Neil Gaiman's American Gods Coming To Starz

[Jello Biafra]

The man behind TV’s Hannibal is taking on another popular book: Neil Gaiman’s American Gods.

Writer/producers Bryan Fuller and Michael Green (The River, Kings) are penning an adaptation of the urban fantasy novel for Starz.

Fuller and Green will serve as showrunners on the potential series, while Gaiman will be an executive producer.

“Neil Gaiman has created the holiest of holy toy boxes with American Gods and filled it with all manner of magical thing, born of new gods and old,” said Fuller in a statement. “Michael Green and I are thrilled to crack this toy box wide open and unleash the fantastical titans of heaven and earth and Neil’s vividly prolific imagination.”

American Gods was previously in development at HBO.

Bryan Fuller is going to go nuts with this especially on cable where he won't be reigned in by the censors.

I was looking forward to watching this on HBO when it was first announced, but this'll give me a reason to watch Starz for the first time since Spartacus

Damn I was wondering what was taking hbo so long to drop this but now I see Starz got a hold of it.

 

[ltheghost]

Yes! I wondered what happened to it.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Great book

I might have to go ahead and read this. Hopefully it translates well to TV, Starz hasn't had a show I really enjoyed since Spartacus.

The characters were more interesting than the story

I was wondering that too.
Its possible that both shows have non-conflicting shooting schedules though.
