AMERICAN GODS Renewed For Season 3 at Starz With New Showrunner

The hit Starz series, American Gods, based on the 2001 Neil Gaiman novel, has now officially been renewed for its third season. The series just started its second season at Starz and has just found a new showrunner for the series in Charles “Chic” Eglee, who has experience in writing and running shows like The Walking Dead, Dexter, andThe Shield. That experience gives me a lot of faith that Eglee is a fantastic choice and will do great things for the series.

Starz programming boss Carmi Zlotnik had this to say about the addition of Eglee in a statement:

“Audiences continue to worship at the altar of American Gods and we are excited to be able to announce to all the true believers that there is more of this fantastical series to come,”

and then added:

“With Chic at the helm, the invaluable insight and contributions of Neil Gaiman and the undeniable talent of this dedicated cast and crew, we know that the show will continue to deliver on the vision and promise laid out in the novel.”

And writer and producer Neil Gaiman himself had this to say:

“I’m thrilled American Gods has been renewed for a third season, and even more thrilled that I’m getting to work on it with Chic Eglee.” “Chic is the best partner-in-crime,” the author and Good Omens showrunner added. “We’ve been working for weeks now on the shape of the season and I’m delighted that he gets to carry the American Gods torch on to glory. Thank you to Fremantle, Starz and Amazon for having faith in the series, to Bryan, Michael and Jesse for bringing it this far, to all the cast and crew, and most of all to the viewers. It’s their love of the characters that took us to this point, and will take us on to the next chapter.”

Pretty exciting for fans! Are you excited about the upcoming season(s) of American Gods?
