Star Trek Discovery and The Saint’s Jesse Alexander will be showrunner on the belated second season of American Gods, alongside creator Neil Gaiman.

Alexander worked with original American Gods showrunner Bryan Fuller on both Hannibal and the new Star Trek show, as well as writing the original pilot screenplay for the most recent incarnation of Leslie Charteris’ The Saint.

“I’m thrilled that Jesse is [the new] showrunner. He loves and understands the book, he loves and understands the TV series and he’s dedicated to making future seasons of American Gods as good and as beautiful and as unique as they can be,” Neil Gaiman told The Hollywood Reporter, who broke the story. “Shadow’s journey is going to take him, and Mr. Wednesday, and the New Gods and the Old, to some very strange places. I’m glad that we, and the cast and crew, will have Jesse shepherding us on the way.”

According to THR’s sources, the original six scripts for the second season will be reworked now Alexander is on board.
