Amazon has greenlit Anansi Boys, a six-episode adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s 2005 fantasy novel of the same name which features American Gods character Mr. Nancy.
Anansi Boys focuses on Charlie Nancy, “a young man who is used to being embarrassed by his estranged father, Mr. Nancy,” according to the official logline.
In addition to Anansi Boys, Amazon recently ordered a second season of Gaiman’s Good Omens, which too was conceived as a limited series.
“I’m so thrilled it’s happening and that people will be meeting Mr. Nancy, Charlie and Spider, the Bird Woman and the rest of them.”
