It’s only taken 15 years or so, but Y: The Last Man is finally coming to TV. FX has officially handed down a pilot order for the long-awaited adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan’s seminal comic, tasking an American Gods castoff and Jessica Jones fave to helm it.

Well, you can thank the Gods for at least some good news. Starz has officially recruited Star Trek: Discovery alum Jesse Alexander to showrun American Gods Season 2 after Bryan Fuller’s exit, but the eventual return may be more of a reboot than we’d like.

The departures of Bryan Fuller and Michael Green from Starz’s American Gods have been bad news across the board, but there may yet be silver lining. FX is reportedly “pretty optimistic” about their own adaptation of beloved comic drama Y: The Last Man, now that Green has a bit more free time on his hands.

Prospects are increasingly bleak for American Gods Season 2, especially after Gillian Anderson left the series behind showrunners Bryan Fuller and Michael Green. Now, Starz admits they’re having trouble filling the slots, but may come to an arrangement with Fuller, Green and creator Neil Gaiman for future seasons.

Gods be cruel. Starz’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods may have hit another snag on the road to Season 2, as fan-favorite addition Gillian Anderson is reportedly leaving after the exit of series creator and showrunner Bryan Fuller.

If Starz’s American Gods had to part ways with showrunners Bryan Fuller and Michael Green, novel writer Neil Gaiman would be high on the list of acceptable replacements. That may not come to pass, but there’s some good news that could place Season 2 in line for a 2018 premiere after all.

For the second year in a row, Bryan Fuller has left a series fans were ecstatic he’d joined in the first place. New reports indicate both Fuller and producer Michael Green have left Starz’s American Gods ahead of Season 2, owing to budget concerns.

It should go without saying, but just in case: SPOILERS AHEAD for Blade Runner 2049 — specifically the ending of Denis Villeneuve’s sequel to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic, which has proven itself exceptionally faithful to its predecessor in that it’s already woefully underappreciated in its time. But if you’re one of the (very smart) few who paid to see Blade Runner 2049 over the weekend, you may be interested to learn a little more about the film’s ending, which wasn’t originally written that way.

Live-action adaptations of Y: The Last Man have been so long coming, we barely noticed FX’s TV take fell behind. That said, the reason for the delay is surprisingly in line with the comic, as writer Michael Green reveals the outcome of the 2016 election made him rethink the pilot.

At long last, Neil Gaiman’s American Gods finally made it to the screen with Sunday’s Starz premiere, faithfully representing Shadow Moon, Mr. Wednesday and many others. Sure, there were changes here and there, but as Gaiman himself reveals, there was at least one tweak of the source material he’d step in front of a bus before agreeing to.
