'Anansi Boys' is getting a series, Neil Gaiman announces

Neil Gaiman's "Anansi Boys" is getting adapted into a series!

The author made the announcement on Thursday through his online journal, sharing how it started—from declining an initial offer to now working on it alongside "Good Omens 2."

"'Anansi Boys' is coming," Neil wrote.

In the poster that Gaiman shared in his journal entry, a person is seen standing at the edge of a cliff, overlooking what looks like a desert, with the sun shining brightly above.

According to Gaiman, the "thrilling" cast will be announced soon. Hanelle Culpepper of "Star Trek Picard" will be the lead director of the series and direct two episodes.

The 2005 fantasy novel's scenes for the series will be shot in Scotland. Its premiere date is yet to be announced.
