American Gods

For all the amazing cast announcements descending from Starz’s American Gods, the Bryan Fuller series has lacked in one major front: photos! Now, feast your eyes on first looks at Shadow Moon, Mr. Wednesday and even Mad Sweeney in godly official photos from the 2017 premiere.

Just when you thought the cast of Bryan Fuller’s American Gods weren’t godlike enough, in comes our first major Hannibal reunion. Gillian Anderson has ascended to American God-hood (again), this time in the role of Media, the mouthpiece for the New Gods of Fullers’ Starz drama.

A few minor filming snags have kept a first look at Starz and Bryan Fuller’s adaptation of American Gods out of our hands a bit longer, but all will be worth the wait, per author Neil Gaiman. Not only is the casting apparently “shit hot,” but Gaiman gets equally colorful describing some of the fantasy drama’s first footage.

More and more TV shows each year make it impossible to keep up with everything, even as choice Sunday real estate goes to conversation-starters like Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. Well, get ready to not talk about the big Starz shows on Monday, now that the cable outlet will switch to Sunday premieres, from its usual Saturday.

Starz and Bryan Fuller’s American Gods suffered a minor setback with Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation star Sean Harris abdicating the role of Leprechaun “Mad Sweeney,” but now locks down a notable Orange is the New Black star to replace him. Pablo Schreiber has ascended to godhood, joining Starz’ new Neil Gaiman drama in a pivotal role.

Bryan Fuller’s Starz adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods finally got up and running before cameras, but not without a few snags. Not only has Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation baddie Sean Harris exited the role of Mad Sweeney, but so too has a clash in direction put the series behind schedule, and in need of a new director of photography.

It’s taken an eon to finally descend from Olympus, but Starz and Bryan Fuller’s take on Neil Gaiman’s American Gods is finally going before cameras. Starz has announced the official start of production with new cast photos, while stars Cloris Leachman, Peter Stormare and more join the roster.

Neil Gaiman has a history of lengthy development to get projects off the ground, like Sandman or American Gods, but perhaps none so long as his first novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. Now, after 26 years, Good Omens will finally get the TV treatment as well, thanks to the late Sir Terry Pratchett.

Having only recently table read, it could be some time before Starz’s American Gods delivers any real first look, but Bryan Fuller’s cast continually proves itself worthy of Olympus. Latest to join the series in God-ly roles are none other than Jonathan Tucker and Back to the Future icon Crispin Glover, but as whom?

The 100 has seen its share of controversial exits in Season 3, though several have been telegraphed by the actor’s work on another series. Ricky Whittle’s recent exit as “Lincoln” in particular drew renewed controversy, while the actor now speaks out to say that showrunner Jason Rothenberg actively bullied him off the show.
