Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actress, Frances McDormand will lend her voice to the six-part Amazon series as “the voice of God.”
The news was announced Friday during Amazon’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con. The apocalyptic drama is based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s 1990 novel of the same name. Douglas Mackinnon, known for Sherlock and Doctor Who will be directing.
Amazon describes the series as, “The End of the World is coming, which means a fussy Angel and a loose-living Demon who’ve become overly fond of life on Earth are forced to form an unlikely alliance to stop Armageddon. But they have lost the Antichrist, an 11-year-old boy unaware he’s meant to bring upon the end of days, forcing them to embark on an adventure to find him and save the world before it’s too late.”
