Neil Gaiman Signs First-Look Deal with 'American Gods' Producer FremantleMedia
Neil Gaiman has inked a first-look, multiyear deal with American Gods producer FremantleMedia North America. The deal will see more of Gaiman's work developed for television. Gaiman will also be involved as writer and producer in all potential projects.
“Neil Gaiman is one of the most distinctive writers of our time and we’ve been incredibly fortunate to be entrusted with his vision while adapting American Gods,” said Craig Cegielski, co-CEO of FMN. “Our experience together has proven more than collaborative – it’s a shared ambition to create, develop and produce singular, bespoke content. We couldn’t be happier to diversify and expand our relationship to future projects.”
“Working with my friends at FremantleMedia on shepherding American Gods to the screen has been exciting and delightful way to spend the last three years. I’ve learned to trust them, and to harness their talents and enthusiasm, as they’ve learned to harness mine. They don’t mind that I love creating a ridiculously wide variety of things, and I am glad that even the strangest projects of mine will have a home with them. American Gods is TV nobody has seen before and I can’t wait to announce the specifics behind what we have coming up next," Gaiman said.
