The show still went massively over budget, and the cast and Starz were so dissatisfied with Alexander’s work that he didn’t finish the season. The story went that Fuller and Green wanted more money for an already expensive show, and that Neil Gaiman wanted a little more control. Such has been the case with Starz’s American Gods, a show that had a critically successful first season but was derailed when showrunners Bryan Fuller and Michael Green were let go and replaced by one of Fuller’s collaborators, Jesse Alexander. It’s never a good sign for a show when more of the buzz between seasons has been about its tumultuous production and behind-the-scenes drama than about its plot or characters.
