Earlier this month, Deadline revealed that Starz gave the green light for "American Gods," a series adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel of the same name.

Collider reports that producer Bryan Fuller confirmed the involvement of Neil Gaiman himself in writing the script. Series creators Fuller and Michael Green will be running the show, but casting and release dates are yet to be announced.

"We are cranking away. We got the first two scripts written already and it is going to be really exciting," Fuller told Den of Geek.

He added, "It is wonderful to be working with Neil Gaiman and Neil Gaiman is going to be writing episodes of the show. So, it is going to have scope, as it should."

Bryan Fuller is a screenwriter and TV producer who is behind the production of the "Hannibal" series, while his fellow producer, Michael Green, has written and created the series "Kings."

The novel, "American Gods," tells the story of Shadow Moon. Right after his release from prison, Moon is offered a job that would change his life. Soon, he finds himself in a war of gods divided by time, interests and worlds.

As many fans of Gaiman already know the story, people want to know if the series will closely follow the novel's storyline.

When asked, Fuller told Crave Online, "It's basically the following the events of the books but expanding those events, and expanding the point of view to go above and beyond Shadow and Wednesday.

"In that way, as with 'Game of Thrones,' there are dozens of characters that you're tracking through the events and that's probably the biggest similarities between the worlds, in that there's a wide variety of characters at play."

HBO's "Game of Thrones", now a famous TV series, started as a book by George R.R. Martin. The series also follow the events in the novel as the author himself is closely involved in the production.

Neil Gaiman's book has a spin-off novel titled "Anansi Boys." While the book is neither a sequel or a prequel, the two novels took place in the same world.

When asked if the "American Gods" series may include characters from "Anansi Boys," Fuller tells Crave Online, "I believe that we have permission to use since Anansi Boys are in the world of American Gods."

As Starz is still currently casting for the series, it may finish production and start airing next year or later.
