Since its first season, Starz’s fantasy drama American Gods has seen its share of cast and crew shake-ups, including a carousel of showrunners. After the unceremonious departures of original point men Bryan Fuller and Michael Green, who adapted Neil Gaiman’s novel in 2017, and Jesse Alexander, who was essentially fired after ongoing script issues with the season two finale, Charles Eglee stepped in to helm the third season. However, it looks like the former Dexter and The Shield executive producer is already making some bold and, quite frankly, perplexing decisions ahead of the new season… like firing fan favorite Orlando Jones.
Jones took to Twitter Saturday morning to candidly inform the public of his surprising ouster.
