Neil Gaiman Adaptation ‘American Gods’ Gets Series Order At Starz
After being stuck in development hell for years (most recently at HBO), an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods is one step closer to becoming a reality. Starz has handed out a straight-to-series order to the project, which has been developed by Hannibal's Bryan Fuller and Michael Green (The River). The series order, the size of which has not been officially set, is cast contingent, with the start of production dependent on casting the lead role of Shadow Moon.
