Crispin Glover Would Be Up For An 'AMERICAN GODS' Revival

With the news of Netflix renewing The Sandman for a second season, I wanted to briefly talk about another Neil Gaiman project that deserves more. STARZ canceled American Gods after three seasons in 2021 and fans, much like myself; have been waiting to see if there’s any chance of revival. At the time, Fremantle (producer of the show, which was based on Gaiman’s book) had promised it was committed to finishing the story, even if the network hadn’t picked it up for a fourth season.

However, as time goes on, that promise feels unlikely to be fulfilled. While some actors, like lead star Ricky Whittle; have kept a positive attitude that we may see the return of American Gods, other actors from the show haven’t really said much. However, Screen Rant decided to ask Crispin Glover in a recent interview if there was any possibility of a revival.

Glover played the powerful and intimidating Mr. World for all three seasons and his character was one of the big players in the show. There was a major cliffhanger in the final episode regarding Mr. World that book fans will know about, but fans of the show are left wondering who is the real Mr. World?

Screen Rant asked Glover if he’d heard anything about a revival and if he’d be interested. Glover responded:

“I haven’t, I would love to. There were three different seasons of it, each season had a different showrunner, which, of course, that is a bit confusing, because the showrunner, is going to have a very individualized [approach to how] they write, or are in charge of the writing team. So, they’re going to have a very individualized take, and that’s going to affect very greatly what the character is going to be like.”

Glover continued:

“Like I said, it’s a challenge, but I really hope and very much would love to finish it, because the end was a great part for my character, I really want to do it. [Laughs] So I very much hope they do something, and from what I understand, I’m not sure, I haven’t spoken with Neil Gaiman personally about it, but I think he wanted to get another entire season. I think that the financier were offering something less than a season, but that was all that I know about it, I would just like to finish it. For me personally, it wouldn’t matter if it was a whole season or just a final thing to finish the book. But then, of course, it’s Neil Gaiman’s book, so I would want him to be happy. So, I hope it happens, that would be great.”
