That said, real discussions of an Anansi Boys spinoff won’t be able to start unless Starz and the American Gods creative team are able to get the film rights – and with Red still holding those rights, it’s unclear whether that will ever be possibility.
Still, American Gods isn’t quite a literal adaptation of Gaiman’s novel, and an Anansi Boys series wouldn’t have to be either.
If we ever get the rights to Anansi Boys, that will be the first spinoff of the show because Orlando is so fantastic and deserves his own show.
American Gods premieres Sunday April 30 @9pm on Starz.
