American Gods is a giant tome of a book , with huge glob remove or left out once Neil Gaiman realise how long his fib was getting . So when Bryan Fuller and Michael Green twist the Good Book into a show , they had to move things around , modification fictional character , and make a lifelike season death . And so the conclusion we ’re function to get is brand novel .
When we asked star Ricky Whittle if he had scan the record book before he ’d get a line they were making a show , he say he had n’t :
He also went on explain that he ’s only just been capable to recognize all the changes from the Koran to the filmdom :
I did n’t get to kind of finish the leger until we wrapped , but that ’s when I really realise what Bryan ( Fuller ) and Michael ( Green ) had done with the plot line . The whole kind of timeline had changed around , so even hard-core American Gods rooter wo n’t know what ’s going on in this show . It ’s go to be fresh for their middle . Even the season closing curtain is not in the books . So , everything you loved that ’s in the Holy Scripture is go bad to be in the show , but then so much more .
We ’ve know for a while that the show was expand the histories of the god and the sketch about immigrants and their gods in the United States . We also know that the backgrounds of the eccentric have been changed and updated to better fit 2017 ( the Quran was released in 2001 ) . But this tells us that a moment that is usually a big climactic result — the finale — has been written peculiarly for the show . I ’m sure we ’ll get a better idea of the shape of those things as the episode line , but right now we ’re all left wonder .
American Gods premieres April 30 .
