Upcoming Sci-Fi and Fantasy Movies and TV22 of 36
"Anansi Boys" | In Development at Prime Video
While the book is a spinoff of "American Gods," there’s no sign that Amazon’s adaptation will pull from the same world of Starz’s late series. The good news is no background is required to get wrapped up in the web of this spider god’s hilarious and moving stories. Where "American Gods" is dense and contemplative, "Anasi Boys" is wry and fast-moving. It’s the perfect candidate for an adaptation from the studio that brought us Gaiman’s pitch-perfect "Good Omens."
