Between Good Omens “Season” 3 arriving next month and the Harry Potter reboot no one but HBO’s accountants asked for continuing forward, it’s as difficult as it’s ever been to separate inspiring creations from their less-than-inspiring creators. With J.K. Rowling serving as executive producer on the new Potter series, and with some of her extensive royalties being funneled into anti-trans rights campaigns, giving the show a pass certainly seems like an easy piece of moral calculus.
Neil Gaiman, meanwhile, stepped away from Good Omens in the wake of sexual assault allegations from nine women, complicating the fandom’s relationship with the franchise. That the show will enjoy a heavily truncated third season is more than Gaiman’s other projects got: a Graveyard Book movie, a new Coraline musical, and an Anansi Boys TV show were among the many productions axed, despite the latter two being pretty much set to go. But what do we do with the creations that already exist?
