The showrunner for a new Starz TV series that is in pre-production, Bryan Fuller ("Hannibal"), spoke with Collider about the upcoming show, "American Gods," and gave fans a few details that are exciting, to say the least.

First of all, the original book's author Neil Gaiman is going to be scribing some of the episodes for the show, which definitely reinforces Fuller's strong commitment to staying as true to the original content as possible.

"Neil Gaiman is going to be writing episodes of the show," Fuller said while asserting that he and his production staff are "cranking away" at the first two scripts.

Fuller is most well-known for this creative talents on "Hannibal," giving it the most realistic look with an abundance of taste that might have been a little too much for broadcast network television. The show has recently been cancelled by NBC, but is in the process of finding a new home, likely a non-linear platform.

Fuller spoke to Collider after picking up his trophy at the Saturn Awards for the Best Network Television Series, which was won for "Hannibal."

According to Deadline, Gaiman's involvement in the writing process follows on the heels of some of his predecessors, such as George R.R. Martin. Martin's hugely successful "Game of Thrones" series has been heralded as one of the best show's on television. It airs on premium cable network HBO and falls outside of the realm of control for the FCC.

Stephen King, whose works have graced both the big and small screens, has also recently written several episodes of his hit CBS series "Under the Dome."

Suffice it to say that bringing back the original creator/author of the "American Gods" series is a wise decision for Fuller and Starz. Gaiman's 2001 novel was a hit amongst his fans and drew critical appraise.

The story centered around old-world Gods and new Gods. The old-world Gods were those of mythology, but they are falling away from the human belief because people now worship the Gods of money and technology, media and celebrities, and even drugs.
