Neil Gaiman's novel, "American Gods," is getting a TV adaptation, and fans of the book and author are looking forward to see how the story will unfold on the small screen. Producer Byran Fuller took some time to drop info about how things are developing for the upcoming TV series.

Fuller is no stranger to horror-thriller stories. The screenwriter is famous for his work in the psychological thriller show for NBC, "Hannibal." He picked up the project along with "Smallville" producer Michael Green when HBO failed to finalize the deal to bring it to television.

The 45-year-old producer told Den of Geek that the development of Neil Gaiman's work is "going along nicely" and that they are currently looking into creating the world and backdrop for the series.

"The first two scripts have been written and we have been working with illustrators designing the world, so we've got these fantastic illustrations of jack's Crocodile Bar, the Bone Orchard and Zorya's rooftop with all the telescopes looking up at the bear constellation," said Fuller.

The team has yet to complete the visuals for the series' pitch they plan to present to Starz. Fuller revealed that while they plan to be faithful to the English author's work, some part in the series were not included in the book.

Fuller also said that while no one has been cast for the role yet, the team already spoke to one actor for a role in the series. It was also reported that Gaiman has been hands-on with the project and that he is hoping that all major roles will be finalized before making an announcement.

Among the roles they are looking to fill are for Laura, Wednesday, Shadow, Mad Sweeney and Bliquis.

Because of the different ethnicities represented in the book, Fuller maintained that one of their objectives is to have a "very ethnically diverse cast."

"One of the things I'm most excited about for 'American Gods' is the diversity in the cast because there's such a wide range of ethnic gods in the world," said the producer. "Right now, we're imagining two white roles and everybody else is non-white."

Gaiman has expressed his confidence in the decisions Fuller and Green has been making. In a previous report from Den of Geek, the author lauded the interest that both producers have shown for the project.

"When you create something like 'American Gods,' which attracts fans and obsessives and people who tattoo quotes from it on themselves or each other, and who all, tattooed or not, just care about it deeply, it's really important to pick your team carefully," said Gaiman.

He added, "You don't want to let the fans down, or the people who care and have been casting it online since the dawn of recorded history. What I love most about the team who I trust to take it out to the world, is that they are the same kind of fanatics that 'American Gods' has attracted since the start. I haven't actually checked Bryan Fuller or Michael Green for quote tattoos, but I would not be surprised if they have them."

With the development moving continuously, Fuller believes that the series could air in late 2016.
