For his part , Gaimanreplied to Kraish ’s tweetwith : “ Hoping very much to see you back in Season 4 ! ” We know the next season of the show is focus on the Lakeside plot line from Gaiman ’s book , so it ’s possible they resolve to cut down on other game in season three , but think Orlando Jones ’ news show , it does n’t count great overall for Starz .
American Gods ’ own Shadow Moon — Ricky Whittle , who is obviously locked in for season three since his grapheme is at the nerve center of the story — shared his support last night for Jones , whose role on the series extended off - television camera with writing and producing duty . But Whittle also diplomatically removed himself from any argument surroundingthe fresh showrunner , Charles “ Chic ” Eglee .
“ Orlando Jones is an incredible talent and friend I bet up to , supporting and I hope we knead together again . He was fun to influence with , give me veteran advice and constantly gave award desirable performances as Mr. Nancy . Nothing but love for him , ” Whittlewrote in part last night . “ I ’m ineffectual to speak on his situation as I have no knowledge of what is or has transpired , I was not addressed nor am I secluded to any decisions made regarding cast / storyline . talk only from my personal experience , Chic personally has really had my back since day one , wanting to explore Shadow in more profoundness . I am extremely proud of the stories we are tell in season 3 . ”
Nobody can bump my kin . I’m proud to be aside of this diverse mould & gang who are work their derriere off to fork up a wild season 3 proceed to tell Shadows report and the awesome characters he forgather along the way as in@neilhimselfincredible book#readit#details 🤔 pic.twitter.com / PahPC9j3HB

This break of the day , Whittle dropped another tone of positiveness about the new time of year , complete with a pretty cute behind - the - scenes photo that he ’s not actually in ( above ) .
American Gods season threedoes not yet have a release escort , but considering how “ meh”we feel about season two — which hail after a similar amount of cast and crew tremble - ups ; who else has a hard time remembering thatGillian Andersonused to be on this show?—we’re awaiting its return to Starz with something more akin to morbid curio than fervor at this point .
