Amazon Prime Video users have to say goodbye to a fantasy drama.
After only three seasons, the series ended prematurely.
Series fans should always expect never to see the finale of their favorite productions.
For example, Netflix is more often canceling its own productions early *.
Other streaming services and broadcasters do the same.
The American pay-TV broadcaster Starz, for example, has now announced that it will end the fantasy spectacle
“American Gods”
after the third season.
In this country, all three seasons can be found on Amazon Prime Video.
Anyone who has been following the news on "American Gods" for a long time should not find this news particularly surprising.
In the past, there were behind the scenes, more often conflicts and personnel changes.
Amazon Prime Video is not showing any new seasons of "American Gods" - not everyone is surprised
The final episode of the third season of "American Gods" only started on March 21, 2021 in the USA.
A day later, Amazon made the episode available.
Starz seems to have decided on the end of the series a long time ago, as
Variety
magazine
reported the cancellation only a few days later.
According to insiders, this decision is related to falling audience numbers.
From the 1st to the 3rd season, the number fell
by 65 percent
.
Another reason could be the changing showrunners.
New staff were hired for each season after there were sometimes disputes with a producer.
In addition, the makers fired the actor Orlando Jones after the second season, because his character Mr. Nancy allegedly could not be well received by the black American population.
A guest appearance by Marilyn Manson was also canceled after the abuse scandals surrounding the musician.

"American Gods" is based on the book of the same name by Neil Gaiman, which is also available on Amazon (promotional link).

At the moment, “American Gods” does not yet have a worthy finale that answers all open questions.
According to
Variety
, Starz is open to discussions about a film or a shorter series that can give the story a round ending.
It remains to be seen in the future whether the actors will actually return to the film set.
