Actor Jon Hamm is set to star as God's messenger in "Good Omens," Amazon and the BBC's adaptation of the Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman novel.

Hamm has been roped in to play archangel Gabriel, the primary messenger of God, in the upcoming six-part series, reported Variety.

"I read 'Good Omens' almost 20 years ago. I thought it was one of the funniest, coolest books I'd ever read. It was also, obviously, unfilmable. Two months ago Neil sent me the scripts, and I knew I had to be in it," Hamm said.

Hamm joins a lineup that includes Michael Sheen and David Tennant in the lead roles of the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley, respectively. Jack Whitehall, Michael McKean, Miranda Richardson, and Adria Arjona are also among the cast.
