Emily Browning and Sean Harris have
also been cast in significant roles.
“American Gods” is an
adaptation of the Hugo award-winning fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman, in which
tensions between the old gods of mythology are clashing with new gods of tech
and media in modern America. The series is currently in production for Starz
and expected to air in 2017.
Fuller will also helm the “Star Trek” series for CBS and CBS All Access.
