Starz Renews AMERICAN GODS

Starz has renewed AMERICAN GODS for a third season. Additionally, Charles (Chic) Eglee has joined the series as showrunner.

“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,” said Carmi Zlotnik, president of programming for Starz, in a statement. “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.”

“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,” said executive producer Neil Gaiman. “Chic is the best partner-in-crime. 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 [former showrunners] Bryan [Fuller], Michael [Green] and Jesse [Alexander] 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.”

“It’s been a privilege for all of us at Fremantle to work with Neil and this extraordinary cast & crew on such a timely and wonderfully entertaining series and we welcome Chic to the AMERICAN GODS family for season 3,” said Dante Di Loreto, President of Scripted Entertainment for Fremantle. “The artists in front and behind the camera are deeply committed to continuing this extraordinary story, which powerfully speaks to the unprecedented times in which we all live.”
