totalfilm: American Gods heading to HBO in 2013 Brit author Neil Gaiman is set to shepherd his much-loved novel American Gods onto TV screens in 2013. Though as recently as March this year Gaiman was talking about Gods being turned into a movie, the author has struck a deal with co-producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman and their production company Playtone. American Gods is being planned as a six season TV show, with each season consisting of 10-12 hour-long episodes. The budget’s nothing to be sniffed at either, with each season given a money bag containing $35-40m. Nothing compared to The Pacific’s $225m, but way above anything else on network television. “There are some crazy things in American Gods,” says Goetzman, justifying that budget. “We’ll probably be doing more effects in there than has been done on a television series.” *flailing like a crazy person*

American Gods heading to HBO in 2013

Brit author Neil Gaiman is set to shepherd his much-loved novel American Gods onto TV screens in 2013.

Though as recently as March this year Gaiman was talking about Gods being turned into a movie, the author has struck a deal with co-producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman and their production company Playtone.

American Gods is being planned as a six season TV show, with each season consisting of 10-12 hour-long episodes.

The budget’s nothing to be sniffed at either, with each season given a money bag containing $35-40m. Nothing compared to The Pacific’s $225m, but way above anything else on network television.

“There are some crazy things in American Gods,” says Goetzman, justifying that budget. “We’ll probably be doing more effects in there than has been done on a television series.”
