Looks like an American god has another showrunner problem

American gods Starz has been quick to renew its season 2 with a rapid renewal of Season 2, and until now, it's the best news received by the series with regard to upcoming episodes . Things started to turn south for the series when Bryan Fuller and Michael Green finished season 2 in full production. Now, it seems that Jesse Alexander, the replacement of Fuller and Green, is leaving the circuit. which seems to be a very complicated situation.

Jesse Alexander apparently still has his job, but he was effectively prevented from doing all the activities that a showrunner could normally do. Specifically, it is said that Alexander was removed as a writer and is kept out of the editing room and all other areas involving the production of American gods. THR reported the situation as a "shot but not shot" scenario, where the only reason Alexander is still with the production is so the news does not come out American gods has lost several showrunners in two seasons.

It is also reported that Jesse Alexander failed to provide a script for the American gods Season 2 finale that leaders are satisfied. The sources said that Alexander was on the seventh project, and was probably cut by Starz and Fremantle, since he apparently no longer writes for the series. Alexander came into the show when it was said that more than half of the scripts for the upcoming season were over, and it is unclear if this is the final scenario of the season that holds back or secures it. there are several episodes.

Tensions have also been reported between Jesse Alexander and actor Ian McShane regarding the scenarios. The showrunner and the actor engaged in "screaming matches", which could have started after McShane had attempted to improve dialogue of the scripts provided. The incidents have apparently resulted American gods sign Orlando Jones as a writer for the series, with the goal of preventing any fine that could result from the violation of the rules of the guild by actors. Other rumors in the series indicated that writers showed themselves with handwritten pages of manuscript rewrites of Alexander's episodes supervised, which seems a little unusual.

Whatever the situation, things are bad enough for American gods Season 2 production is six weeks late and currently paused. Once again, it is reported that the actors are frustrated because they do not have a complete script, or even script for the finale. It is said that Neil Gaiman wants to have greater control over the show, even though it has been said that Jesse Alexander was originally a showrunner with Gaiman's approval, and because his scripts he had presented followed better the novel of the author.

Despite the drama American gods is still on track for a release of Season 2 at Starz, although an announcement at a release date could be far away. Keep up to date with what's happening on TV in the meantime with our fall guide.
