Starz Network recently announced that its series American Gods is ending with Season 3. The fantasy drama was canceled due to low ratings, and while it didn't have high viewership, there's no doubt that American Gods had fans who will miss the show, with even author Neil Gaiman is holding onto hop, claiming the series is not completely dead on Twitter. There are also rumors that there will be an American Gods TV movie, but nothing has been confirmed yet, so for now, fance can turn to these shows to fill the void left by the canceled series.
Lucifer
Lucifer follows the titular character Lucifer, the Devil himself. Bored of his life in Hell, he leaves for Los Angeles, where he opens a night club and becomes a consultant to the LAPD. Both American Gods and Lucifer are connected to writer Gaiman. He's the author of the novel American Gods, which the canceled series is heavily based on, and he also created the DC Comics character Lucifer, which the Lucifer TV series is based on. Fans of American Gods will enjoy Lucifer for its similar religious and fantastical themes, as well as their contemporary yet magical settings.
Game of Thrones
The wildly popular Game of Thrones is a must-see for any fan of the drama or fantasy genres. Set in medieval times, Game of Thrones follows nine warring families as they battle to claim the Iron Throne, which means one will subsequently inherit control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Fans of American Gods are certain to enjoy the series, as when the former was released, it was hailed by critics and audiences as the "new Game of Thrones."
Preacher
Preacher presents an Agnostic view of the Christian God -- a God who has left humanity. Supernatural-powered preacher Jesse Custer sets out in search of the missing, all-powerful being. While American Gods focuses on faith in multiple gods across many cultures and countries, Preacher centers on Christianity. In some ways, Preacher acts as the antithesis of American Gods. However, fans of the latter will certainly enjoy its contrasting themes, and both explore divinity in unique, fascinating ways.
Good Omens
Much lighter than the heavy tones of American Gods, Good Omens follows the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley as they band together to prevent the impending Armageddon and the coming Antichrist. Like both American Gods and Lucifer, Good Omens has a history with writer Neil Gaiman, as he co-wrote the fantasy novel of the same name.
His Dark Materials
Based on Philip Pullman's fantasy novels, His Dark Materials has heavy Christian and Catholic themes. The series follows a girl named Lyra across the multiverse in her quest to free the world from the oppressive Magisterium. Both American Gods and His Dark Materials share themes of religion and dark fantasy that fans are sure to enjoy.
Based on the Neil Gaiman novel of the same name, American Gods stars Ricky Whittle, Emily Browning, Bruce Langley, Yetide Badaki, Ian McShane, Omid Abtahi and Ashley Reyes. All three seasons are available to stream on Starz.
