"American gods" may not have been the best TV show in the last 10 years, but it definitely had one of the best seasons in the past decade. Initially, supervised by Brian Fuller from Hannibal and "Pressing the margarites", the show made a boost to the work to adapt to Neil Gayman's original fantastic novel outside the gate. Of course, Season 1 covered only the first five chapters of the book over eight episodes, but did so with so much style and self -esteem that it is difficult to complain about the slow pace. The series knew exactly when and how to expand the source material; Simply put, Season 1 had the sauce in a way of which Netflix's TV -Adaptation on Gayman's "Sandman" comic books A few years later.

Tragically, Fuller (and his co-shower Michael Green) left the show after season 1 Due to some budget disputes with Starz. The series was significantly over the budget during the production of the first eight episodes; Well spent money on fans, but not so much when it comes to directors who had to justify investing so much resources in a show with less than a million weekly spectators. There were also rumors that Gayman was not happy with all the changes that Fuller and Green made in their book and that he played a role in their departure.

Fuller and Green are no longer involved, season 2 premiere 2 has seen an immediate drop in quality. It was not terribly true, but the self -confident hustle and bustle of the show was not replaced by a kind of dull competence. The series descended in the third season, the rating in a nearly constant decline, before Starz announced that the party was over. Following the cancellation of the "American gods" in March 2021The network made the following statement:

"" The American gods "will not return the fourth season. All in Starz are grateful to the dedicated team and the crew, and our fremant partners, who have brought a constantly relevant story by author and executive producer Neil Gayman in life talking about the cultural climate of our country. "

Enabling production even more fierce behind the scenes, it was announced that the cast and crew of the American gods were pretty loyal to Fuller and Green on the show's vision, and they were loud for their frustration with the new show -Shower Essi Alexander. This soon led Alexander himself to be replaced by the third show -Show of the series, Charles Chic Eegel.

Since most of Alexander's return was behind the scenes, Eegel's reaction became a great public story when he collapsed that he was the reason Orlando Onesons left the series (or more precisely, was fired) Before the Season 3. Oneson played the image of G -Din Nancy, a restless African god who responds to racism in the United States with just anger and violence. It was a portrait that could make certain members of the audience unpleasant, but it was undeniable interesting, and Mr. Nancy became a favorite of many black viewers.

Onesons spoke publicly about the situation, claiming that Eegel told him his character "sends the wrong message to Black America". As Jons' explained further In the video he posted on social media:

"There will be no more Mr. Nancy. (...) Don't let these mothers *** is to tell you that they love Mr. Nancy. They are not. I won't name names, but the new show of season 3 was born in Connecticut and Yale educated, so he is very smart and he thinks that Mr. Who are his advisers and made it clear to him that if he did not get rid of that angry God Mr. Nancy, he would begin in an uprising of Denmark ves in this country.

This was a bad look for the show to get into its third season, especially since it was a series that was previously praised for its varied acting and well -written black characters. Much of that strong reputation was reduced to the Onesons himself, who helped write the dialogue for several black characters on the show in Season 2 and took over the role of the producer.

Due to the combination of decline in grades, behind the scenes, and the growing frustration of fans, the "American gods" was canceled before it ended with adjusting the source of the material. At that time, however, it was reported that the show could potentially complete its loose strands with TV film, not unlike What happened to the Netflix series "Sens8" Back in 2018.

These plans have never materialized, but years later, it was still hoped that the "American God" series could continue in some way. Ricky Wittl, who played protagonist shadow Moon in all three seasons of the show, teased as much when he was interviewed by Bleeding cool In February 2024. "(The show) is not very dead." Bittl said. "I had discussions about two, three years now with Neil Gayman about taking it somewhere to finish it, in another stream to finish the story."

This was just a few months before Turtle Announces the first round of charges of sexual assault against Gayman, followed by another (and even more fatal) piece of Vulturewhich further damaged his reputation and killed public appetite for projects based on his work. Indeed, Gayman's adaptations, such as the "Cemetery Book" and "Good Omens", have been on a break ever since, and no new adaptation of Gayman was green in the meantime. So, although there may have ever been a chance that the "American gods" could get the final fans they want, for the time being, at least, the door seems to be closed.
