BURBANK: FremantleMedia North America (FMNA) has entered into an exclusive, multiyear first-look agreement with the best-selling author Neil Gaiman.<\/p>\n

FMNA and Gaiman first began their relationship when the two joined forces to adapt Gaiman\u2019s American Gods<\/em>. The new far-reaching agreement will provide opportunities for FMNA and Gaiman to adapt any of his works, from novels to short stories, for television.<\/p>\n

The deal also allows for adaptation of projects involving third-party source material and IP. The partnership covers Gaiman\u2019s involvement in all creative capacities, including as a writer and as a producer. FMNA and Gaiman are already working together to identify a slate of projects. The plans are for projects that encompass both original content, as well as existing Gaiman properties.<\/p>\n

Craig Cegielski, co-CEO of FremantleMedia North America, said: \u201cNeil Gaiman is one of the most distinctive writers of our time and we\u2019ve been incredibly fortunate to be entrusted with his vision while adapting American Gods<\/em>. Our experience together has proven more than collaborative\u2014it\u2019s a shared ambition to create, develop and produce singular, bespoke content. We couldn\u2019t be happier to diversify and expand our relationship to future projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaiman added: “Working with my friends at FremantleMedia on shepherding American Gods<\/em> to the screen has been exciting and a delightful way to spend the last three years. I’ve learned to trust them\u00a0and to harness their talents and enthusiasm, as they’ve learned to harness mine. They don’t mind that I love creating a ridiculously wide variety of things, and I am glad that even the strangest projects of mine will have a home with them. American Gods<\/em> is TV nobody has seen before and I can’t wait to announce the specifics behind what we have coming up next.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
