Neil Gaiman Shares Update On Anansi Boys Prime Video Show
Author Neil Gaiman has taken to Twitter to provide fans with an update about the progress of Amazon Prime Video’s adaptation of Anansi Boys. Based on the bestselling 2005 novel of the same name, the series follows the twin sons of the Ghanaian trickster god Anansi, or Mr Nancy. While not directly connected with the American Gods series, the character of Mr. Nancy did appear in that particular adaptation played by Orlando Jones. In Anansi Boys, the trickster god’s role is slated to be played by Delroy Lindo.
