Starz's American Gods Will Differ From the Book With Bigger Female Roles

American Gods won't make its debut on Starz until 2017, but there's already plenty of buzz surrounding the network's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's beloved novel of the same name.

The first trailer was released last month at San Diego Comic-Con, and on Monday, executive producers Bryan Fuller (Hannibal) and Michael Green (Kings), who first met when they both worked on Heroes, presented it to reporters at the Television Critics Association fall previews.

[...] a notable change is the expansion of the novel's female characters, a decision Fuller and Green made because, as Fuller described it, the novel is largely a "sausage party" as it's about "two guys on a road trip."
