The good news? “American Gods” will be back on Starz for a second season. The bad news? Showrunners/creative forces Bryan Fuller and Michael Green are out.

Via Deadline tonight, Fuller and Green informed the “American Gods” cast of their departure today. The likely reason? “We hear series producer FremantleMedia North America, under new scripted chief Dante di Loreto, tried to impose big budget cuts for the 10-episode second season, which led to the showrunner change,” Deadline reports.

Contrary to that bit of information, we have been informed that budget cuts were *not* the reason for the departure. In fact, we’ve heard budgets are *increasing* for Season 2.

The site adds, “We hear more than half of the scripts for Season 2, which had been targeting a mid-2018 premiere, have been written. Search is underway for a new showrunner. Neil Gaiman may come on board as a co-showrunner but that is in flux as he also has series Good Omens for Amazon.”

The small screen adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s 2001 novel was created by Fuller and Green, so their loss is needless to say a massive one for the series.

In the wake of the five-season animated series “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous,” Netflix’s “Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” is stomping its way onto the platform this year.

“Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” premieres May 24, and the series is set six years after the events of “Camp Cretaceous.” Watch the official trailer from Netflix below.

While the other characters from “Camp Cretaceous” are back in the new series, what’s interesting here is that Jenna Ortega’s Brooklynn is not coming back. As the official “Chaos Theory” trailer reveals, Brooklynn was killed off between shows, with the character’s death kickstarting the “conspiracy thriller” events of this brand new Jurassic World sequel series.

Jenna Ortega had voiced Brooklynn for all five seasons of “Camp Cretaceous.”

In the CG-animated series from Universal, DreamWorks and Amblin Entertainment…

“Six years later, members of “The Nublar Six” are struggling to find their footing off the islands, navigating a world now filled with dinosaurs and people who want to hurt them.

“Reunited in the wake of a tragedy, the group comes together only to find themselves on the run and catapulted into a global adventure to unravel a conspiracy that threatens dinosaur and humankind alike and finally learn the truth about what happened to one of their own.”

There will be 10 episodes in the show’s first season, running 22-minutes each.

Scott Kreamer, Aaron Hammersley serve as Executive Producers and Showrunners, with Steven Spielberg, Colin Trevorrow, and Frank Marshall also serving as Executive Producers.

Speaking of Jurassic World, a brand new live action movie is also coming soon. It doesn’t yet have a title, but it’s releasing July 2, 2025, and Scarlett Johansson is in talks to star.
