Starz's Neil Gaiman adaptation American Gods will receive its UK premiere on Amazon Prime Video UK on Monday May 1st, it has been announced. New episodes will continue to be made available to Amazon Prime subscribers in the UK every Monday, less than 24 hours after they initially air on Starz in the United States. Starz's American Gods adaptation has found a UK home. Amazon Prime Video has secured the exclusive UK rights to the series after striking a deal with FremantleMedia International, TVWise has learned. The streaming service has also acquired rights to American Gods in Austria, Germany and Japan. 
Orlando Jones (Sleepy Hollow) and Demore Barnes (12 Monkeys) have joined the cast of Starz's drama series American Gods, which is based on the novel by Neil Gaiman, TVWise has learned. 
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.
