Friends of mine likely know that the Starz adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s novel, American Gods, is one of the pieces of pop culture I am most excited about in the near future. Check out the first look trailer here.

The series is being adapted by TV genius Bryan Fuller (Hannibal, Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies), with an all-star cast that includes Orlando Jones, Crispin Glover, Peter Stormare, Cloris Leachman, Gillian Anderson; best of all, it stars the inimitable Ian McShane. There’s no such thing as a guaranteed success… But damn if this doesn’t seem close.
