.
Shelley: I would go with whatever Neil wants to put my way.
Maggie: So that's a very cool, you know, person to know, actually, isn't it?
Nina: Yeah.
Maggie: Thinking about it.
Nina: Yeah, yeah.

Good Omens star Maggie Service teases a cliffhanger ending to season 2 as Crowley (David Tennant) and Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) return.
As Good Omens season 2 nears, star Maggie Service has given a fairly ominous teaser about what to expect from the upcoming episodes, which will see Michael Sheen's Aziraphale and David Tennant's Crowley return.
Speaking about how the season ends, returning star Service, who plays a new character called Maggie, told RadioTimes.com: “Where we end, I think, is so beautifully written because none of it’s tied up in a bow, none of it’s Hollywood magic. It’s real within fantasy - and what is going to happen next?"
She added of the season as a whole: "Neil Gaiman actually said that this season is gentle and romantic. It’s totally the same tone but a different pace and we get to spend more time with characters and get to really properly know them. They, I think, get to know a little bit more about themselves because of the way others interact with them as well.”
Service went on: "I guess season 1 we end off with Aziraphale and Crowley not affiliated with Heaven and Hell anymore, so we see them in a much more human dynamic, in a much more day-to-day life. Delightful Maggie, she has the record shop next to Mr Fell's bookshop. It's a shop that's been passed down through the generations...
"When we meet her at the beginning, she's really sure of her emotions and she's really sure of what she wants. But I think it's fair to say she has no idea how to get it. And, without doing too many spoilers, with her openness of emotions and possibly slightly oversharing with Mr Fell - who she thinks is the kindest man in the whole wide world - the fact that she's done that leads to a bit of entanglement of worlds and stories and mystery and misdirection and all sorts of epic adventures!"
Tennant recently told SFX of season 2: "What’s different in season 2 is, because of what happened at the end of season 1, they no longer have head offices that they have to report to.
"They are in a very different position. Whereas before they were trying to get away with things, now they are kind of free agents."
Sheen continued: "Although sort of fugitives as well. They are sort of in-between. But this amazing life they have created over a millennia, they are now able to enjoy in a slightly different way.
"They are not having to put on a front for their respective teams. There is a different kind of freedom.
"They have always been the only two beings who could understand each other’s position. Now they are pushed even closer together."
👀👀👀 "none of it’s tied up in a bow" oh dear, I hope not much of a cliffhanger
Maggie Service, who stars in the new series of Amazon Prime's Good Omens, was only five years old when she had a life-changing realisation.
Maggie interview with Murray Scougall for The Sunday Post, 10.7.2023
Having played a small role in the first season, she made such an impression on Gaiman, whose other work includes The Sandman and Coraline, that he wrote a new, bigger part for her.
“In the middle of lockdown, in the bleakest period when I couldn’t envisage a time when the creative arts would exist again, I received an email from Neil informing me he was writing season two, and that he was writing a part for me and she would be called Maggie, so that there would be no confusion in casting.
“He asked if it was something I would be interested in, and once I stopped crying, I emailed back and said, yes please!”
“The first series was Neil writing a love letter to his pal Terry, and I thought it was finished with after season one since we’d done the book. But he could write whatever he wanted for season two since it was all in his head, and he decided to bring back the people he liked to work with. He said I’d brought joy to the set during the first season.”
Maggie was involved with Good Omens from its inception. Invited to a script read-through for Gaiman and the TV executives during pre-production, she made such a good impression that she was cast as demonic nun, Sister Theresa Garrulous. When she was killed off, Maggie thought it was the end of the adventure, but instead it was only the beginning.
“In the first season, I had no scenes with David or Michael, so to work with their characters in the second season felt like an out-of-body experience. It’s extraordinary what they bring to the parts. And the green room was ridiculous – some days I was looking around, thinking I was the only person there I hadn’t heard of!
“We filmed in Bathgate, where they turned the studio into the streets of Soho. It was incredible. We had electric cars, 350 supporting actors, and every corner, brick and poster on the walls looked phenomenal.”
She hopes her role in Good Omens 2 proves to be a pivotal moment in her career. “I have a beautiful character arc this season and there are some pretty boss moments, which are divine,” she said. “This does feel like a significant moment in my career. Because I’ve never been here before, it’s difficult to see into the future of what it might be, but to get a story arc like this and to do things I’ve never had a chance to do on screen before will, I hope, shift things, because I love working and hope to do more.
“This feels like a weird time because it’s been nearly two years since we received the scripts for the new series and it’s been our little secret, now it’s about to go out and it’s quite a cool moment to see it go free.
“I’m hopeful that people who haven’t seen me before will see me in this. Whatever happens, I’ll keep saying yes to things and try to bring joy wherever I can.”
Nina and Maggie interview with Caitlin Tyrrell for Screenrant :)❤
Screen Rant: I love this show so much! Season two is amazing and you both are phenomenal in it!
Maggie Service: Oh, thank you so much. Nina Sosanya: Thank you.
Can you talk to me a little bit about playing the human story in this largely Celestial series?
Maggie Service: Yeah, I think they're quite good grounding I think for the audience. It's almost like they're a connector between the Celestial world and the audience. I think that's been set up really well in season two. Nina Sosanya: Yeah, they kind of magnify the themes in a kind of human way that we find sort of quite relatable. The themes of good and bad. The themes of when and if to trust another person with your vulnerabilities, which is what's going on with Heaven, Hell, Crowley, Aziraphale, and, you know, everyone. Maggie Service: Everyone.
I love your characters' dynamics with Crowley and Aziraphale. Can you talk to me a little bit about working with David and Michael to create those relationships?
Maggie Service: Yeah, well by this point, their portrayals of Aziraphale and Crowley are just iconic. But my character didn't get to have anything to do with them really in season one. So it was lovely to actually meet Aziraphale and Crowley in season two and go, "Ah, yeah. This is, okay, that's who you guys are." Nina Sosanya: You know what's actually quite nice is also because they're so iconic that you read the book, you know the characters, then you see season one, and then as human characters, we get to treat them [as] they're just these normal blokes. So these characters don't know about their iconic status at all and don't care, really. They're just taking them at face value. Two quite kooky odd guys to be either suspicious or to be in awe of. Maggie Service: Just they're the loveliest men in the world. Yeah.
What was it like collaborating with Neil Gaiman this season on an original story versus season one where it was an adaptation?
Maggie Service: Well, his focus was very, very clear for what the story was going to be. [He] and Terry Pratchett had spoken about what the sequel would be. Season Two might be a bridge to a possible thing that may or may not happen. Who knows. We have to see how much people love Season Two first, but he was very clear on what it was. So actually, the scripts hardly changed at all. Quite often, you'll get so many different versions of a shooting script, but really, when they landed that's what we shot and that's the story we told. Nina Sosanya: But he was lovely. He was very happy being on set and watching his work comes to life. He likes actors and he likes that process. He likes watching the process of his words being owned by other people. He's very generous in that way. He sort of gives his work away to the actor. Maggie Service: Yeah, he likes writing for specific people, I think because he feels safe in that he can probably hear how it's gonna sound. So when it does I think he quite likes that too. Makes him feel quite clever and makes us feel like we've done a good job. It's good for everyone.
