From the success and fame of Mad Men and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, John Hamm turns up in the first episode on the doorsteps of Aziraphale naked and with a box as the archangel Gabriel.

Gabriel is the overseer of the universal forces but appears to be in a dazed state, thereby setting the plot of the new season of Good Omens.
