We won't go on too long about the possibility of Neil Gaiman handling a Doctor Who novelization or about his supporting The Onion for a Pulitzer (awesome video below) or about how he accidentally tweeted his hotel room's location and phone number, because we have an update on American Gods.

Just a couple days ago we heard HBO's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods would be six seasons with ten to twelve episodes per season and $3 to $4 million allotted to each hour-long episode to pay for awesome special effects.

When last we wrote about the American Gods TV series in development, we were trying not to squee all over the place because we've been burned before on adaptations of Gaiman works where Hollywood didn't deliver.

Neil Gaiman's had a really disappointing track record when it comes to adaptations of his work.

With the impending success of "Game of Thrones" looming this weekend, HBO is looking to develop another fantasy series: Neil Gaiman's American Gods, a 2002 novel that won the Stoker and Hugo Awards.

Back in 2008, Harper Collins and Neil Gaiman put his book American Gods up for free browsing for a month, which Gaiman wrote about on his website at the time to answer critics who said the promotion would hurt book sales.
